ENERGY AND TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS

The objective of the study was to upgrade the publication titled, Energy and Transportation Systems. The most recent data for establishing factors for calculating direct and indirect energy usage on a highway improvement project were incorporated into a new report. Energy analysis and updated factors are discussed separately for recycling asphalt-concrete pavements and for light-rail sytems. A new criterion for impact was developed and life-cycle costing is discussed. The computer program for performing an energy analysis on a highway project has been expanded and improved.
