Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of the current cost allocation study, the fifth in a series begun in 1982, include the following: 1) to evaluate current cost allocation methodologies and identify possible changes to Kentucky practices; and 2) to determine the 1991 fiscal year levels of cost responsibility and revenue contribution for each of several classes of highway users. Additional objectives include an evaluation of the equity of tax proposals advanced by the Kentucky Motor Transport Association, a preliminary determination of the revenue and cost implications of the Extended-Weight Coal Haul System, and an evaluation of the efficiency with which certain highway user taxes have been collected. As was the case in other recent cost-allocation studies, incremental cost assignment has been replaced with various highway use measures including vehicle-miles of travel, axle-miles, passenger-car-equivalent miles, and equivalent-single-axle-load miles. Results from the analysis indicate that cost responsibility was borne most heavily by passenger cars and motorcycles (44.2%). Other cost responsibilities were 24.6% for heavy trucks; 20.4% for pickups and vans; and 10.8% for all other groups. When compared to revenue for each vehicle class; cars, pickups and vans, and heavy trucks exceeded their cost responsibility, while medium trucks fell significantly short. From a limited examination of the Extended-Weight Coal Haul System, it was found that an estimated $2 million are lost annually from the Road Fund because fewer trucks are registered. Heavier weights of coal-decal trucks add approximately $9 million annually to pavement overlay costs. Related to tax collection, it was found that the weight-distance tax was collected at an efficiency of about 70% and other user-reported fuel taxes in the range of 75 to 77%.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A critical role of pavement management is to provide decision makers with estimates of the required budget level to achieve specific steady-state network conditions, and to recommend the best allocation of available budget among competing needs for maintenance, rehabilitation, and repair (MR&R) projects or among different networks such as among Districts. This research study developed a model/procedure that uses the current state of the network and a specified future target state, condition deterioration trends (based on the MR&R treatments received) expressed as Markov condition transition matrices, and the unit cost of treatments, to determine the minimum total cost required and the corresponding treatment policy to achieve the desired target state of the network. The model can also determine the best network condition state achievable (and the corresponding treatment policy) with a given budget. The corresponding optimization problems with the objective of either minimizing total cost or maximizing overall network condition are formulated as linear programming problems, so that they can be solved very efficiently. The network level optimization model provides a valuable tool to ODOT decision makers to determine the required network budget and optimal budget allocations.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of Highway Cost Allocation (HCA) is to distribute or allocate in a fair and rational manner the cost of a transportation facility (either a highway or bridge) among all vehicle classes using it. The purpose of this dissertation is to study and enhance a model, known as the least-core model, to include both pavement thickness and traffic capacity requirements for all coalitions formed with a given group of vehicle classes. Considering vehicle classes as players and groups of vehicle classes as coalitions, it is possible to quantify the thickness and width of pavement needed to accommodate the vehicle classes in a coalition. Typically, thickness of the pavement depends upon the traffic load, which is measured in 18,000 lb. Equivalent Single Axle Load (ESAL). Additionally, the width of the pavement is measured in terms of traffic lanes. The cost of the grand coalition (including all players) is allocated using a linear programming (LP) model with constraints defining set of allocations belonging to the core that represent three properties of completeness, marginality and rationality. The right hand side of the LP model is determined for a given coalition with known traffic load (ESAL) and traffic capacity requirements (lanes). The least-core model maximizes the lower bound on savings experienced by all vehicle classes as a result of joining the grand coalition. The resulting optimal solution can be a unique allocation or multiple allocations. If the optimal basic feasible solution is unique, it is known as the nucleolus. Otherwise, the nucleolus is the average of all optimal basic feasible solutions. Since enumeration of all optimal basic feasible solutions is considered inefficient, an existing algorithm -referred to in the literature as the sequential LP approach- is adapted to the HCA problem. The procedure converges to the nucleolus by solving a sequence of LP models using well-known complementary slackness conditions. Finally, necessary conditions are identified for a special case of the least-core model to occur, wherein a closed-form solution can be used to obtain the nucleolus.
