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.

About 20% of the Serbian national road network has sections with low volume traffic. These sections are maintained in relatively poor condition since the maintenance budget is typically allocated to the road sections with most traffic. This paper aims to define the appropriate maintenance policy for keeping these sections in “optimal” condition. The traditional approach has been to consider as optimal the condition leading to the minimum sum of road agency costs and road user costs.

Abstract:

Road user costs (RUC) are defined as the estimated incremental daily costs to the traveling public resulting from the construction work being performed. Those costs are primarily time lost because of conditions such as detours/rerouting that add to travel time, reduced roadway capacity that slows travel speed and increases travel time, or a delay in the opening of a new or improved facility that prevents users from gaining travel time benefits. In Texas, RUC analyses and associated liquidated damages have been applied predominantly to high-profile urban freeway reconstruction projects, which a

It is current practice that vehicles are rerouted to the shortest alternative route during bridge closures (the detour approach).

Abstract:

The article presents a complex pavement management system method that utilizes a novel optimization method of rehabilitation plans for individual road sections based on asset value optimization. This method is being implemented and tested by the Slovak Road Administration. The performance-based asset value optimization objectives are Socio-Economic Value and Technical Value of Assets, which breaks down into the Value of Structural Condition and Operational Capacity Value. Life cycle cost analysis is used to find the optimal rehabilitation year of individual road sections to optimize the asset

Abstract:

Abstract A three-dimensional forest road alignment model, TRACER, was developed to assist a forest road designer with rapid evaluation of alternative road paths. The objective is to design a route with the lowest total cost considering construction, maintenance, and transportation costs, while conforming to design specifications, environmental requirements, and driver safety. The model integrates two optimization techniques: a linear programming for earthwork allocation and a heuristic approach for vertical alignment selection. The model enhances user efficiency through automated horizontal an

Abstract:

In transportation systems, road users have diverse preferences when planning their trips and responding to traffic conditions in a large city. Connected vehicles can capture the preferences of individual users for trip planning, leading to improved road performance. However, managing a large number of connected vehicles with differing user preferences in a large city is a daunting task. This paper develops an integrated traffic management system with the consideration of user preferences to optimize the performance of each user. In the system, connected vehicles are introduced to estimate traf

Abstract:

Certain concerns about sustainable transportation derive from the premise that significant atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases which contribute to global warming can be attributed to automotive emissions. Among measures considered to curtail automobile dependency and increase transit modal split, "full cost pricing" → a means of extracting both environmental costs and hidden subsidies which road users allegedly impose on society → has emerged as an increasingly popular suggestion. This paper examines the potential impact of full cost pricing on the "su

Abstract:

A method for studying the expected traffic flow distribution between toll and alternative roads based on user behavior principles is proposed. It is assumed that the user’s behavior is rational: he always chooses the most suitable option. The proposed model takes into account the cost of fuel and lubricants, the time and toll of toll and alternative routes. This means that if the cost of toll and alternative roads is the same, the user will not care which route to choose. By changing the toll for 1 km, it is possible to affect the cost of the “expenses for the toll route&rdquo

Abstract:

When a pavement is flooded, transportation agencies are faced with the decision to leave the road open or close it to traffic. On the one hand, agencies may want to keep the road open and prioritize connectivity if the road serves a critical economic purpose for a region. On the other hand, agencies may choose to close the road to prevent additional structural damage (which may incur significant repair costs) because of high water content in (or even saturation of) the subgrade. Nondestructive testing (NDT) tools such as the falling weight deflectometer (FWD) can be applied to assist decision
