Transport: Results of ADB-Supported Operations, 2010-2018

Results achieved are aggregate amounts of outputs and outcomes from operations reported in project completion reports and extended annual review reports circulated for the year.

 148,785,943 average daily vehicle-kilometers use of roads built or upgraded in the first full year of operation

148,785,943 average daily vehicle-kilometers: Traffic benefiting from built or upgraded roads in the year after project completion. Vehicles are buses, trucks, minivans, cars, motorcycles, and other motorized means of conveyance, depending on the country and location. Daily vehicle-kilometers is to be calculated by adding all distances in kilometers traveled by all types of vehicles in a day on roads built or upgraded.

 25,937,061 average daily ton-kilometers use of railways built or upgraded in the first full year of operation

25,937,061 average daily ton-kilometers: Railway freight benefiting from built or upgraded railway in the year after project completion. Ton-kilometer is often based on data provided by the railway company, as revenues are typically collected on this basis. If this is not available then daily ton-kilometer is calculated by multiplying the daily freight tons carried by the average number of kilometers hauled. The indicator excludes urban rail.

 107,917 kilometers roads built or upgraded

107,917 kilometers: Length of expressways and national highways (i.e., fully access-controlled roadways) and provincial, district, and rural road networks (i.e., roads without full access control) built or upgraded, expressed in kilometers.

 16,156 kilometers expressways and national highways built or upgraded

16,156 kilometers: Expressways and national highways built or upgraded (kilometers)

 83,960 kilometers provincial, district, and rural roads built or upgraded

83,960 kilometers: Provincial, district, and rural road networks built or upgraded (kilometers)

 2,744 kilometers railways constructed or/and upgraded

2,744 kilometers: Length of railway tracks built or upgraded in kilometers (double tracks do not count twice). Railways refer to intercity and/or regional rail infrastructure.

Note: Results achieved are aggregate amounts of outputs and outcomes from operations reported in project completion reports and extended annual review reports circulated for the year.
