Step 4 – Calculate the Road User Value of Reliability Change<br />

A. Determine the value of time for different vehicle classes.<br />

B. Calculate the value of the reliability improvement for each vehicle class.<br />

C. Calculate the value of reliability improvement for the average a.m. peak hour.<br />

D. Calculate the <strong>to</strong>tal annual value of the reliability improvement over the length of the<br />

highway for all user groups for the average a.m. peak hour only.<br />
