From page 26... ... 24 CHAPTER FIVE FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND FUTURE RESEARCH NEEDS The objective of this synthesis project was to develop an inventory of quantitative asset-level, project-level, or corridor-level processes or models for predicting life-cycle costs associated with the preservation and replacement of highway assets, through a literature review, nationwide survey of highway agencies, and case examples that documented specific highway agency experiences with life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) Read the entire page →
From page 27... ... 25 Although the primary applications of LCCA are reported for pavements and bridges, it is important that efforts be made to work with state highway agencies to improve applications of LCCA to these assets. Survey results and interviews with highway agency representatives noted the lack of clarity or use of significant costs within LCCA, meaning that more education, data sources, and information may be needed to accurately apply LCCA to pavements and bridges before agencies can expand its application to ancillary assets.
