Overview
Background & policy context:
The systematic planning of interventions is a central and crucial process within the management of road maintenance. It determines the type and time of interventions to be performed
in order to attain the best benefit-cost ratio. The foundation and instruments to be used for this planning, and the determination of the optimal interventions, is provided for Switzerland
by the individual projects in research package VSS 2004/710-716.
Objectives:
Establishment of methods and benchmarks for the comprehensive determination of monetary benefits for standard maintenance interventions on roads, for application in the cost-benefit analysis.
Methodology:
Following steps will be provided during the project:
- Evaluating existing effect models
- Correlation analysis of road conditions, maintenance expenses, travel behavior and accident rates on selected national road sections
- Definition and test of KNA-valuation models for defined application examples and conservation measures
- Workshops with the Advisory Group and interested parties
