| Abstract | This Project memorandum presents a methodology for evaluating railroad research projects. The methodology includes consideration of industry and societal benefits, with special attention given to technical risks, implementation considerations, and policy concerns. Application of the methodology to evaluate railroad research projects will provide a source of guidance and justification to support research planning by the Federal Railroad Administration, Office of Research and Development (FRA/DOT). |
