Project Details - For a Project Not on the Caltrans Highway System

The following controls, located on the Input -> Project Information Page, are used to specify some details for Local Agency projects.

eLCAP uses the data specified in the Project Details section for the following:

•Project Length - used to compute material quantities and generate construction equipment time of operation estimates

•Design Life - TBD

•Traffic Year - the traffic collection year (or the year it was last verified)

•Traffic Growth - a percent increase in traffic from the Traffic Year to the date for the first event; eLCAP uses today's date if no events have been defined

•Climate Zone - specifies the California climate zone in which the project is located

eLCAP uses traffic data (cars and trucks in lanes) and the selected climate zone to select a specific set of equation coefficients used in modeling the growth of IRI over time. The IRI is part of the GHG equation (along with lane-based car and truck counts) used during the Use Stage (see Section 2.7.2 of the eLCAP Report).

The question mark in the blue circle in the upper-right of the control group allows you to get help on the controls (this topic).
