Decision Making for Repair Versus Replacement of Highway Operations Equipment
Equipment failures often require state transportation agency fleet managers to consider whether
the equipment should be repaired or replaced. The decision-making process typically considers a
variety of factors.
The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's
NCHRP Research Report 1046:
Decision Making for Repair Versus Replacement of Highway Operations Equipment
is a handbook to help determine the basis for decisions about what to do
with a downed piece of equipment as well as a guide for formulating such decisions in a cost-effective
way.
Supplemental to the report are
a
customizable Excel tool, a video explaining its
Economic Analysis Module, and a video explaining its
