In the past, pavement was maintained but not managed. The pavement engineer’s experience tended to dictate the selection
Read MoreRisk Analysis and Decision Making in Project Evaluation
The effect of risk on the value of a project is included in the required rate of return.
However, many assumptions are made in forecasting cash flows.
How do we factor in variability of these forecasts?
– sensitivity analysis
– Scenario analysis
– break-even analysis
– simulation techniques
– decision tree analysis
Sensitivity analysis
Analyses effect of changing one or more input variables (one variable at a time) to observethe effects on the results (similar to ‘what if we changed .

ADM (Aeronautical Decision Making)
ADM is a systematic approach to the mental process used by pilots to consistently determine the best course of action in response to a given set of circumstances.
- Hazardous Attitudes: Anti-authority, impulsivity, macho, resignation, invulnerability.
- Antidotes: Follow the rules, not so fast think first, taking chances is foolish, I am not helpless, it could happen to me.
- Spatial Disorientation: Occurs when a pilot’s perception
