Differentiated sources of funding road infrastructure

Abstract

Article reveals the growing need for increased investment in projects for the modernization and development of the motor road network and identifies the problem of high capital intensity of road construction facilities and the duration of the investment payback period that hinder the inflow of private investments. By analyzing the economic aspects of road infrastructure, the authors have developed the economic and mathematical model for optimizing the placement of asphalt-concrete plants and the cost of producing the asphalt mix, the algorithm for optimizing the cost of road facility construction, the algorithm for selecting effective investment options for commercial roadside projects.

Differentiated sources of funding road infrastructure

“…The economic and mathematical model for optimizing the location and product output of the asphalt-concrete plants includes all critical elements: the cost of crushed stone and bitumen supplied to the asphalt-concrete plants; the maximum capacity of asphalt-concrete plants, the cost of asphalt mix supplied to the construction site (Korotkij, 2007).…”
