144 A P P E N D I X D HERS-ST Parameter Values for the Western State Case Study The following are parameter values used in the Western State case study for predicting user costs as a function of pavement roughness for using HERS-ST. The parameter values detailed below were substituted for those provided in the HERS-ST documentation. Table D-1 details the basic user costs parameters included in HERS-ST, which are specified by vehicle type. Table D-2 provides the disaggregation factors used to combine data for different vehicle types to obtain overall values for autos and trucks. These are specified by functional classification. Note that for any one functional classification the values for small auto, medium auto and 4-tire truck sum to 1 and indicate the percentage of autos composed of each of these vehicle types. Likewise the remaining columns of the table sum to 1 and indicate the percentage of trucks composed of each of the truck types shown in the table: 6-tire truck, 3-4 axle truck, bus, 4-axle combination and 5-axle combination.

TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Research Report 866: Return on Investment in Transportation Asset Management Systems and Practices explores how transportation agencies manage their transportation assets, and provides guidance for evaluating the return on investment for adopting or expanding transportation asset management systems in an agency.

As the term is most generally used, transportation asset management (TAM) entails the activities a transportation agency undertakes to develop and maintain the system of facilities and equipment—physical assets such as pavements, bridges, signs, signals, and the like—for which it is responsible. Based on the research team’s work and the experiences of these agencies and others, the researchers describe a methodology that an agency may use to assess their own experience and to plan their investments in TAM system development or acquisition.

A spreadsheet accompanies the research report helps agencies evaluate the return-on-investment of TAM systems.The tool allows users to summarize data from various simulation tools. The calculator also includes factors and procedures from the Highway Economic Requirements System State Version (HERS-ST) to estimate user benefits for pavement projects. It does not estimate user benefits for bridge projects.
