NCHRP 736 Resource Allocation Logic Framework to Meet Highway Asset Preservation Accession Number: 01471853 Record Type: Monograph URL: Record URL: Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Washington, DC 20001 USA Order URL: Find a library where document is available Order URL: Abstract: This report presents a logic framework for allocating limited highway asset preservation funds among competing demands to achieve high levels of system performance. The report also presents a spreadsheet-based computational tool that implements the framework. The tool uses linear programming optimization to allocate resources across asset classes or geographic regions, subject to constraints that typically must be considered in such decisionmaking, to achieve target asset performance or condition levels. Prototypical application scenarios and case-study examples illustrate how transportation agency staff may use the framework to assist resource decisionmaking. Numbers: Project 14-21
