A Review of Road User Cost Methods and Methodology
… was designed to review state-of-the-practice road user cost (RUC) calculations, evaluate current SDDOT methodology, propose improvements and implement them in a new analysis worksheet for use by SDDOT. This report includes an extensive literature review and the results of targeted surveys for …

Highway cost-benefit analysis system
In this research, a methodology for computing road user cost for various competing alternatives was developed. Also, a software was developed to calculate the road user cost, perform economic analysis and update cost tables. The methodology is based on the manual entitled "A Manual on User Benefit …

Optimized scheduling of highway work zones
… maintenance work, and minimize the total project cost (i.e., agency cost and road user cost) by optimizing work zone schedules. This dissertation focuses on the maintenance projects on multiple-lane highways. The objective total cost function is formulated while considering a discrete maintenance …

Work Zone Analysis Under Detour Settings
A new approach of work zone delay cost analysis is developed to understand the implications of detours. This method, unlike any of the previous methods, is based on the impacts within the transportation network and let users find the shortest paths which will eventually come to equilibrium. The …

An artificial neural network model for predicting freeway work zone delays with big data
Lane closures due to road reconstruction and maintenance have resulted in a major source of non-recurring congestion on freeways. It is extremely important to accurately quantify the associated mobility impact so that a cost-effective work zone schedule and an efficient traffic management plan can …
