Abstract
In this paper, combined with an actual case project, activity-based costing is used to analyze the labor costs, material costs, and the corresponding indirect costs (such as site management fees and taxes) where each cost is analyzed in detailed. Through quantitative comparison, it further determines which business activities are the key cost control objects and proposes targeted implementation plans for actual cost management in the future in order to provide new ideas for improving the implementation efficiency in addition to a reasonable cost control of highway engineering projects. At the same time, through analyzing the situation of highways, different maintenance modes are compared to put forward a more perfect rural road maintenance and management mode.
