30 Using Flexibility to Increase Value in Transportation Systems Planning MIT Professor Richard de Neufville Engineering Systems + Civil and Environmental Engineering Author: Flexibility in Engineering Design MIT Press, 2011 with Prof. Stefan Scholtes, University of Cambridge UK (about $30; ebook also available)

31 This is the book MIT Press 2011 Available Online

32 Theme for Flexibility Paradigm change in project evaluation, choice From: standard Net Present Values (VPN), ignoring risks (as done by World Bank) To: recognizing actual uncertainties and planning for adaptation to real situations! Flexibility => significant increase in value Using a win-win approach Mitigates risk (downside) -- a win Opens opportunities (upside) more win 2013 Richard de Neufville

33 Outline of Presentation 1. Discussion of Standard Evaluation Procedure for Transportation projects, Engineering Systems in general 2. Flaw of Averages 3. Concept of Alternative Paradigm 4. Example Application in Bogota 2013 Richard de Neufville

34 Standard Evaluation Procedure for Transportation projects, Engineering Systems in general 2013 Richard de Neufville

35 Standard Evaluation Procedure 1. Make a forecast 2. Evaluate alternatives using forecast, finding a unique cash flow 3. Calculate Net Present Value (VPN) or equivalent such as IRR HOWEVER: Future is Uncertain, as are outcomes THEREFORE: Above calculations are misleading! 2013 Richard de Neufville

36 The Flaw of Averages 2013 Richard de Neufville

37 Flaw of Averages Named by Sam Savage ( Flaw of Averages, Wiley, New York, 2009) It is a pun. It integrates two concepts: A mistake => a flaw The concept of the law of averages, that that things balance out on average Flaw consists of assuming that evaluation based on average or most likely conditions give correct answers NOT SO! 2013 Richard de Neufville

38 In Words Average of all the possible outcomes associated with uncertain parameters, does not equal (except if system linear) the value obtained from using the average value of the parameters 2013 Richard de Neufville

39 2013 Richard de Neufville

40 Practical Consequences Unless you work with distribution, your evaluation gives wrong result and wrong results lead to wrong ranking and choice of design design from a realistic description differs often greatly from design from average description This is because gains when things do well, do not balance losses when things do not (sometimes they re more, sometimes less) 2013 Richard de Neufville

41 Concept of Alternative Paradigm 2013 Richard de Neufville

42 New, Flexible Approach to Design Recognizes Uncertainty Analyses Possible Outcomes of Designs Chooses Flexible Designs to Reduce, eliminate downside risks (in general, less ambitious initial projects less to lose) Maximize Upside opportunities (that can expand or change function, when, if, and how seems desirable given future circumstances) Great Increases in Expected Value Routine! 2013 Richard de Neufville

43 Great increase in Expected Value systems with flexibility to adapt to new conditions can greatly increase expected value. With flexibility we can avoid future downside risks (by building smaller with confidence that can expand as needed) profit from new opportunities by appropriate actions Reduce initial capital expenditure (CAPEX). Lower initial CAPEX because less complex at start Lower Present Values, because costs deferred many years (and maybe even avoided) Higher returns, lower cost = A Great Formula 2013 Richard de Neufville

44 HCSC Building in Chicago In , 3000 people were coming to work in the 30-story HCSC building in Chicago, and a 27-story addition was being built right on top of them! The structure was designed in 1990s with extra steel, utilities, elevator shafts, etc. to permit doubling of height. This flexibility was exploited a decade later 2013 Richard de Neufville

45 Here s the Picture Vertical Expansion of Health Care Service Corporation Building, Chicago. Phase 1 (left) and Phase 2 (right) in center of image. Source: Goettsch Partners, 2008 and Pearson and Wittels, Richard de Neufville

46 The Paradox 30-story building with capacity to expand costs more than one without expansion capacity Yet saves money! Why is this? The fair comparison is between 30-story expandable building and what HCSC would build otherwise to meet its long-term needs such as a 40-story building Flexible design saves money 2 ways: Lower initial Capital Expenditures (CAPEX) Deferral, possible avoidance, of expansion costs 2013 Richard de Neufville

47 Example Application: Public Transport in Bogota 2013 Richard de Neufville

48 To BRT or HRT in Bogotá? That is the Question Application of Flexibility in Engineering Design MIT Course ESD.71, December 2012 Andrés Felipe Archila, M.S.T

49 Description, Background, and Motivation New transit corridor in Bogota, Colombia BRT or HRT for 35-km-long Avenida Boyacá Analysis of fixed and flexible alternatives Andrés Archila - MIT

50 Technical Choice El bus? O el tren? Andrés Archila - MIT

51 Usual Financial Analysis (as for World Bank) Calculate NPV (=VPN) with no uncertainty One design Dominates All others [in this case, Big buses] Andrés Archila - MIT

52 Cumulative Probability Evaluation Recognizing Uncertainty Evaluation Recognizing Uncertainty HRT-6 BRT Alternative Choices now Ambiguous [Rail better when traffic is high, worse when traffic is low.] NPV (million $USD) Andrés Archila - MIT

53 Cumulative Probability Evaluation including flexible alternative Valuation including Flexible Design (start with 4 car trains, with stations for 6 cars) Flexible Alternative provides Insurance against downside Risks HRT-6 HRT-F NPV (million $USD) Andrés Archila - MIT

54 Summary 1. Standard Evaluation Procedure for Transportation projects, Engineering Systems in general, is FLAWED 2. It fails to recognize, deal with risks 3. Flexibility is New Alternative Paradigm 4. Helps planners deal proactively with risk: Reduces exposure to downside; Allows for dealing with upside 2013 Richard de Neufville
