DETEMINATION OF HIGHWAY USER TIME LOSS COSTS ACCORDING TO PAVEMENT SERVICEBILITY
Abstract :
Most important mode of transportation is highway in Turkey. After the construction of highways, pavement distresses occur via traffic, climate and environment etc. Except of maintenance activities, rehabilitation activities must be done. Because rehabilitation activities required more cost, it is impossible to interface to all regions to be necessary rehabilitation. It is generally taken into consideration only traffic volume and rehabilitation cost for choosing of rehabilitation regions. But priority determining is one of the important factors for highway user benefits Highway user benefits can be defined as reduction in highway user cost. The aim of this paper is investigation of effect to highway user time lost costs because of pavement serviceability loss in Turkish roads. For this aim, highway user time lost costs was investigated with public survey made in pilot cities. These cities were determined according to various traffic volumes, various income levels, and different vehicle dispersions. Selected cities are Isparta, Adapazarı, and Samsun. As a result, traffic user time costs was determined as automobile user costs are similar but bus and truck user costs are low as Greece costs.
