Usefulness of comparisons using all objects over the entire time period

Comparison for different strategy sets …Allows statements …Example
1… Of the total costs/risks… Of which in general is betterThe total costs/risks of strategy set 2 (€303 × 106) are lower than the total costs/risks of strategy set 1 (€1005 × 106); therefore, it is clear that one should choose the strategies with earlier preventive interventions – that is, do not neglect maintenance (Table 20)
2… Of the costs/risks per stakeholder… As to how each stakeholder is affected and enables discussions about trade-offs between stakeholdersThe owner should be willing to execute more on later but better preventive interventions, such as renewal interventions when objects are in state 4 – that is, strategy set 1 should be followed instead of strategy set 2 – to reduce the user costs/risks (€368 × 106 against €407 × 106) (Table 20)
3… Of the costs/risks per period of time… As to how each stakeholder is affected and enables discussions about trade-offs between the frequency and extent of interventions of different typesThe owner should be willing to spend more on earlier preventive interventions such as rehabilitation interventions when objects are in state 3 – that is, strategy set 2 should be followed instead of strategy set 1 – to reduce the risks for all stakeholders (€226 × 106 against €125 × 106) (Table 20)
4… Of the costs/risks per object type that causes them… As to where efforts should be focused to reduce costsThe largest sources of costs/risks are tracks (€51 × 106 if strategy set 2 is followed) and earthworks (€79 × 106 if strategy set 1 is followed and €16 × 106 if strategy set 2 is followed) (Table 21)
