摘要: |
In recent years, Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) has been promoted by both AASHTO and FHWA as a best practice for project development. CSS provides a systematic and comprehensive approach to project development from inception and planning through operations and maintenance. The ability to categorize and measure the benefits of CSS projects is vital to the long-term success of this approach. The objective of this project is to develop a guide for transportation officials and professionals that identifies a comprehensive set of performance measures of CSS principles and quantifies the resulting benefits through all phases of project development. To develop these CSS performance measures, a two-phased approach has been employed. The first phase involved a review of literature; a review of existing (documented) case studies; identification of potential examples; and the development of a methodology for data collection and analysis. In the second phase, the selected example cases were closely evaluated and analyzed using measurement tools to be developed and applied to determine the benefits of applying CSS in a range of contexts. A guide was developed based on the understanding of these case studies and the issues identified throughout the process. |
