eLCAP (environmental Life Cycle Assessment for Pavements)
eLCAP™ is a web-based transport infrastructure life cycle assessment tool that has the capability to model the life cycle history of a pavement project by allowing a user to specify any number of construction events, occurring at a user-specified date, followed by an automatically generated Use Stage event that begins immediately afterward and lasts until the next construction event or the End-of-Life date.
The Caltrans Pavement Program, partnering with the UCPRC, developed this program specifically for the Caltrans highway system and traffic conditions. The models are calibrated using pavement condition data collected over the past 20 to 30 years in PaveM.
FAALCAn (Federal Aviation Administration Life Cycle Analysis)
The UCPRC, in partnership with the FAA, has developed a beta version of FAALCAn, a web-based life cycle analysis tool designed to help U.S. airports quantify and reduce the economic costs and environmental impacts of airfield pavement infrastructure.
FHWA LCA Pave (Federal Highway Administration Life Cycle Analysis)
The UCPRC has contributed to LCA Pave, a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet tool developed by the FHWA that can be used to assess environmental impacts of pavement material and design decisions.
CWZ (Construction Work Zone global warming calculator)
These downloadable Microsoft Excel spreadsheet tools can be used to quantify excess fuel consumption and life cycle global warming impacts due to traffic affected by construction work zones. They include congestion scenarios, no-shows, and traffic detours, and can be downloaded for urban, suburban, and rural versions.
