Abstract:The Texas A&M Transportation Institute undertook an economic analysis to compare the costs of
maintaining a typical Texas low-volume road in an energy-impacted area in its current state versus widening
and maintaining the road; converting it to an improved, emulsified asphalt surface (IEAS); or rehabilitating
the low-volume road for short-term oil/gas field traffic. For each option, three different cost scenarios were
considered. For each cost scenario, the analysis shows that converting the road to an IEAS is the lowest-cost
alternative among the four options considered.
