Introduction

According to National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) 58% of roadway crashes are safety related.

Factors such as fatigue and drowsiness causes significance decline in driver’s abilities of perception, recognition and vehicle control.

Exposes driver’s to a higher level of risk while driving with these conditions.

Being awake for 18 hours is equivalent to a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.08%.

Statistical Modeling Of A Vehicle Miles Traveled Fee For Nevada, Andrew Nordland, Alexander Paz

College of Engineering: Graduate Celebration Programs

Objective:

  • Develop a model to estimate the effects of a change in road pricing for Nevada, specifically when adopting a Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Fee to replace the current fuel tax
  • Analyze the model with:
  • Current State Fuel Tax
  • Two ‘Revenue Neutral’ VMT Fees (Includes all State and Federal Taxes)
