Book Synopsis Direct User-charging of Commercial Vehicles for Infrastructure Cost Recovery by : Alison Jane Conway
Download or read book Direct User-charging of Commercial Vehicles for Infrastructure Cost Recovery written by Alison Jane Conway and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research is to provide a theoretical framework for future commercial vehicle user-charging using real-time vehicle weight and configuration information collected using weigh-in-motion (WIM) systems. This work provides an extensive review of both mechanisms and technologies employed for commercial and passenger vehicle user-charging worldwide. Existing commercial vehicle-user charging structures use only broad vehicle classifications to distinguish between vehicles for the pricing of user-fees. The methodology proposed in this study employs highway cost allocation methods for development of an "Axle-Load" toll structure. A theoretical case study, based on information from Texas State Highway 130, is performed to explore the equity improvements that could be achieved through implementation of this proposed structure. Some sensitivity analysis is also performed to examine the potential revenue impacts due to uncertainties in different data inputs under existing and proposed structures.

Book Synopsis Surface Freight Transportation by : Phillip Herr
Download or read book Surface Freight Transportation written by Phillip Herr and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Road, rail, and waterway freight transportation is vital to the nation's economy. Gov't., tax, regulatory, and infrastructure investment policies can affect the costs that shippers pass on to their customers. If gov't. policy gives one mode a cost advantage over another, then shipping prices and customers' use of freight modes can be distorted, reducing the overall efficiency of the nation's economy. This report: (1) describes how gov't. policies can affect competition and efficiency within the surface freight transportation sector; (2) determines what is known about the extent to which all costs are borne by surface freight customers; and (3) discusses the use of the findings when making surface freight transportation policy. Illus. A print on demand report.
Book Synopsis Technologies and Approaches to Reducing the Fuel Consumption of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles by : National Research Council
Download or read book Technologies and Approaches to Reducing the Fuel Consumption of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-07-30 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technologies and Approaches to Reducing the Fuel Consumption of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles evaluates various technologies and methods that could improve the fuel economy of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, such as tractor-trailers, transit buses, and work trucks. The book also recommends approaches that federal agencies could use to regulate these vehicles' fuel consumption. Currently there are no fuel consumption standards for such vehicles, which account for about 26 percent of the transportation fuel used in the U.S. The miles-per-gallon measure used to regulate the fuel economy of passenger cars. is not appropriate for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, which are designed above all to carry loads efficiently. Instead, any regulation of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles should use a metric that reflects the efficiency with which a vehicle moves goods or passengers, such as gallons per ton-mile, a unit that reflects the amount of fuel a vehicle would use to carry a ton of goods one mile. This is called load-specific fuel consumption (LSFC). The book estimates the improvements that various technologies could achieve over the next decade in seven vehicle types. For example, using advanced diesel engines in tractor-trailers could lower their fuel consumption by up to 20 percent by 2020, and improved aerodynamics could yield an 11 percent reduction. Hybrid powertrains could lower the fuel consumption of vehicles that stop frequently, such as garbage trucks and transit buses, by as much 35 percent in the same time frame.
Book Synopsis Longer Combination Trucks by : U S Government Accountability Office (G
Download or read book Longer Combination Trucks written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO reviewed the economic and safety impacts of expanding longer combination vehicles (LCV) operations, focusing on: (1) LCV effects on highway infrastructure; (2) the potential benefits from and industry's use of LCV; and (3) LCV safety concerns. GAO found that: (1) expanding LCV use could increase highway maintenance and construction costs by up to $18 billion; (2) infrastructure changes needed due to expanded LCV use include bridge replacements, interchange improvements, and staging areas for LCV assembly; (3) infrastructure costs could be reduced by limiting LCV expansion to carefully selected routes away from major population areas; (4) expanding LCV use would not divert significant amounts of freight from the railroads; (5) nationwide use of LCV on interstate highways would reduce trucking costs by about 3 percent, which would most benefit large companies that combine small shipments; (6) the use of some types of LCV is not likely to increase because of logistics problems and customer demand; (7) LCV have increased stability problems, slower acceleration when merging into traffic, and lower speeds on grades; and (8) LCV have not been a safety problem in low traffic density areas, but expanding LCV use into more congested areas will require careful analysis, stricter driver qualifications, and better monitoring of LCV operations by state authorities.
Book Synopsis Effects of Overweight Vehicles on New York State DOT Infrastructure by : Michel Ghosn
Download or read book Effects of Overweight Vehicles on New York State DOT Infrastructure written by Michel Ghosn and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report develops a methodology for estimating the effects of different categories of overweight trucks on NYSDOT pavements and bridges. A data mining algorithm is used to categorize truck data collected at several Weigh-In-Motion stations around the state of New York based on the trucks’ adherence to the state’s legal weight limits. The data indicate that about 11% of the trucks traveling on New York highways may be carrying divisible load permits, 1% may be carrying special hauling permits, while about 6% may be illegally overweight. The analysis shows that these overweight trucks are increasing the risk to failure of bridges by causing stresses above those specified in design specifications and by reducing bridge service (fatigue) lives through repetitive overloading. A monetization of the safety margin utilization due to the combined overstress and cyclic fatigue shows that trucks carrying divisible load permits may be responsible for $50M per year in NYS bridge infrastructure cost, trucks with special hauling permits may be responsible for $2M/yr in additional cost while illegally overweight trucks may be responsible for $43M per year for a total of $95M/yr. The cost allocation study performed on the NYS pavement network shows that the cost to NYS pavements due to overweight trucks is about $145M/yr divided into $78M/yr for divisible load permits, $7M/yr for special hauling permits and $60M/yr for illegally overweight trucks.

Book Synopsis Valuation of Temporary Transportation Facility Use Losses by : Jeffrey T. Ryan
Download or read book Valuation of Temporary Transportation Facility Use Losses written by Jeffrey T. Ryan and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Short term, temporary events and activities such as construction or maintenance, infrastructure damage repair, overheight/overwidth vehicle movements, vehicular crashes, hazardous spills, etc. impair facility performance by fully or partially reducing the roadway capacity. Expressed in terms of delay, the impact of these temporary facility use losses has been extensively investigated and well documented. Lacking is a comprehensive examination of how these impacts are valued in monetary terms and how, if at all, these associated costs are recovered by facility owners. The intent of this investigation was to identify any and all costs associated with temporary facility use losses and determine what, if any, costs are recoverable by facility owners. A review of published literature, national department of transportation survey responses and informational shortcomings discovered through this investigation suggest the following. Traditional costs such as labor (including overhead), equipment and materials are easily justifiable and are commonly collected though not consistently across activities or public agency divisions. Cost recovery for motoring public delay costs is most frequently addressed in the context of delay prevention rather than delay recovery. Incentives and consequent penalties for delay prevention are included in innovative construction contracts as a means to reduce impacts from public agency initiated road work. Capturing delay costs in a true recovery context (i.e., following the occurrence of a vehicular incident) would require definition of a uniform unit cost for delay, which to date has been challenged. Beyond the tangible costs currently being recovered from utility related activities (i.e., resultant road work, permits, inspections, etc.), there is little opportunity to recover motoring public delay costs attributable to their activities. Given these findings, recommended opportunities for improved cost recovery for temporary transportation facility use loss should focus on (1) more widespread and uniform capture of traditional and defensible costs including labor and overhead, equipment and materials and (2) continued and increased use of innovative construction contracting methods that provide incentives for prevention of unnecessary motoring public delay.
