Determining future transport infrastructure needs is traditionally the first stage in the investment planning process. However, this process generally takes place within the framework of national transport policy, even incases where the infrastructure is used for international traffic flows. This report proposed to address this issue by considering the specific needs of international traffic flows with regard to inland modes of transport.The sections of this paper are as follows: Introduction; A difficult forecasting exercise; Planning and financing new infrastructure; and Conclusion.
