Road-user costs are the largest cost elements in road transport. Improvements in road conditions can yet pay substantial dividends by reducing vehicle operating costs. Expressing vehicle operating costs in relation to road characteristics--geometry and pavement condition--is the logical approach. For certain cost components, especially fuel consumption, the required data can be obtained by controlled experiments. Vehicle maintenance costs utilizing extensive road-user surveys are needed. This volume takes an aggregate-mechanistic view of vehicle speed and operating costs under free flow conditions. Basing their analysis on the mechanistic principles of propulsion and motion as well as on postulated assumptions of driver behavior, the authors arrive at predictions at three levels of detail, ranging from a simulation method for use in detailed geometric design at the link level to an aggregate method for use in investment planning at the sectoral level. The models were estimated using the comprehensive database collected in the Brazil-UNDP-World Bank highway research project and were validated along with data sets from India. One of the significant contributions to highway economics research made in this study is the probabilistic limiting velocity approach to steady-state speed prediction, which, combined with the aggregate-mechanistic methodology, will provide a possible basis for future research on the far more complex problem of operating costs under congested conditions.

This book provides information concerning the costs of transportation on non-urban highways and the relationships between these costs and characteristics of highways such as surface roughness, and vertical and horizontal geometry. The sources of the information presented here are four major road user cost studies performed between 1970 and 1982 in Kenya, the Caribbean, Brazil, and India. In these studies road user costs were investigated in considerable depth. Surveys of commercial road users were performed, surveys on a far larger scale than had been conducted prior to the 1970s. Large scale experiments were undertaken, aimed at determining the fuel consumption of cars, buses and light and heavy goods vehicles under alternative highway conditions, and considerable effort was devoted to obtaining data on vehicle speeds and their responses to highway conditions. The resulting body of knowledge concerning road users' costs is enormous, spanning three continents, diverse highway conditions and radically different economic environments.

Reliable running costs based on field tests of motor vehicles are presented as broken down into the cost categories of fuel, oil, tire wear, maintenance, depreciation, and accident costs. Relationships between the cost categories and highway grades operating speeds, roadway surface, horizontal alignment, and traffic volumes are provided to facilitate the calculation of automobile and truck fuel and tire costs for free-flowing volumes. Included are detailed examples illustrating typical problems that can be solved by use of the information presented. Annotated bibliographies are included on the subjects of motor-vehicle operating costs and on relationships between highway accident costs and highway design.

From 1979 through 1982 the Federal Highway Administration contracted with the Texas Research and Development Foundation to update vehicle operating cost tables. In this research five components of vehicle operating cost were studied, including fuel consumption, maintenance and repair, oil consumption, tire consumption, and depreciation. The approach used in this research was to identify the consumption involved for each of these parameters and then to price these components to obtain vehicle operating costs. This approach allows future updating of the vehicle operating cost tables from simply knowing the changes in prices. This is highly desirable since component consumption changes much less frequently than the unit prices. The results of this research present a new set of table relating vehicle operating costs to the serviceability index of pavements and the geometric design features of the roads. The component consumption tables were established for constant speed and speed change cycle operations.
