1 APPENDX D - COST EVALUATON DATA 0.1 RANGE OF POSSBLTES A review of Cost Element 1 (nfrastructure Capital Costs - Civil/Structural) offers a prime example of the range of possibilities that exists for each option. A dedicated AHS facility with continuous barriers has been assigned a score of based on the maximum level of complexity. However, this aspect of the system can be instituted several different ways, as dramatized in Figures D.l- through D.l-4. Figure D.- details a typical freeway and has been included to provide a point of reference when examining the AHS alternatives for a standard freeway configuration. Figure D.- identifies a possible method of incorporating a single dedicated AHS lane while maintaining the existing paved area. The separation wall could be as simple as a jersey barrier, and the paved surface would require very few modifications. Right-ofway acquisition becomes an issue in this configuration only when constructing the AHS points of entry and exit. The scenario is simplified in this layout, but it is apparent from the sketch that the ramp work becomes extensive when applied to an interstate highway interchange. Figures D.-3 and D.-4 display the two more-extensive efforts that produce a dedicated AHS facility. Most of the costs associated with the elevated highway option would be due to construction materials and labor. Right-of-way purchases would again be necessary only to supply access ramps. This option could become necessary in an urban environment, where widening the existing highway is not possible. Right-of-way acquisition becomes the major cost attribute when considering the wide, single-elevation version of the AHS facility. The direct construction costs for the roadway in this scenario will be much lower when compared with those for the elevated highway, but available space may become a concern when applied to an urban environment. The values applied in the scoring tables reflect potential cost and, as noted, should be reevaluated as the Concepts become more clearly defined. The preceding example is intended to identify alternatives for one specific dimensional option, as well as acknowledge the range of alternatives that exist for other dimensional options. 0. COST ELEMENT 1 Cost element 1 addresses the costs associated with building or modifying the physical portion of the highway. Two Dimensions were considered to envelop the costs associated with this element, as identified in Table D.-. The Dimension entitled "AHS and Non-AHS Mixing" identifies the requirements for interconnecting an AHS freeway with a non-ahs freeway. This Dimension was regarded as the major civil/structural cost element due to direct association with the physical infrastructure, and is weighted accordingly. The Dimension entitled "Class Mixing" outlines the necessity for class-specific lanes on the AHS freeway. This Dimension was considered to affect selective portions of the infrastructure only and, as a result, was weighted much lower. Table D.- defines the relative scores assigned to each of the dimensional options, as well as the relative weights applied to each Dimension when calculating the cost element rating. Table D.- summarizes the scoring for Cost Element and calculates the relative ratings. Figure D.-l displays the results of this rating in bar graph format.

8 Main Volume of NAHSC Concept Generation Final Report 0.3 COST ELEMENT Cost Element addresses the cost of instituting the systems and instrumentatio network necessary to control the AHS enlronment. Three Dimensions were consdered to envelop this cost element, as identified in Table D.3-1. The Dimension entitled "Distribution of ntelligence" identifies the level of participation the infrastructure has in controlling the operation. of the AH.S facility. This Dimension outlnes the basc system functions ofthe infrastructure and, as a result was weighted heavily. The Dimensins entitled "Obstacle Detection" and "Separation Policy" were considered to define specific parameters that enhance the system. These Dimensions were weighted lower, since the impact on the syste cost depends entirely on the role of the mfrastructure. The complexity required to adequately detect roadwy obtac.les warranted a slightly heaver weghtmg between these two Dimensions. Table D.3- defines the relative scores assigned to each of the dimensional options, as well as the relative weights applied to each Dimenion when calculating the cost element ratmg. Table summarizes the scoring for Cost Element and calculates the relative ratings. Figure displays the results of this rating in bar graph format. 0.4 COST ELEMENT 3 Cost element 3 addresses the cost of adding AHS-related sensors and intelligence to a vehicle. Two Dimensions were considered to envelop this cost element, as identified in Table The Dimension entitled "Obstacle Detection" specifies the most sophisticated sensor requirments on.an AHS vehicle. This was weghted heavly due to the wide field of view required onboard the vehicle to adequately detect obstacles, plus the extensive coordinaton required to support automated evasve action. The Dimension entitled "Distribution of ntelligence" defines a mucq broader range of sensor requi!eents, but none. as complicated as avodmg and detectmg obstacles; thus, the lower weighting. Table D.4-1 defines the relative scores assigned to each dimensional option, as well as the relative weights applied to each Dimenion when calculating the cost element ratmg. Table D.4-11 summarizes the scoring for Cost Element 3 and calculates the relative ratings. Figure displays the results of this rating in bar graph format. 