• Abstract:
  The life cycle cost analysis program (LCCA) is designed to automate and standardize life cycle costing in Virginia. It allows the user to input information necessary for the analysis, and it then completes the calculations and produces a printed copy of the results. The program requires the user to input site-specific information as well as the initial costs for each alternative. It calculates user costs automatically and reduces all costs to their present value. It is these present value costs that are used in the final ranking of alternatives. Although this program is not as sophisticated as some of the software currently in use, it is a step toward the completion of life cycle costing in Virginia's pavement management system. LCCA should be regarded as another tool in the pavement management decision-making process.
