• Abstract:
  This brief summarizes an evaluation of the Enhanced Prediction of Vehicle Fuel Economy and Other Vehicle Operating Costs (VOC) research project. The research project sought to update existing VOC equations used by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in the Highway Economic Requirements System (HERS) model. The purpose of the evaluation was to assess the VOC research’s short-term outcomes, including potential users’ early interest in, and application of, the VOC models and the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) staff and contractors’ internal responses to the updated VOC models. The evaluation also sought to identify lessons learned during the research project that could benefit similar projects in the future.
