Asset Valuation of Low-Volume Road Networks

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2007
Asset management is a systematic process of maintenance, modernization, and operation of infrastructure assets in an economically efficient way. For these reasons, asset management has been considered as an emerging concept applied in the area of transport management. Many countries have developed procedures to evaluate pavement infrastructure assets;

Privatization of Low-Volume-Road Maintenance Management

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2007
In 2001, the Malaysian government privatized the maintenance of its federal road network. The network was divided into four maintenance regions. The southern region consists of about 4,000 km of roads; of that, about 1,800 km is under the Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA) scheme.

Low-Volume Roads Engineering: Best Management Practices

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2003
The concept and application of best management practices (BMPs) for low-volume roads projects were studied. BMPs are techniques or design practices that will prevent or reduce nonpoint pollution, maintain water quality, and help produce well-built roads.

Overview of Low-Volume Roads: Keynote Address

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 1999
In this keynote address, the author defines low-volume roads as those in a rural environment that enable automobile operation and account for less than 500 vehicles per day, pointing out that this is an arbitrary definition, as are all definitions, for the sake of identifying the group of roads to be considered.

Economic Decision Model for Low-Volume Roads

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 1999
Presented is the low-volume roads economic decision model (RED), developed to improve the decision-making process for the development and maintenance of low-volume roads of key importance in Africa. The model performs an economic evaluation of road investment options by using the consumer surplus approach.

Private–Public Partnership for Low-Volume Roads: Swedish Private Road Associations

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2003
Unit costs for low-volume road construction and maintenance are low compared with those for higher-level roads. The problem is that in many countries this network is vast, and the total cost requirements to ensure minimum access are enormous. This problem is a particular challenge in developing countries where more than two-thirds of the poor reside ...

Application of geosynthetics on low-volume roads

Transportation Geotechnics, 2016
Abstract There are numerous cost-effective applications for geosynthetics on low-volume roads, yet geosynthetic materials use on these roads is typically underutilized. The USDA Forest Service has been using geosynthetics on its low-volume roads for the past 40 years in applications of separation, reinforcement, drainage, filtration, and others.

DCP for Low Volume Road Design / Construction

Plan, Build, and Manage Transportation Infrastructure in China, 2008
Due to its low impact on overall highway system in case of failure, low volume road design and construction acceptance are very often ignored by highway agencies. The negligence more often than not is due to lack of staff to handle these minor projects. From a macro highway system point of view, impact of low volume road failure is not significant. But
