Abstract

This report presents models for estimating the effects of pavement condition on vehicle operating costs. The models address fuel consumption, tire wear, and repair and maintenance costs and are presented as computational software that is included in the print version of the report in a CD-ROM format. The CD-ROM is also available for download from TRB’s website as an ISO image. Appendixes A through D to the report provide further elaboration on the work performed in the project that developed NCHRP Report 720. The appendixes, which were not included with the print version of the report, are only available for download through the internet at http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/nchrp/nchrp_rpt_720Appendixes.pdf, i.e. Appendix A: Fuel consumption models; • Appendix B: Tire wear models; • Appendix C: Repair and maintenance models; and • Appendix D: An overview of emerging technologies. (Author/publisher) This report, and its appendices, is available online at http://www.trb.org/Publications/Blurbs/166904.aspx
