• Description:
  The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LADOTD) is interested in applying the Federal Highway Administration=s (FHWA) life cycle cost analysis procedures and model to large roadway construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation projects within the state. The purpose of this study was to validate the application of one component of this model-estimation of user delay costs-to projects in Louisiana. The main objective of this research is to determine if the results given for the user delay costs by the FHWA model are sufficiently accurate for use in determining user delay costs for the Louisiana system. A procedure for the study is specified in the body of the report. The study evaluated the delay times incurred by users on interstate highway projects on I-10 in the LaPlace area and I-10 near Lake Charles. The delay times were calculated from the data collected at the site, and compared to the values obtained from the FHWA model.
