... 26 Understanding the Benefit/Cost Analysis Used in the Online Tool Results This chapter summarizes the methodology behind the benefit/cost results that the online tool produces. There are many ways to measure benefits and costs, including life-cycle costing, cost-effectiveness analysis, and a longevity cost index.

... 28 Pavement Maintenance Guidelines for General Aviation Airport Management Calculation of Treatment Life For benefit/cost data used in the online tool, researchers gathered data on the service life of each treatment and calculated a corrected average treatment life to use in relative benefit calculations. Figure 8 through Figure 11 show a range of results for a pavement's PCI and life span that can be obtained from treatments.
