AB - During the formulation of the Asian Highway (AH) network undertaken from 1993, it was observed that road conditions in countries varied and often substantially. In some countries, substandard sections affected road transport safety and operational efficiency. It also became apparent that the upgrading A routes in some countries to a minimum AH standard was a necessity.
In this regard, the development of the AH database was considered to be of a significant practical value for the effective AH development since when completed, the AH database will:
(a) Provide a choice of alternative AH routes from an origin to a destination across several countries;
(b) Provide freight forwarders with an opportunity of immediate assessment of any A route for possible transport of any type (ISO and Non-ISO) of containers as well as for transport of heavy loads;
(c) Identity major problems of AH development, such as section(s) below minimum recommended AH standard, carriageway width, pavement type, river ferry/missing links, bridge and tunnel clearances;
(d) Strengthen the position of a country in obtaining financial support from a donor for road improvement projects due to the fact that any major AH problem identified at the national level will constitute a problem area of a whole international route;
(e) Function as an information source for planners and engineers as well as an effective tool for donors and banks to assess AH conditions in the countries along the AH routes;
(f) Identify AH routes and sections requiring major upgrading/improvement.
