## Improving the Efficiency of the U.S. Highway System

- Clifford Winston
- The Brookings Institution

## Overview

- Summary comments on roads
- Raising revenue efficiently
- Reducing costs efficiently
- Spurring technical innovation

## Highway Performance:Delays

**Average Annual Traffic Delay in Major Metropolitan Areas, 1982-2001**

## Highway Performance: Finances

- The road system is always “balanced” but that is misleading
- Revenue sources (the fuel tax) are volatile
- Costs can be reduced by deferring maintenance and expansion
- Innovation is rarely considered

## Mode Shares

## Revenues:  Efficient Pricing

- Fuel tax is largely unrelated to motorists’ contributions to delay—doesn’t vary by time of day or location
- Efficient tolls (road pricing):
- 		mitigate delays
- 		 raise revenues efficiently (self financing)
- 		 improve land use (other effects)
- Redistributive effects exaggerated

## Efficient pricing (continued)

- Fuel tax provides wrong incentives for trucks to reduce weight per axle—the primary source of pavement damage
- An axle-weight tax should be used to reduce maintenance costs
- Generally, the fuel tax is an inefficient tax (emission, safety)

## Reducing Costs: X-Inefficiency

- Eliminate Davis Bacon (reduce labor costs)
- Optimize capital/maintenance cost tradeoff with thicker pavement
- Make contracting more flexible
- Improve oversight to reduce cost overruns

## Reducing Costs: Improve Allocation of Funds

- Allocate highway expenditures to reduce total highway costs, accounting for users’ cost of congestion
- $1 of spending reduces users’ congestion costs 11 cents; under optimal allocation $1 reduces costs 25 cents
- Eliminate demonstration projects
- Use prices as efficient signals of investment—cannot build our way out of congestion

## Innovation: Motivation of Privatization

- Vast pricing and investment inefficiencies in highway
- Efficient pricing and investment would produce billions of dollars in welfare gains
- Objectives of privatization:
- 		Reduce costs
- 		Make suppliers more responsive to users
- 		More rapid introduction of innovations

## Developing Evidence to Make the Case for Privatization

- The experience with deregulating intercity transportation in the United States
- Foreign experience with privatization: private road builders
- Experiments in the US to show competition can develop

## Presentation Overview

**Revise the Minimum Performance Standard for Engine Nacelles and APU Compartments (MPSe)**
- Currently known as revision 3
- Will remove Halon 1301 fire test requirement
- With Halon 1301 removal, revision 4 results

**Notes:**
Self explanatory...

## MPSe, Revision 3

**Fire testing required for **_**Halon 1301**_** and **_**replacement candidate**_
**Successful quantity of replacement candidate :**
- is established by fire test
- demonstrates parity with Halon 1301 fire test results
- is likely found by iterative process
**Equivalent concentration established from the distribution of the successful replacement candidate**

**Notes:**
Self explanatory...

- CANDIDATE

- COMPARE HALON 1301
- & CANDIDATE BEHAVIORS

- QUANTIFY DISTRIBUTION
- BEHAVIOR OF THE
- SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE

- ESTABLISH EQUIVALENT
- CONCENTRATION

- Repeated 4 times; 4 conditions of 2 ventilation regimes & 2 fire threats

- IF UNFAVORABLE

- IF FAVORABLE

**Notes:**
Self explanatory...

## MPSe, Revision 4 – Preliminary Thoughts

**Remove fire testing required for Halon 1301**
- utilize a surrogate for Halon 1301
- maintain relation to historical Halon 1301 results
**Optimize process based on past experiences with HFC-125, CF****3****I, & FK-5-1-12**

**Notes:**
Self explanatory...

## MPSe, Revision 4 – Preliminary Thoughts

**Suspected equivalent concentration :**
- must be known by representative prior to MPSe testing
- must be distributed in the test fixture prior to MPSe testing
**Successful quantity of replacement candidate :**
- will remain proven by fire test for the 4 conditions
- if suspected equivalent concentration fails, will be found by iterative process of rev03

**Notes:**
shifting from the seek-n-find test approach of rev03 to a go/no-go approach in rev04 (i.e. representative finds and uses the inerting design concentration for the replacement candidate)
changing the burden from the FAATC finding the equivalent concentration to the representative supporting the replacement candidate (does the burden really shift? FAATC still has to run the test fixture to support the rep so they can find the desired distribution of the replacement candidate prior to MPSe testing)
if the equivalent concentration the representative recommends fails go/no-go test, a variation of the seek-n-find process from MPSe rev03 would follow to find the equivalent concentration

## MPSe Revision 4 – Preliminary schematic flow

**Notes:**
am assuming the representative will know their agent prior to MPSe testing, and iterative seek-n-find testing (shown as gray in the process flow) would not be required

## Implementation of HPV Vaccine:Challenges	

- Financing
- Infrastructure support
- Policy implications: School Requirement?

