      <title>Qualitative Assessment of Risk on Large Projects</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/761898</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper focuses on budget and schedule, which are two areas of risk on large capital projects, and discusses those risks qualitatively. Qualitative risk management focuses on the human element and its potential impact on the project. The project leader is the person with the most impact on qualitative risk, because the leader determines the project's culture and makes time management and cost management decisions. The author gives advice for successful project leadership.]]></description>

      <title>CONTINUOUS MEASUREMENT AND CONTROL OF THE SPEED OF WAGONS SHUNTED OVER HUMPS. COSTS OF THE VARIOUS SYSTEMS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/15118</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The report contains a calculation of the costs of automatic hump yards, incurred for the following systems:  (a) DB system with primary and secondary retarders and conveyor devices; (b) SNCF system with primary and secondary retarders; (c) BR system with hydraulic retarding and boosting units.  The cost calculation according to uniform standards is based on the installations described in Report D 74/RP 4 with 32 and 48 sorting sidings and it covers: (a) The cost of investments, (b) Capital charges, (c) Operating cost.  For each installation the total costs and the specific total costs relative to one shunted wagon are indicated.  A comparative assessment of the various systems according to the cost involved is rather problematic on account of the divergent economic conditions.  The indicated details can only be used as informatory for special investigations.]]></description>

      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/44577</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This program produces an Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement, and various financial and operating ratios for five one-year periods with the first year shown by quarters.  It is operable in a time-sharing environment only.  Deterministic in nature, the program requires substantial initial data from the user, after which be may make data changes by means of a simple conversation mode. Technical highlights are the internal handling of long-term and short-term debt, financial charges, capital investments, depreciation (ICC and IRS) and state and federal taxes.]]></description>

      <title>PROSPECTIVE COSTS OF CAPITAL IN THE NORTHEAST CORRIDOR</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/17692</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The objective of the report is to present the initial results of a study on prospective costs of capital for Northeast Corridor transportation systems.  The first chapters discuss assumptions and methods used, including the construction use, and outlook of funds through 1980, along with flow-of-funds analysis and influence on interest rate differentials.  One chapter presents methods for predicting interest rates.  Another chapter surveys six major econometric models of the United States which are currently operational  The survey focuses on the financial sections of the models.  A survey of debt instruments, the financial position of the major carriers in the NEC, and the revenue, expenditures and borrowing needs of the state and local governments in the NEC area are covered.
