Benefit Estimation and Distribution Impact Assessment of Road Projects

The analysis focuses on two key areas i.e., benefit estimation and distribution analysis of rural road projects. Benefits estimation is fundamental to make a decision on acceptability of any road projects. Benefit considers the profits from time saving, cost saving, and saving from accident costs along with other indirect benefits. Distribution analysis pursues to distribute the net benefits or loses created by the project from primary or secondary level. The distribution analysis is worthwhile for policymakers because it permits them to measure whether the prospective distribution of net benefits. Therefore, a sound roads impact evaluation is commanding to project appraisal and policy decision. The data gathering is also imperative for assessing the public benefits but the reliable data and the appropriate approaches are far-reaching in road projects particularly rural roads.
