Abstract
:
Various methods are reviewed and analyzed that have been proposed for evaluating time savings that accrue to highway vehicles. A cost savings approach was developed to the determination of values of time savings and is applied to a composite cargo vehicle, a composite intercity bus, and a number of cargo vehicle types. A table is presented of time savings per hour for composite vehicles by ICC regions.
