  1. HDM-4 Applications

  2. HDM-4 Applications • Project Appraisal • Project Formulation • Maintenance Policy Optimization • Road Works Programming • Network Strategic Analysis • Standards & Policies 2

  3. Project Appraisal • Project types • New construction, upgrading • Reconstruction, resealing • Widening, lane addition • Economic indicators • Net Present Value (NPV) • Internal Rate of Return (IRR) Concerned with the economic justification of a project defined by other means. 3

  4. Paving a Gravel Road Current Policy (Without Project) - Gravel resurfacing when thickness of gravel is less than 50mm - Routine maintenance - Grading every 182 days Gravel Road with300 AADT Proposed Project (With Project) - Upgrade the road to a paved standard - After upgrading, routine maintenance, patching 100% of the potholes, and resealing when damaged area > 20% Two Project Alternatives 4

  5. Roughness Progression 5

  6. Comparison of Alternatives • Evaluation Period = 20 years • Discount rate = 12.00 % ---- Present Values ---------------- Internal Construction & Road Net Rate ofLength Maintenance User Total Present Return(km) Alt. Costs Costs Costs Value (%) 10.0 Without 0.18 5.10 5.28 With 1.75 3.10 4.85 0.43 15.5 Is the project economically justified? 6

  7. Net Economic Benefits 7

  8. Project Formulation • Compares many project alternatives, e.g. • Surface Types • Surface Thicknesses • Geometric standards • Timing of intervention • Compares alternatives in terms of net benefits and agency costs (economic efficiency frontier graph) Concerned with the economic comparison of project alternatives to better define the project. 8

  9. Optimal Timing for Paving - Regravel and grading every 182 days - Upgrade in 2006 - Upgrade in 2007 Gravel Road with300 AADT - Upgrade in 2008 - Upgrade in 2009 Many Project Alternatives 9

  10. Economic Efficiency Frontier Which is the optimal alternative? 10

  11. Maintenance Policy Optimization • User defines road classes in terms of condition and traffic • A series of condition responsive road works are evaluated • The alternative with highest NPV is identified along with the recurrent and capital resources needed to implement the alternative Concerned with finding an optimal maintenance policy and funding for a given road class. 11

  12. Asphalt Road Maintenance - Reconstruction when roughness > 8.0 IRI - 25 mm reseal when damaged area > 10% - 25 mm reseal when damaged area > 20% - 25 mm reseal when damaged area > 30% - 40 mm overlay when roughness > 3.0 IRI A Paved Roadin Fair Condition - 40 mm overlay when roughness > 4.0 IRI - 40 mm overlay when roughness > 5.0 IRI - 80 mm overlay when roughness > 3.0 IRI - 80 mm overlay when roughness > 4.0 IRI - 80 mm overlay when roughness > 5.0 IRI - All include routine maintenance and patching 100% of potholes 12

  14. Economic Efficiency Frontier Which is the optimal maintenance policy? 14

  15. Road Works Programming • Objective: prioritise candidate road projects in each year within annual budget constraint • Annual budgets obtained from strategic maintenance plan Concerned with the preparation of single or multi-year road work and expenditure programmes under specified budget constraints. 15

  16. Procedure • Use specified standards to screen network & identify candidate projects, e.g. • road sections which exceed specified condition • roads with inadequate capacity • pavements which need strengthening • upgrade pavements with high traffic volumes • Determine maintenance or improvement options • Specify budget limits & periods • Optimise using selected objective • Produce optimal list of projects for budget period 16

  17. Evaluation of Road Sections Good Condition Roads- Reseal 25 mm in 2006- Reseal 25 mm in 2007- Reseal 25 mm in 2008- Reseal 25 mm in 2009 Homogeneous Road Sections • Fair Condition Roads- Overlay 40 mm in 2006- Overlay 40 mm in 2007- Overlay 40 mm in 2008- Overlay 40 mm in 2009- Overlay 80 mm in 2006- Overlay 80 mm in 2007- Overlay 80 mm in 2008- Overlay 80 mm in 2009 • Poor Condition Roads- Overlay 80 mm in 2006- Overlay 80 mm in 2007- Overlay 80 mm in 2008- Overlay 80 mm in 2009- Overlay 100 mm in 2006- Overlay 100 mm in 2007- Overlay 100 mm in 2008- Overlay 100 mm in 2009 17

  21. Network Strategy Analysis • Objectives: • Determine budget allocations for road maintenance and improvement • Prepare for work programmes • Determine long term network performance • Assess impact on road users Concerned with the analysis of entire road networks to determine funding needs and/or to predict future performance under budget constraints 21

  22. Strategic Planning • Forecast scenarios of revenues & available budget • Assess current condition of assets • Forecast traffic demands (from road network plan) • Evaluate impact of strategies on performance and costs - using predictive model • Optimize strategies under alternative budget scenarios - maximize NPV for each scenario • Determine multi-year program allocations & performance 22

  37. Standards & Policies • Road pricing • road use costs (to define fuel levies) • congestion charges • weight-distance charges • Vehicle regulations • axle load limits • energy consumption, vehicle emissions & noise • Engineering Standards • sustainable road network size • pavement design and maintenance standards Concerned with specific studies designed to define rational technical standards and vehicle policies 37
