Abstract

Life-cycle cost analysis is essential to allocate a budget for maintenance and rehabilitation effectively. In order to estimate life-cycle costs properly, road administrators should consider not only administration costs, but also road user costs and social costs. This study mentioned appropriate life-cycle cost components, modifying FHWA's “Life-Cycle Cost Analysis in Pavement Design” to be able to compute work zone user cost using data and information collected in Japan, and computing life-cycle cost in site. This study concludes that “Traffic Volume Integration Curve” easily calculates number of vehicles affected in work zone and queue time, and queue delay cost must be considered.
