主 题:overloading vehicle replacement time vehicle deterioration replacement time optimum replacement time overloading cost
摘 要:Vehicle replacement time depends mainly on the rate of *** has been found to be a significant factor of deterioration and cost *** examined the impact of overloading on vehicle deterioration and its total costs and hence the replacement time of vehicle fleets in *** research design was a mixture of field survey and a longitudinal study of vehicle fleets of three transport companies in Benin City,*** population of the study consisted of all interstate transport companies in Benin ***-stage sampling was used to select the three transport companies *** overloading factor was developed and used to estimate the cost of operating overloaded *** data were analysed using discrete dynamic programming,which was implemented using computer software developed through Pascal *** indicate that overloading significantly precipitates vehicle deterioration,increases operating and total cost and thus affects replacement time of vehicles.
