• Abstract:
  The presentation of highly technical information during the public phases of complex design projects is often complicated by the participants' inability to understand the terminology and interpret the materials provided. The research was undertaken as a follow-up to a previous research study designed to review computer-based technologies that could be used to improve the public phases of design projects. A pilot project was developed to implement one or more of the technologies reviewed in the initial research effort and evaluate their effectiveness in presenting transportation design projects. A project was selected in Camden, Maine and appropriate materials were prepared for use in a public meeting. An assessment was conducted with the participants during and after the public meeting to determine the effectiveness of the technologies. In addition, personnel from MDOT were interviewed to determine their perception regarding the use of the technologies.
