Equipment failures often require state transportation agency fleet managers to consider whether the equipment should be repaired or replaced. The decision-making process typically considers a variety of factors.

The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Research Report 1046: Decision Making for Repair Versus Replacement of Highway Operations Equipment is a handbook to help determine the basis for decisions about what to do with a downed piece of equipment as well as a guide for formulating such decisions in a cost-effective way.

Supplemental to the report are a customizable Excel tool, a video explaining its Economic Analysis Module, and a video explaining its Decision Module.
