3
3 Project Appraisal Concerned with the economic justification of a project defined by other means. Project types New construction, upgrading Reconstruction, resealing Widening, lane addition Economic indicators Net Present Value (NPV) Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
4
4 Gravel Road with 300 AADT Current Policy (Without Project) - Routine maintenance - Gravel resurfacing when thickness of gravel is less than 50mm - Grading every 182 days Proposed Project (With Project) - Upgrade the road to a paved standard - After upgrading, routine maintenance, patching 100% of the potholes, and resealing when damaged area > 20% Paving a Gravel Road Two Project Alternatives

7 Net Economic Benefits
8
8 Project Formulation Concerned with the economic comparison of project alternatives to better define the project. Compares many project alternatives, e.g. Surface Types Surface Thicknesses Geometric standards Timing of intervention Compares alternatives in terms of net benefits and agency costs (economic efficiency frontier graph)

10 Which is the optimal alternative? Economic Efficiency Frontier
11
11 Maintenance Policy Optimization Concerned with finding an optimal maintenance policy and funding for a given road class. User defines road classes in terms of condition and traffic A series of condition responsive road works are evaluated The alternative with highest NPV is identified along with the recurrent and capital resources needed to implement the alternative
12
12 A Paved Road in Fair Condition - Reconstruction when roughness > 8.0 IRI - 40 mm overlay when roughness > 3.0 IRI Asphalt Road Maintenance - All include routine maintenance and patching 100% of potholes - 40 mm overlay when roughness > 4.0 IRI - 40 mm overlay when roughness > 5.0 IRI - 80 mm overlay when roughness > 3.0 IRI - 80 mm overlay when roughness > 4.0 IRI - 80 mm overlay when roughness > 5.0 IRI - 25 mm reseal when damaged area > 10% - 25 mm reseal when damaged area > 20% - 25 mm reseal when damaged area > 30%

15
15 Road Works Programming Objective: prioritise candidate road projects in each year within annual budget constraint Annual budgets obtained from strategic maintenance plan Concerned with the preparation of single or multi- year road work and expenditure programmes under specified budget constraints.
16
16 Procedure Use specified standards to screen network & identify candidate projects, e.g. road sections which exceed specified condition roads with inadequate capacity pavements which need strengthening upgrade pavements with high traffic volumes Determine maintenance or improvement options Specify budget limits & periods Optimise using selected objective Produce optimal list of projects for budget period

17 Evaluation of Road Sections Homogeneous Road Sections Good Condition Roads - Reseal 25 mm in 2006 - Reseal 25 mm in 2007 - Reseal 25 mm in 2008 - Reseal 25 mm in 2009 Fair Condition Roads - Overlay 40 mm in 2006 - Overlay 40 mm in 2007 - Overlay 40 mm in 2008 - Overlay 40 mm in 2009 - Overlay 80 mm in 2006 - Overlay 80 mm in 2007 - Overlay 80 mm in 2008 - Overlay 80 mm in 2009 Poor Condition Roads - Overlay 80 mm in 2006 - Overlay 80 mm in 2007 - Overlay 80 mm in 2008 - Overlay 80 mm in 2009 - Overlay 100 mm in 2006 - Overlay 100 mm in 2007 - Overlay 100 mm in 2008 - Overlay 100 mm in 2009

21 Network Strategy Analysis Objectives: Determine budget allocations for road maintenance and improvement Prepare for work programmes Determine long term network performance Assess impact on road users Concerned with the analysis of entire road networks to determine funding needs and/or to predict future performance under budget constraints
22
22 Strategic Planning Forecast scenarios of revenues & available budget Assess current condition of assets Forecast traffic demands (from road network plan) Evaluate impact of strategies on performance and costs - using predictive model Optimize strategies under alternative budget scenarios - maximize NPV for each scenario Determine multi-year program allocations & performance
