HERS-ST Highway Economic Requirements System - State Version

HERS-ST is an engineering/economic analysis (EEA) tool that uses engineering standards to identify highway deficiencies, and then applies economic criteria to select the most cost-effective mix of improvements for system-wide implementation. HERS-ST is designed to evaluate the implications of alternative programs and policies on the conditions, performance, and user cost levels associated with highway systems. The model will provide cost estimates for achieving economically optimal program structures, as well as predict system condition and user cost levels resulting from a given level of investment.
