Planning and Programming, Land Use, Public Participation, and Computer Technologyin Transportation

摘要

The 16 papers in the volume focus on planning and programming, publicinvolvement, transportation-land use interactions, and computer technology in transportation. Most were presented at the 1993 TRB Annual Meeting. A series of papers on planning and programming focus on new procedures for priority ranking of highway projects; alternative performance measures, with more emphasis on human factors; a statistical appraisal method for programming projects; and a network procedure for the optimization of capital budgeting. In the area of public involvement in transportation planning, existing practices are discussed and new approaches are suggested for integrating the public into agency decision making; constituency groups and how those groups have affected traditional transportation advocacy groups are examined; one state's approach to public involvement is detailed; and a methodology and its application in a case study of citizen participation are described.
