A Model to Evaluate Roadway Concessions in Brazil
This paper describes the construction and application of a model to evaluate roadway concessions. The model is based on the perception of users and experts about physical aspects of roads and services provided by Brazilian concessionaires. Information was gathered from previous studies, interviews with road users, and focus groups with experts. The paper describes the conceptual stages of the model, presents a field application, and discusses the results generated for one case study. The model allows a dynamic monitoring program of the conditions of roads, road segments, and entire concessions, considering the individual or joint perception of users and experts. The model is transferable to other scenarios where it is important to have a tool to help the negotiation process between public and private sectors concerning new roadway investments by the concessionaires.
