Abstract:
The extent to which road users pay, through user fees, the full cost of the infrastructure and services they consume has been an issue for several decades. In contrast to most previous studies, a recent American Petroleum Institute (API) report concludes that payments by road users exceed direct government road expenditures by 50 percent. The API study points out that conventional accounts of road finance data report only revenues used for highways, thereby excluding funds from other automobile-related transactions (such as vehicle sales taxes) that are not specifically spent on roads.

Abstract:
This study delves into quantifying the adverse effects of road damage on users, particularly focusing on the increased travel time and consequent financial burdens stemming from delayed repairs. Utilizing a comparative method, the research underscores notable reductions in speed and prolonged travel times due to damaged roads, leading to substantial economic losses for road users. To streamline the estimation of road user costs (RUC), the study proposes a simulation model that incorporates varying traffic volumes and repair delays. This model demonstrates a high level of accuracy in estimating

Abstract:
At the end of the build-operate-transfer road concession period, an optimal model for the operation of public toll roads is created based on user heterogeneity regarding the values of time for different road users. The impact of user heterogeneity on operation costs for government and private firms is subsequently analyzed on the following critical variables: user values of time, road volume/capacity ratio, and road capacity. Concerning the values of time for different road users, the mean residual and failure functions are established to describe three optimization hypotheses: maximization of

When a pipeline is installed under flexible pavement structures using open excavation and fill methods, the excavation can result in premature pavement deterioration due to difficulties associated with trench site restoration and soil and asphalt compaction. In developed areas, trenchless construction methods have become a popular alternative to open trench excavation because of reduced surface disruptions and reinstatement costs, a shorter construction period, and significantly reduced traffic delay costs associated with construction by saving time in construction operations.

As an infrastructure project, the cost and benefits of road maintenance should be measured through social costs. In order to fully consider user interests and make road maintenance decisions more reasonable, two types of user costs that may affect road maintenance benefits have been quantified through analysis of existing literature. At the same time, environmental issues have gradually become the focus of various industries, and in optimizing road maintenance decisions, the impact of environmental issues on decision making should also be considered.

The monetary quantification of inconveniences caused to the road users by ongoing construction activities is known as the Road Users Costs (RUCs). While the importance of RUCs is widely known, some highway agencies lack an appropriate methodology to compute RUCs. Thus, there is a need to develop a framework to compute RUCs that can be adopted quickly by highway agencies. This study reviewed existing literature and conducted a nationwide survey to identify and summarize the current practices of computing RUCs. It developed an enhanced framework and tool to compute RUCs that balances the effort

Abstract:
While regular maintenance of roads and bridges are essential to ensure a high level of service for road users, road users typically do not prefer having to drive through a construction zone because of the lower speed and increased possibilities of crashes. These road user inconveniences are typically ignored or not given much weight while planning, developing, and awarding construction and maintenance projects. Typically, a contractor with the lowest bid is awarded a construction project irrespective of whether the project will be completed in a shorter or longer duration if the duration is wi

Urban traffic congestion is recognised as a major problem by most people in world cities. However, the implementation of congestion reducing measures on a wide scale eludes most world cities suffering from traffic congestion, as many oppose the notion of road pricing and despite economists and transportation professionals having advocated its benefits for a number of decades. The effects of road pricing have attracted considerable attention from researchers examining its effects, as it is thought to hold the key in understanding and overcoming some inherent obstacles to implementation.

Abstract:
Globalisation and our fast-paced world have opened up new horizons all over the world. Population growth, rising energy prices and their declining nature are creating problems for transport. Road congestion, drastic increases in journey times and rising travel costs have highlighted the importance of improving public transport. However, for public transport to be attractive, it is essential that the transport alternative itself is fast, comfortable and modern. In this paper, we examine two metro construction projects in cities with high populations from a project management perspective, with a

Full text
Abstract:
Accelerated bridge construction (ABC) methods have been increasingly used in recent years to reduce the impact of construction operations on traffic and mobility. ABC methods, however, often require a higher initial cost, more planning, and additional design coordination. Several tools have been developed to assist decision-makers in the selection of conventional staged construction or ABC methods based on bridge characteristics and requirements. Most of these existing tools, however, are qualitative and depend on the subjective opinion of decision-makers/experts. Accordingly, there is a need

Abstract:
This study used data from the 2017 National Household Travel Survey California Add-On sample to explore how replacing the current state vehicle fuel tax with a flat-per-mile-rate road-user charge (RUC) would affect costs for different kinds of households. We first estimated how household vehicle fuel efficiency, mileage, and fuel tax expenditures vary by geography (rural vs. urban) and by income. These findings were then used to estimate how much different types of households pay in the current per-gallon state fuel tax, what they would pay if the state were to replace fuel taxes with a flat-r

Abstract:
The direct benefits of transport projects are well known; paving roads reduces vehicular operating costs, mass transport systems reduce commuting times and road maintenance prolongs their operating lifespan. Impact evaluation reveals a range of ways in which transport projects improve lives. The empirical evidence shows that paved roads encourage preventive healthcare and increase employment opportunities, mass transport systems improve air quality and reduce crime, and satisfaction of road maintenance increases when services are provided by local communities.Impact evaluations generate valuab

Abstract:
The use of recycled plastic waste in road construction encourages environmentally friendly infrastructure and promotes a circular economy by converting plastic waste into low-cost construction materials. Utilizing recycled plastics can enhance the performance and durability of roads, especially in hot climates, addressing climate adaptation and mitigation needs. This publication focuses on Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, to foster a cultural shift toward reusing and recycling rather than relying on landfills, a critical issue in Pacific island countries.

Abstract:
Crashes related to barrier end treatments and impact attenuators generally have higher severity levels than those colliding with barrier faces. To select the most effective end treatments, the in-service safety evaluation of such end treatments under various operational conditions was needed. This study linked 7 years of crash records with the corresponding end treatments using inventory from the Indiana Road Network Dataset. Factors affecting crash severity, including speed, weather, roadway features, and vehicle types, were extracted and integrated with crashes in the modeling sample. Both r
