A Study on the Application of Life Cycle Cost Analysis for the Urban Transit Vehicle

도시철도차량의 수명주기비용 분석의 적용에 대한 고찰

This paper is concerned with the life-cycle cost(LCC) analysis of the urban transit vehicle. LCC is the core part of analyzing the total cost of acquisition and ownership of a system. LCC in railway industry has been focused on the prediction of investment for railway vehicles. Therefore, to investigate future cost for operation and maintenance in detail, it is necessary to evaluate the LCC of the vehicle systematically. This study is focused on making a fundamental model for estimating the LCC of the urban transit vehicle. To develop a appropriate LCC model, we broadly analyzed specs and standards and compared the LCC model developed in other country. Moreover, this paper proposes strategies to develop an unique LCC model for the urban transit vehicle.
