Life Cycle Cost Modeling for Railway Vehicle

초록

Life cycle costing is one of the most effective cost- approaches when we choose a solution from series of alternative so the least long-term cost ownership is achieved. Life cycle costing in railway industry has been focused on the prediction of investment of railway vehicles. But in today, the life cycle cost (LCC) prediction on total railway system is highly necessary. In this paper, we presented a life cycle cost model of railway vehicle as a basic study for evaluating the life cycle cost of total railway system
