Second Workshop: Brussels, Hotel
Metropole, 30 March 2006
In the second international workshop on Harmonised European Approaches
for Transport Costing and Project
Assessment (HEATCO), the preliminary project findings and
recommendations for the guidelines regarding the following cost and
impact categories were presented :
- general accounting framework
- value of time and congestion,
- accident risk reduction,
- health impacts and nuisances from pollutant and noise emissions,
- infrastructure costs.
Furthermore the application of the guidelines was illustrated along
a number of case studies on TEN-T projects.

First Workshop: Brussels, 14 April 2005
As a key feature of HEATCO, harmonisation of guidelines is being
organised in a cycle process, involving
representatives from member countries from the beginning of guideline
development, with discussions and
revision of different guideline versions. Thus, in this first HEATCO
workshop, the aim has been to inform
about the current practice for project assessment in the EU member
states and to discuss
- the necessity of having harmonised guidelines,
- the scope and content of the guidelines,
- the degree to which differing methods and parameter values could
be applied in the different countries,
- the area of application of such guidelines.
Based on the recommendations acquired in this workshop, the HEATCO
consortium will develop a proposal for
harmonised guidelines, that will be presented and discussed in a second
workshop taking place early 2006.
