Life Cycle Analysis

Quantitative

Where:

·     S(t) is the status measure (mileage for each year)

·     t is time in year

·     t₀ is the inflection time (year in which ½ k is achieved)

·     K is the saturation status level

·     b is a coefficient

K and b are to be estimated through the regression analysis

In addition, the equation 1 is derived into a linear form to estimate the value K, b and t₀. The equations are shown are follow.

y = bX + c (2)

$y=LN\left({\frac {Passenger}{K-Passengers}}\right)$
