| Abstract | The Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act or "FAST Act" established the Advanced Transportation Congestion Management Technologies Deployment (ATCMTD) Program to make competitive grants for the deployment of advanced transportation technologies. The legislation also mandates reporting requirements for the grantees, including data on the benefits (e.g., safety, mobility, environmental, etc.), costs, and effectiveness of the technology deployments, as well as lessons learned and recommendations for future deployment strategies. This Evaluation Methods and Techniques document is designed to assist grantees in designing and executing robust evaluations that fulfill their reporting requirements. It offers an overview on evaluation, including best practices related to designing and executing an evaluation. It also discusses methods and analytic techniques, including best practices on benefit-cost analysis, survey and interview methods, and emissions and energy measurement. Additionally, this document provides technology-specific guidance on evaluating Adaptive Signal Control, Connected Vehicles and Automated Vehicles. Finally, it seeks to provide grantees with a recommended set of performance measures that address the FAST Act reporting requirements. |
