Abstract:

This report describes a performance measurement framework that supports the collaborative decision-making framework (CDMF) for additions to highway capacity being developed under the Strategic Highway Research Program 2 (SHRP 2) capacity research program. Five broad areas of performance are identified: transportation, environment, economics, community, and cost. Under these headings, 17 performance factors are identified and each is linked to key decision points in the CDMF. While the purpose of the performance measurement framework is to establish a systematic approach, the emphasis of the research was on less-developed areas of measurement, such as climate change, ecosystems, environmental health, archeological and cultural resources, and travel time reliability. Measures for each factor are provided along with a discussion of data needs and data gaps. A companion web tool was also developed. The web tool is intended to be a permanent and dynamic resource and will be updated as additional SHRP 2 and other research is completed. The measures were assembled from interviews, case studies documented in the report, other SHRP 2 work, and the literature on the subject.
