Summary: This research paper has three primary tasks: 1) deriving in a more rigorous fashion the implications of modern economic theory, engineering, and operations research for transport planning; 2) formulating more complete models to simulate or otherwise adduce the relationships between transport investments and the broader national goals of economic development; and 3) applying these techniques to the problem of discerning which transport technologies, new and old, might best serve the economic goals of underdeveloped countries under varying geographical, industrial, and population circumstances.
