System of entire costs of Maintenance Management System of the Roads (whole life costing system) (VSS1999/129)
Overview
Background & policy context:
The construction works of the road network have a lifespan of about 30 to 50 years on average. Depending on the strain should annually about 2-3% of their new value be used for their preservation, so that their substance does not suffer any losses. These funds are not usually to the administrations fully available, so there are more and more value losses. This has, inter alia, negative impact on the efficiency of the systems, but also for road safety of the road network.
The concept of management of road maintenance (MSE), under which the financial resources available are to use as effective as possible, may help to reduce substantially the loss in value of investments (in many cases even minimized).
Objectives:
The objective of the project is to set the basis for economic comparison of alternative solution by planning the optimal strategies or measures.
Further objective is to determine a systematic to group the whole life cost of RMMS components, such as Pavement, Bridge and Equipment t Management Systems.
