TIME MULTIPLIER IN TRANSPORTATION
Abstract
The article reveals the essence of multiplier effect and time multiplier. An example of calculation of time multiplier is provided with the example of travel by car along 10 km route in the metropolitan city. A comparative analysis of characteristics of time multiplier and traditional, macroeconomic multiplier is given. It is emphasized that considerable values and high volatility of time multiplier can be seen as an evidence of unfavorable situation in the transportation system, and attempts of «smoothing» serve as criteria of improvement of this situation.
