摘要: The aim of this Workbook is to assist the Virgnia Department of Transportation (VDOT) in improving the comparison in planning of potential primary and secondary roadway improvement projects. It is an outcome of an effort to: (1) Develop a comparison tool to present effectively the tradeoffs among crash-risk reduction, performance gain, and cost for roadway improvements; (2) Ensure that the experience and judgment of VDOT personnel are fundamental to the estimation of crash risk, performance, and cost; (3) Adopt existing models for estimating the crash-risk reduction and the performance gain for roadway improvements, as appropriate to supplement and complement the input of experts; Work closely with a pilot VDOT district in the development, calibration, and workship-demonstration of the developed methodology; (5) Understand and accommodatethe needs of VDOT districts in their selection of projects for the Six-Year Plan; and (6) Provide that the support for decision-making is: Comprehensive, adherent to evidence (e.g., MIS 2000), logically sound, practical and politically acceptable, open to evaluation, based on explicit assumptions and premises, compatible with institutions, conducive to learning, attuned to principles of risk communication, and innovative.
