Metrication and Enhancement of MicroBENCOST Software Package

This is a digest of National Cooperative Highway Research Program ( NCHRP) Project 7-12(2), "Metrication and Enhancements of MicroBENCOST Software Package." The digest provides details and concepts about a software package consisting of two independent programs on separate disks--an English units version (C:/ MBE) and a metric units version ( C:/ MBM)--that update and enhance the original English unit program ( C:/ MB). All programs are written in the FORTRAN programming language and use the DOS operating system. The MicroBENCOST software provides a planning-level economic analysis tool that can be used to analyze a variety of transportation projects.
