“…HSR services generate substantial demonstrable effects in urban economic transition (Ahlfeldt & Feddersen, 2018;Coronado et al, 2019). HSR is the more desired mobility option than road and air travels over long distances (Hayashi et al, 2015) and serves as an alternative to traditional rail (Givoni & Dobruszkes, 2013), aircraft (Dobruszkes et al, 2014), and automobiles (Campos & De Rus, 2009) due to more efficient use of land for transportation (Wee et al, 2005). HSR is one of the major determinants of urbanization (Coronado et al, 2019), economic development (Ahlfeldt & Feddersen, 2018;Chen & Haynes, 2017;Vickerman, 2018) and economic growth (Chen et al, 2019;Vickerman, 2018).…”

Growth benefits of high speed rail (HSR) for enterprises are not automatic, but require a buoyant local economy and a robust strategy. Against the above background, the main objectives of ex-ante case study have been to investigate local socio-economic and spatial impacts of proposed HSR project around Ahmedabad station area on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad HSR corridor, analyze the opportunities and challenges of HSR development and draw policy implications. Qualitative research methodology has been used to elicit the perceptions and perspectives of randomly selected 43 small, medium and large enterprises. Data has been analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study reveals that HSR induced greater human interaction will activate the local economy, improve business efficiency and generate employment. Frequent travels on business trips can influence enterprises' decision to settle near HSR stations for easy access and likely to promote realty development. The proposed HSR project should be developed in synergy with the urban dynamics of cities in transition and metropolitan service cities. Poor public transport connectivity is likely to be a major challenge in improving HSR accessibility and enhancing overall impacts of HSR, which can be improved by developing an integrated urban transport system, for which cooperation of all stakeholders and coherence with firms' strategies is essential.

“…He notes that connectivity augmentation between regions of different levels of development not only allows the less developed region to have access to better markets located in the more developed regions, but it also makes it easier for firms in developed regions to supply more impoverished areas. This added advantage may directly harm the industrialization prospects of areas with lower development levels, and the result may directly affect the environment as well as the quality of life of individuals (Hayashi et al 2015;Rothengatter et al 2015).…”

Traffic on roads outside of urban areas (i.e. extra-urban roads) can have major ecological and environmental impacts on agricultural, forested, and natural areas. Yet, data on extra-urban traffic volumes is lacking in many regions. To address this data gap, we produced a global time-series of traffic volumes (Annual Average Daily Traffic; AADT) on all extra-urban highways, primary roads, and secondary roads for the years 1975, 1990, 2000 and 2015. We constructed time series of road networks from existing global datasets on roads, population density, and socio-economic indicators, and combined these with a large collection of empirical AADT data from all continents except Antarctica. We used quantile regression forests to predict the median and 5% and 95% prediction intervals of AADT on each road section. The validation accuracy of the model was high (pseudo-R2 = 0.7407) and AADT predictions from 1975 were also accurate. The resulting map series provides standardised and fine-scaled information on the development of extra-urban road traffic and has a wide variety of practical and scientific applications.
