transportation benefit cost analysis benefit cost analysis benefit cost analysis also referred to as cost benefit analysis is a systematic process for calculating and comparing benefits and costs of a project for two purposes to determine if it is a sound investment justification feasibility to see how it compares with alternate projects ranking priority assignment benefit cost analysis works by defining the project and any alternatives then by identifying measuring and valuing the benefits and costs of each when should benefit cost analysis be used this website leads users step by step through the process of benefit cost analysis explaining concepts describing methodologies and suggesting additional resources topics 1 through 4 below guide the user through the analysis topics 5 through 7 provide examples of benefit cost analysis and references for further information what you will find on this website how to define the problem that the project addresses and set up the analysis how to measure and value benefits and costs of transportation projects types of measures and calculation issues how to interpret and present the results of benefit cost analysis sample benefit cost models and links to model sites case studies of benefit cost analyses for transportation projects published guidance and references and other websites all topics related to benefits and costs and their measurement methodologies are defined then summarized and then discussed in greater detail for people wanting further detail the site provides links and references acknowledgments this
