摘要: Between 1991 and 2003, the K-TRAN program has funded over 200 research projects at a total program cost of $7.3 million. Since 1991, a total of 76 K-TRAN projects have been implemented. Estimates of monetary triennial benefits have been developed by the research project monitors for 25 of the implemented projects. The estimated benefit/cost ratio for the total K-TRAN program (i.e., including projects which have not been implemented) is 15.4. The benefit/cost ratio for projects that have been or are in the process of being implemented is 37.3. The K-TRAN Program is clearly an economically viable program. The objectives of this research project were to: (1) identify and evaluate techniques for estimating the benefits of research projects, (2) test one or more of the techniques by preparing estimates of the benefits of selected completed Kansas Transportation Research and New-Developments (K-TRAN) research projects, and (3) develop and document easy to use guidelines that project monitors and principal investigators can use to develop estimates of the potential benefits of research projects. The guidelines presented in this report represent a hybrid approach to research project assessment that incorporates elements from traditional benefit-cost and multi-objective analysis techniques.
