Book Description
The user costs include the costs borne by highway users such as additional travel time costs, crash costs, costs of operating vehicles in work zone conditions, and environmental costs. The pavement type selection process currently used by Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) does not include user costs quantitatively. This thesis provides a comprehensive review of literature and tools used to calculate user costs. The results of a questionnaire survey on the role played by user costs in pavement type selection processes of various state and regional agencies in US and Canada are provided. Based on the findings from literature review and questionnaire survey, this thesis investigates and provides recommendations for including user delay costs quantitatively in Ohio DOT's pavement type selection process. Two case studies presented in this thesis illustrate the methods recommended in this thesis and their applicability to real life scenarios.

Book Description
What are the risks of terrorism and what are their consequences and economic impacts? Are we safer from terrorism today than before 9/11? Does the government spend our homeland security funds well? These questions motivated a twelve-year research program of the National Center for Risk and Economic Analysis of Terrorism Events (CREATE) at the University of Southern California, funded by the Department of Homeland Security. This book showcases some of the most important results of this research and offers key insights on how to address the most important security problems of our time. Written for homeland security researchers and practitioners, this book covers a wide range of methodologies and real-world examples of how to reduce terrorism risks, increase the efficient use of homeland security resources, and thereby make better decisions overall.
