2012 – USA - Estimating the Effects of Pavement Condition on Vehicle Operating Costs

NHCRP 720. This report presents models for estimating the effects of pavement condition on vehicle operating costs. These models address fuel consumption, tire wear, and repair and maintenance costs and are presented as computational software on the accompanying CD-ROM

to facilitate use. The material contained in the report should be of immediate interest to state pavement, construction, and maintenance engineers; vehicle fleet managers; and those involved in pavement-investment decision processes and financial aspects of highway transportation.
