Various methods are reviewed and analyzed that have been proposed for evaluating time savings that accrue to highway vehicles. A cost savings approach was developed to the determination of values of time savings and is applied to a composite cargo vehicle, a composite intercity bus, and a number of cargo vehicle types. The methods used to estimate the value of time savings are' /1/ revenue /net operating profit/ method, /2/ cost savings method, /3/ cost-of-time method, /4/ willingness-to-pay method. The revenue method and the cost savings method were studied. A table is presented of time savings per hour for composite vehicles by icc regions.
