This paper documents the demonstration of the inclusion of societal and institutional issues in the decision process attendant to the implementation of an ITS technology through the use of the Multi- Organization Decision Analysis (MODA) process. MODA, developed specifically for such applications, is a modification of decision risk analysis methods that have been repeatedly and successfully used as decision support tools in corporate environments. The modifications result from the consideration that decision makers involved in ITS decisions come from the PUB Published by: lic and private sectors and include a broad mix of agencies, institutions, and interest groups. The MODA process structures a set of interactions among a Decision- Making Team, an Analysis Team, and facilitators. The steps of the MODA process include the development of a shared vision statement, the framing of the problem, generation of alternate solutions, analysis of alternatives, and a decision. Consensus by the decision makers is required at each step of the process. |
