Results are described of an effort directed toward developing a consistent methodology to assess the impacts of traffic disruption due to major transportation reconstruction and rehabilitation projects during the implementation period. In the approach taken, state-of-the-art traffic simulation models are used to estimate the performance of the transportation system during various construction phases. Alternative construction and traffic redirection strategies designed to minimize both the direct and indirect losses associated with the construction or rehabilitation are then evaluated with the development of a systematic, computerized procedure designed to (a) provide for the creation and comparison of multiple and "layered" reconstruction and rehabilitation scenarios, (b) minimize the required knowledge of both the detailed interactions with the model as well as with the host computer, and (c) produce meaningful, comparative outputs that assist in the selection of reasonable alternatives. The resulting modeling environment is viewed as a convenient tool to assist both the traffic engineer and the transportation planner in selection of reasonable reconstruction and rehabilitation plans and schedules.
