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 …

Product development timing and cost analysis using information flow modeling
… and (2) provides the average completion time and cost of the development effort for a given degree of concurrency and task sequencing. These results then provide the basis for determining the appropriate task sequence and degree of concurrency to minimize development time and cost. The model was …
