Life cycle cost analysis of asphalt and concrete pavements
This report describes a life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) for road pavements and evaluates its impact on pavement type choice. Working from literature, historical data and interviews, the LCCA technique is described and an overview of the road and street system in Iceland is presented. The LCCA …

Effect of pavement surface properties on life cycle cost analysis
Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) is one of the most well established methods used in determining the best alternative pavement project. The two main pillars of LCCA are user costs and agency costs. User costs are incurred during normal transportation operation and when there is a work zone present. …

Incorporating uncertainty in the Life Cycle Cost Analysis of pavements
Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) is an important tool to evaluate the economic performance of alternative investments for a given project. It considers the total cost to construct, maintain, and operate a pavement over its expected life-time. Inevitably, input parameters in an LCCA are subject to a …

A more comprehensive life cycle cost analysis of pavement materials alternatives
Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) is a commonly used tool in analyzing the economic viability of highway construction investments. The initial and life-cycle materials costs associated with highway construction involve a high level of uncertainty and therefore warrant extensive and dynamic cost …

Addressing the Reliability and Life Cycle Cost Analysis Problem for Technology and System Developers Early in the DoD System Development Process
… on the attributable Operating and Support (O&S) cost of the system. Early understanding of the reliability implications of potential technologies on system O&S cost will help make better informed decisions early in the system development timeline, prior to points of design lock-in. Using a Marine …

Operations and maintenance cost for new major U.S. Coast Guard platforms: projected versus actual costs.
… U.S. Coast Guard cutters and aircraft as part of life cycle cost analysis prior to acquisition. The HU-25A medium range search aircraft and HH-65A short range recovery aircraft were used along with the 270 foot medium endurance cutter and the 110 foot patrol boat. A regression method of estimating …
