Federal Highway Administration, in support of the Traffic Analysis and Simulation Pooled Fund Study, initiated this study to identify and address consistency in the selection and use of traffic analysis tools. This document offers recommendations on the management, planning, and conduct of traffic analysis that will promote greater traffic analysis tool consistency over the typical project development life cycle. The key to managing consistency of traffic analyses throughout the various stages of project development is the use of a master plan, which is called the project delivery analysis plan (PDAP) for the purposes of this document. The PDAP describes the project, its purpose, and the objectives of the traffic analysis. It identifies the measures of effectiveness that will be used to evaluate the project and its alternatives, describes the traffic analysis approach (including tools, assumptions, and parameters), identifies risks and contingency plans for dealing with those risks, determines the resource requirements, and lays out the time schedule for the analysis. This guidebook is directed toward professionals operating in State departments of transportation and other agencies responsible for transportation project development and delivery. |
