  • Local Labour Market Effects of Transport Investments
    TØI report 1057/2010 Author(s): Øystein Engebretsen, Anne Gjerdåker Oslo 2010, 105 pages Norwegian language Summary: Local labour market effects of transport investments Improvements in infrastructure may facilitate commuting between neigh- bouring regions, which in turn may stimulate the regional integration of local labour markets. In Norway, the average travel time to work has increased by more than 20 percent since the mid-1980s. The increase in commuting may be interpreted as a regional integration of labour markets, in response to improved accessibility and increased range. The increase has been largest in the peripheral municipalities. Studies of three Norwegian infrastructure investments – the Korgfjell tunnel, the Triangle Link and the main road (Rv5) between Førde and Florø – demonstrate that the investments have led to reductions in travel time and increased commuting. This in turn results in a more varied and effective labour market, providing greater opportunities for employment and economic growth, and a better matching of skills. The regional integration of labour markets may therefore ideally serve three aims: reducing unemploy- ment, improving access to labour, and securing a decentralised settlement structure. The report is based on an empirical analysis of the relationship between invest- ments in transport infrastructure and regional development, exemplified by an analysis of commuting and employment patterns. The analysis draws on a statistical analysis of commuting flows, settlement and employment patterns at a low level of aggregation. The statistical analyses are supplemented by interviews with firms and local authorities in selected case study areas. Together, the two data sources provide insights into the local consequences of specific infrastructure investments.

  • Stability and Water Leakage of Hard Rock Subsea Tunnels
    Stability and water leakage of hard rock subsea tunnels B. Nilsen The Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway A. Palmstrøm Norconsult as, Sandvika, Norway ABSTRACT: The many undersea tunnels along the coast of Norway offer excellent opportunities to study the key factors determining stability and water leakage in hard rock subsea tunnels. About 30 such tunnels have been constructed in Norway the last 20 years, all of them excavated by drill and blast. The longest tunnel is 7.9 km with its deepest point 260 metres below sea level. Although all tunnels are located in Precambrian or Palaeozoic rocks, some of them have encountered complex faulting or less competent rocks like shale and schist. The severe tunnelling problems met in these tunnels emphasise the need of a better understanding of the key factors determining stability and water leakage of such projects. This has been discussed based on the experience from several completed projects. 1 INTRODUCTION 2 CHARACTERISTICS OF SUBSEA TUNNELS In Norway, about 30 subsea tunnels, comprising Compared to conventional tunnels, subsea tunnels more than 100 km have been built the last 20 years. are quite special in several ways. Concerning Most of these are 2 or 3 lane road tunnels, but some engineering geology and rock engineering, the are also for water, sewage, or oil and gas pipelines. following factors are the most important (see also All tunnels so far are drill and blast.

Det var nybrottsarbeid, hvor tunnelbrann ikke ble ansett som styrende for beredskapen. Ulykker inntraff, men det ble ikke de samme hendelsene som man erfarte i Sør-Europa. En brann i Mastrafjordtunnelen i 2006 kunne fått fatale følger, men heldigvis klarte Kystbussen å snu i en havarinisje like før alle ble innhyllet i røyk.

The others are published by the Norwegian Police Security Service (PST), the Norwegian Intelligence Service (NIS) and the Norwegian National Security Authority (NSM). The PST’s primary responsibility is to prevent and investigate crimes against national security. The PST’s annual threat assessment discusses situations, usually in Norway, that could affect Norwegian security and damage national interests in the coming year. These include threats from state actors in the form of foreign intelligence services, their current intelligence targets and the services’ operational patterns in Norway. The assessments also deal with threats from non-state actors, especially threats of politically motivated violence by extremist groups or individuals. The assessments have a time horizon of one year and are published in the first quarter. The NIS’s primary task is to warn of external threats and support the development of Norwegian security, foreign and defence policy. The service publishes an annual assessment of the international situation and foreign threats of significance to Norway and Norwegian interests.

    Summary Vehicle fires in Norwegian road tunnels 2008-2015 TØI Report 1542/2016 Authors: Tor-Olav Nævestad, Karen Ranestad, Beate Elvebakk & Sunniva Meyer Oslo 2016 96 pages Norwegian language Norway is one of the countries that constructs the most road tunnels, and there are well over 1,100 in the country. Road tunnels are usually at least as safe as, or safer than similar roads in the open air, but they have a disaster potential related to vehicle fires. The report maps and describes the characteristics of fires and smoke without fire (SWF) in Norwegian road tunnels in the period 2008-2015. The average number of fires in Norwegian road tunnels is 0.02 fires per year per tunnel kilometres (24 fires per year per 1,134 tunnel kilometres). The average number of SWFs is 0.01 per year per tunnel km (14 SWFs per year per 1,134 tunnel kilometres). The study provides four main results. The first is that the fires and SWFs generally did not involve harm to people or tunnels. Of the 303 fires and instances of SWF, we know that 15 involved minor injury to people, 13 involved serious personal injury and eight involved death. All deaths and 10 of 13 serious personal injuries are related to fires and SWFs caused by traffic accidents. Seven large-scale tunnel fires in the period 2008-2015 caused smoke contamination for a total of 76 people. 92 of the 303 fires involved damage to vehicles and 33 involved damage to tunnels. The second main finding is that heavy vehicles are overrepresented in fires in Norwegian road tunnels.

  • Local Labour Market Effects of Transport Investments: the Case of Two Norwegian Regions
    Local labour market effects of transport investments: The case of two Norwegian regions Anne Gjerdåker and Øystein Engebretsen Institute of transport economics, Oslo, Norway Email: [email protected] Abstract: Improvements in infrastructure may facilitate commuting between neighbouring regions, which in turn may stimulate the regional integration of local labour markets. In Norway, the average travel distance to work has increased by more than 20 percent since the mid-1980s, while the average travel time has remained constant. The increase in commuting may be interpreted as a regional integration of labour markets, in response to improved accessibility and increased range. The increase in travel distances has been largest in the peripheral municipalities. Studies of two Norwegian infrastructure projects demonstrate that these investments have led to reduced travel time and increased commuting. This in turn results in a more varied and effective labour market, providing greater opportunities for employment and economic growth, and a better matching of skills in the labour market. In both cases there has been an increase in commuting flows, although to varying degrees. The variation may be explained by the composition of the industry structure and employment opportunities within the two regions. Increased spatial competition may result in redistributive rather than generative growth, especially with regards to the location of service activities. The paper draws on a statistical analysis of commuting flows, settlement and employment patterns at a low level of aggregation. A detailed analysis of commuting between basic statistical units for the years 2001 and 2007 reveals a commuting pattern that is not discernible when using data at the municipality level.