0.5 COST ELEMENT 4 Cost element 4 addresses the relative costs attributed to infrastructure and vehicle O&M. By definition, these costs depend on the first three cost elements; therefore, three Dimensions were considered to envelop this cost element, as identified in Table The most dominant Dimension from each of Cost Elements 1,, and 3 was assumed to represent the O&M for that cost eleme.nt. The dimensional scoring mirrors that appled to the Dimension in the previous ratings, for each respective cost element. The.O&M for the infrastructure system was weghted he heaviest to reflect the relatively short servce life of an electronic-based system and the extensive network of personnel required to prevent extended down times. The.O&M for the physical infrastructure was wghted marginal to reflect the resources requlred for snow removal and other maintenance tasks along the extensive highway system. The O&M of the vehicle was weighted low, since the AHS-specific maintenance required for the vehicle will be minimal. Table D.5- defines the relative scores assigned to each of the dimensional options, as well as the relative weights applied to each Dimension when calculating the cost element rating. Table D.5- summarizes the scoring for Cost Element 4 and calulates the relative ratings. Figure D.5-1 dsplays the results of this rating in bar graph format. 0-8 National Automated Highway System Consortium

15 Appendix D - Cost Evaluation Data 0.6 SENSTVTY ANALYSES The sensitivity analyses were considered essential in determining the consistency of the evaluation results. The weights applied when rating each of the cost elements, as well as when performing the composite ranking, were the focus of these analyses. Various composite percentages were applied to recalculate the rankings and these results were compared with the original data. A similar comparison was made with each of the four cost elements. The goal of these analyses was to identify common results that would support a reasonable conclusion. The ranking of individual Concepts from high to low with respect to cost was not intended to identify the single most-expensive Concept. t is impossible to accurately perform this task given the current high level of the Concepts. nstead, grouping the Concepts into high-, medium-, and low-cost groups would be possible if the results were consistent throughout these sensitivity analyses. This grouping could then be used to identify the AHS characteristics with the highest potential cost and possibly to support a costbenefit analysis. The first step in determining sensitivity involved modifying the percentages that were applied in the composite ranking. This process could be used to determine if one cost element is able to control the results. Table D.6- identifies the seven alternate ratios used to recalculate the composite rankings and summarizes the results of this effort. The original composite distribution and the associated ranking are also included in this table for comparison purposes. t is clear that Concept positions fluctuate for each composite ranking, but not excessively. n fact, the basis for cost-related groupings can begin with this comparison. t is apparent, after reviewing this table, that specific Concepts remain on the higher end of the cost ranking regardless of the composite percentages; the same also holds true at the lower end. This consistency indicated that cost groupings exist, but it was necessary to determine the divisions between each of the groupings. More data was necessary to make this determination, and this data could be generated by exploring the internal cost element weightings. ndependently modifying the applied weights from each cost element formed the basis of the next step of the analysis. Adjusting the composite percentages did not significantly affect the results; therefore, the original percentages were considered to be acceptable or,as a minimum, representative. Changing the internal weights of a cost element without modifying any other parameters isolated the direct impact of this change and more clearly defined the significance of each cost element in the composite ranking. This also generated more data to support the creation of cost-groups and help define their alignments. Four alternative weighting schemes were generated for each cost element, and their direct impact on the composite rankings was evaluated. Tables D.6- through D.6-V summarize this exercise for cost elements through 4, respectively. The original weightings and the associated composite rankings from Table D.6- are included in each table for ease of comparison. Reviewing each of these tables indicates that the original composite ranking does not fluctuate excessively and that the Concepts at the high and low end of the spectrum remain fairly uniform.
