Abstract:An effective research center within a transportation organization can be a valuable asset to accomplish the goals of the overall mission. It is important to measure the benefits of transportation research center on a regular basis to determine if research budgets have been used effectively, and to maintain the support of management. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) Research Center. This study performed a detail analysis on the proposals submitted to Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) from 2010 to 2016 to evaluate the effectiveness of the Research Center. The analysis included the investigation of performance measures, and compared to the Phase II Study completed in 2012. These performance measures are quantifiable, meaning they are designed to place a score or value on the accomplishments of the Research Center which can then be used to make managerial decisions for the Research Center. As a part of the study, feedback and performance evaluation surveys were conducted from the Principal Investigators (PIs) and the WYDOT Project Champions. In addition, a methodology for benefit-to-cost analysis (BCA) was developed to be included as a future performance measure. This report summarized the analysis, and provided the conclusions and recommendations. Specific recommendations and conclusions for the WYDOT Research Center are presented in the final chapter of this report.
