Guidebook on Risk Analysis Tools and Management Practices to Control Transportation Project Cost

项目名称：	Guidebook on Risk Analysis Tools and Management Practices to Control Transportation Project Cost
摘要：	Identification, analysis, and management of the risk of project-cost escalation are fundamental challenges facing the transportation industry. Recently completed NCHRP Project 8-49, "Procedures for Cost Estimation and Management for Highway Projects During Planning, Programming, and Preconstruction," focused on the issue of cost escalation and developed a guidebook on highway cost-estimation management and tools aimed at achieving greater consistency and accuracy in long-range transportation planning, priority programming, and preconstruction estimates. The scope of NCHRP Project 8-49 called for development of multiple strategies for controlling cost escalation, but did not allow for in-depth treatment of methods and tools necessary to implement a specific strategy for risk management. NCHRP Project 8-49 identified risk analysis and management as primary strategies to help control cost escalation (see Special Note F). The objective of this research is to develop a comprehensive guidebook on risk-related analysis tools and management practices for estimating and controlling transportation project costs. The guidebook must include a plain language toolbox for transportation agencies to use in selecting appropriate strategies, methods, and tools to apply in meeting their cost-estimation and control goals and objectives. This guidebook will be especially applicable to planning, priority programming, and preconstruction phases.
