Abstract:

The findings from a research project sponsored by the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) between 1989 and 1991 are presented. The goals of the project were to document, formalize, and improve UDOT procedures for prioritizing highway projects. The methods presented here and tentatively adopted by UDOT involve a relatively new approach that integrates and extends traditional engineering measures of reliability in the context of a management science model of productive efficiency. The political priorities of decision makers can be incorporated directly into the model in terms of explicit weights on the relative importance of each dimension being evaluated. In addition, the framework provides a means of assessing the cost of ad hoc revisions in the priority listing.
