Projects of grade-separated intersection have been implemented to contribute to regenerating major cities, observing the agreements between Ministry of Construction and Ministry of Transport (1969). But the evaluation systems have some issues. Effects by taking off level crossings like time-savings are evaluated quantitatively, but effects concerning railway passengers and railway companies are neglected. Besides Environments, reconnection of areas separated by railways, unique effects of grade-separated intersection, are not reflected in the evaluation items. This study develops comprehensive evaluation systems which can be considered to be logical and enhance the transparency of evaluation processes. Then it verifies practical effectiveness of a case-study, a project of JR line in Sendai-city.
