Explain the difference between transportation systems evaluation and transportation project evaluation? In transportation project evaluation, quantitative and qualitative methods are typically used. Explain why it is necessary to use the two categories of methods? Explain why life-cycle cost analysis is required for transportation project evaluation? What is a life-cycle cost profile in one service lifespan and in perpetuity, respectively? Explain the differences among certainty, risk, and uncertainty cases of an input factor (such as agency cost, traffic forecast, and discount rate) for evaluation of a transportation project. Explain the interdependent impacts of jointly implementing multiple transportation projects.
