• Abstract:
  Life Cycle Planning (LCP) is “a process to estimate the cost of managing an asset class, or asset sub-group, over its whole life with consideration for minimizing cost while preserving or improving the condition (23 CFR Part 515).” Since LCP is a relatively new process for State DOTs, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) developed a handbook on LCP to assist transportation agencies with the implementation process (FHWA-HIF-29-006). To further assist agencies with the implementation of LCP, the FHWA initiated a pilot study to demonstrate and document the application of LCP principles on a pavement network using actual data from a State transportation agency. This report documents the findings from the pilot study and lays out a process for considering the many factors that impact long-term asset performance.
