Description: "This report presents models for estimating the effects of pavement condition on vehicle operating costs ... The material contained in the report should be of immediate interest to state pavement, construction, and maintenance engineers; vehicle fleet managers; and those involved in pavement-investment decision processes and financial aspects of highway transportation."--foreword.
Notes: At head of title: National Cooperative Highway Research Program.

Accompanied by a CD-ROM (numbered CRP-CD-111) that contains models developed by researchers on fuel consumption, tire wear, and improved repair and maintenance presented as computational software.

Appendices A-D (Fuel consumption models -- Tire wear models -- Repair and maintenance models -- An overview of emerging technologies) are not included in print format and are available online only at the TRB website.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 60-61).

Research sponsored by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration NCHRP project 1-45
