Vehicle Operating, Accident and User Time Costs in Pavement Management Systems: Approach for Portuguese Conditions

This paper presents a description and analysis of the most important models to predict each of the Road User Costs (RUC) components (Vehicle Operating Costs (VOC), Accident Costs (AC) and Value of Time (VOT)) and proposes a model for estimating RUC components suitable to the Portuguese road network. These results are part of a research in progress aimed to obtain a Road User Cost Model to be used as a tool in road management systems. This model is different from other models by the fact that includes a simple formulation that allows calibration and calculation of cost parameters, for any year, in a simple and fast way, providing trustworthy results. The required data is already available in Portuguese institutions, allowing periodic revision of cost parameters to insure accuracy.
