Toll Road Traffic & Revenue Forecasting

The principle that the “user pays” has never been more important in the provision of highway infrastructure. The need to deliver high quality road infrastructure, as soon as possible and within public expenditure constraints, has forced governments worldwide to consider road tolling as a feasible option. Private sector participation can also provide cost savings in operations and maintenance with the potential to generate capital from the sale of future revenue streams.

Highway infrastructure projects are long term investments. It is essential to base investment decisions on reliable estimates of future traffic levels and potential toll revenue, as well as understanding the uncertainties involved.

Jacobs Consultancy’s experience in toll road demand and revenue forecasting, coupled with our wider highway planning and engineering expertise, places us in an ideal position to advise public and private sector clients alike. We perform studies specific to clients’ needs, including:

  • Pre-investment traffic and revenue forecasts
  • Detailed Public/Private Partnership feasibility studies
  • Traffic and revenue forecasts and audits
  • Sensitivity testing and quantitative risk analysis

Jacobs Consultancy has developed an enviable track record in the execution of toll road studies (both shadow and real tolls) working for lenders (including during syndication), bidding consortia and public sector promoters.
