We have developed a first draft version of a tool to compute the economic benefits of measures to enhance the efficiency of the freight transport system. This is based on results from the Norwegian national model system for freight transport, composed of a general equilibrium model, a network model and a logistics model. From the Logistics Model we collect changes in system-wide logistics costs and changes in tonne-kilometres and freight vehicle kilometres for the computation of the external costs of emissions, accidents and noise. Since the Logistics model is still under development, we have not yet implemented an integrated module for all of the calculations. Instead, results from the Logistics Model will have to be inserted in a spreadsheet model. The report specifies which result files from the Logistics Model that are to be used in the benefit calculation.
