Unit Cost Element | IDAS# | Life (years) | Capital Cost $K (Year) | O&M Cost $K/year (Year) | Description | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Highway Advisory Radio | RS017 | 20 | 15.00 - 35.00 (2005) | 0.60 - 1.00 (2005) | Capital cost is for a 10-watt HAR. Includes processor, antenna, transmitters, battery back-up, cabinet, rack mounting, lighting, mounts, connectors, cable, and license fee. Super HAR costs an additional $9K to $10K (larger antenna). Primary use of the super HAR is to gain a stronger signal. |
|
Roadside Probe Beacon | RS020 | 5 | 5.00 - 8.00 (2001) | 0.50 - 0.80 (2001) | Two-way device (per location). |
|
LED Count-down Signal | 10 | 0.33 - 1.08 (2020) | Costs range from low (two 12x12-inch dual housing unit) to high (16x18-inch single housed unit). Signal indicates time remaining for pedestrian to cross, and a walk or don't walk icon. Count-down signals use low 8-watt LED bulbs, which require replacement approximately every five to seven years. |

Highway Advisory Radio Sign | 10 | 5.00 - 9.00 (2005) | 0.25 (2005) | Cost is for a HAR sign with flashing beacons. Includes cost of the controller. |
||
Dynamic Message Sign | RS015 | 10 | 47.00 - 117.00 (2005) | 2.30 - 6.00 (2005) | Low capital cost is for smaller DMS installed along arterial. High capital cost is for full matrix, LED, 3-line, walk-in DMS installed on freeway. Cost does not include installation. |
|
Dynamic Message Sign Tower | RS016 | 20 | 25.00 - 251.45 (2020) | Low capital cost is for a small structure for arterials. High capital cost is for a larger structure spanning three to four lanes. DMS tower structure requires minimal maintenance. |
||
Wireline to Roadside Message Sign | RS013 | 20 | 6.00 - 9.00 (1995) | Wireline to DMS (0.5 mile upstation). |
||
Dynamic Message Sign - Portable | 14 | 2.00 - 24.00 (2019) | 0.60 - 1.80 (2005) | Trailer mounted DMS (three-line, 8-inch character display); includes trailer, solar or diesel powered, and equipped with cellular modem for remote communication and control. Operating costs are for labor and replacement parts. |
||
Roadside Message Sign | RS010 | 20 | 50.00 - 75.00 (1995) | 2.50 - 3.75 (1995) | Fixed message board for HOV and HOT lanes. |
|
Variable Speed Display Sign | 3.70 - 5.00 (2001) | Low range is for a variable speed limit display system. High range includes static speed sign, speed detector (radar), and display system. |
||||
Pedestrian Crossing Illumination System | 5 | 27.50 - 42.00 (2003) | 2.75 - 4.20 (2003) | The capital cost range includes cost of equipment and installation. Equipment includes fixtures, four lamps per lane for a three lane crosswalk, controller, pole, and push button activator. Installation is estimated at 150% to 200% of the total equipment cost. Capital cost would be greater if the system included automated activation of the in-pavement lighting system. O&M is approximately 10% of the equipment cost. |