## Financing

- Uninsured
- (age 9-18)				 	COVERED
- (age 19-26)			LIMITED COVERAGE
- Insured 					COVERED ?
- Undersinsured	LIMITED COVERAGE
- 317 funding
- State/local funding

## Grantee plans for HPV implementation for underinsured in PUBLIC settings AIM HPV Implementation Survey, September 2006, N = 27

## What funds will be used to purchase vaccine if you are planning to provide vaccine for underinsured populations in PUBLIC settings?AIM HPV Implementation Survey, September 2006, N= 27

## Grantee plans for HPV implementation for females aged 19-26 years old.  Check all that apply.AIM HPV Implementation Survey, September 2006, N= 25

## Infrastructure Support	

- Adolescents: new and different strategies
- Non-traditional providers
- Medical homes?
- Consent issues
- New partners
- Majority of states: no full time adolescent immunization staff

## School Requirements

- Successful public health strategy for preventing spread of disease in schools
- Assurance of high coverage rates in school-aged population
- Collaboration with schools:
- Enforcement
- Documentation

## Should School Requirements be used to implement new vaccines?

- Risks vs. Benefits
- AIM believes school requirements should be used cautiously after sufficient implementation period
- Supply			-- Safety
- Registries			-- Acceptance
- Burden on schools

- Current approaches to data management, analysis & visualization don’t scale;
- Need to discover, develop, & deploy ways to enable remote collaboration & use of these resources;
- Many current algorithms scale poorly with problem size;
- CS/ET needs to innovate but applications need stable, engineered tools.

## Why do we think this is possible?

- We have been experimenting with approaches to these problems for some time:
- “Grand Challenges”
- DOE2000
- Other science disciplines have successfully made the phase change to large interdisciplinary teams...e.g., HEP.

## Relationship to ASCI

- SSI is built on the experience gained from planning and beginning to execute ASCI
- In certain core areas SSI will co-develop software technology with ASCI to ensure that these technologies can be effectively deployed to SSI applications.
- In a number of areas SSI must significantly extend ASCI technologies or develop different technologies

**Notes:**
SSI is built on the experience gained from planning and beginning to execute ASCI, 
for example our focus on Distributed Collaboration and Data Management and Visualization is partially due to ASCI’s recognition of the importance of these areas
In certain core areas SSI will co-develop software technology with ASCI to ensure that these technologies can be effectively deployed to SSI applications.  Examples of candidate technologies include:
high performance numerical linear algebra libraries,
high performance software for hierarchical storage systems supporting multi-resolution views of data
tools for testing and monitoring the performance of parallel programs on SSI or ASCI scale computers
In a number of areas SSI must significantly extend ASCI technologies or develop different technologies because:
SSI is significantly more distributed than ASCI in the number of sites, the number of scientists and the number of disciplines; 
SSI has a larger number of problem geometries which it needs to treat;
SSI covers a broader set of physical phenomena			      than weapons physics

##        Jupiter 

**By: Yukali & Megan**
**       ****Brewster Middle School**

## Problem

- We had to find a different planet that would be a better measurement for the AU
- We also had to explain why we chose the planet
- In this problem we chose Jupiter

## Jupiter’s Facts 

- Jupiter’s Facts

-  Jupiter is the 5th planet from the sun
-  Actual Diameter: 142,984 km
- Actual Distance to the sun: 778,412,010 km
-  Distance to the sun: 25.9 toilet paper sheets
- Distance to the sun: (original)5.2 AU, (new)1.0

## Earth’s Facts

- Third planet from the sun
- Actual Diameter: 12,756 km
- Actual Distance to the sun: 149,597,890 km
- Distance to the sun: 5.0 toilet paper sheets
- Distance to the sun: (original)1.0 AU, (new)0.2

## Advantages

- Jupiter is middle planet of solar system
-  Every planet farther to the sun is more than 1 AU
- Every planet closer to the sun is less than 1 AU

## Disadvantages

- Harder to work with decimal than whole numbers
- Distance to sun(778,412,010) is not easy to work with
- Have to know exact distance to sun to get exact answer

## Solar System

- Jupiter

## Calculation 

**1 AU = 778,412,010**
**Distance to sun for other planets divided by Jupiter’s distance**
**Distance to the sun: (original)1.0 AU, (new)0.2**
**Distance to the sun: (original)5.2 AU, (new)1.0**

## Conclusion 

-  We chose Jupiter and it has proven as a good distance
- We found out that it was the middle planet and that it was an easy planet to work with
