The Swedish Transport Administration has an assignment to be responsible for the state's contracts for transport policy-motivated interregional public passenger transport where there are no conditions for commercial operations. Among these contracts, air traffic is currently available on a dozen lines. The lines in question are chosen today by means of accessibility studies. Air traffic, however, has high costs and there are often border cases where it may be questionable whether an airline should be a priority for public service obligations. The contracts should be transport policy motivated. The transport policy objective is that transport supplies must be economically efficient. It is therefore important to supplement the selection methods with a socio-economic approach. However, existing socioeconomic methods are not adapted to the current area. It is not a question of gaining as much socio-economic profit as possible. Instead, it is a question of using a fixed budget for the purpose in the best possible way. Different options for solving an accessibility problem are then compared to each other in order to find the best possible solution from a socio-economic perspective. The purpose of the project is to develop and test a socio-economically based method adapted to the assignment. The focus of the project is to compare travel options with alternative travel options, which may be both existing and other contracted options to improve accessibility. In connection with this, we also study how the price structure for airline tickets can be adapted to enable air travel for different customer groups. Methodology is based on scientific basis and is based on research and experience from Norway, but is adapted to Swedish conditions. Estimates of travel time from ASEK and supporting materials from existing routes form the basis for the calculations. The methodology should be used to determine which routes it is reasonable to impose public service obligations on and to calculate an optimal supply level. The developed methodology should then, with some adjustments, also be used for other types of traffic. |
