Abstract

Vehicle operation cost analysis is used to find the solution for excess fuel consumption, grease, lubricating oil, wear & tear and also maintenance cost due to speed, roughness, rise & fall of road and existing traffic volume with high rate of capacity flow at study area and also predicting some other reasons for high/low VOC for all vehicles. Using studies like roughness, rise & fall, traffic volume count, speed & capacity studies find vehicle operation cost for all vehicles and give probable solutions for higher VOC vehicles, increased service charge & maintenance cost for each vehicle and it also helps in finding total road user cost.
