Evaluations are critical in promoting innovative practices which may help to provide a safe and efficient transportation system. By conducting such evaluations, we develop quantifiable measures for those in policy development to appreciate and comprehend. Furthermore, it provides rationale to the public whom may be otherwise unaware of the benefits of such systems. By performing evaluations of such alternatives we provide the following benefits by answering some basic questions: (1) Document our successes - Has the system provided a realized benefit; (2) Rationalize our investments versus the benefits - do the financial benefits of the system outweigh the costs; (3) Identify potential improvements - Can the system concept be enhanced by modifying future deployments. |
