Cost Effective Design Processes

  • Chapter
Intelligent Transportation Systems

Abstract

This chapter discusses the following processes in the design and life-cycle operation of a freeway ITS project:

  • Systems engineering requirements for federal aid projects, and the adaptation of these requirements to the design and project development process used by many agencies.

  • Objectives for freeway management systems and their relationship to project benefits.

  • Methodologies for the evaluation of design alternatives, project feasibility and project life-cycle evaluation.
