Abstract:This case study illustrates how a state, with limited funding, utilized components of a PBDP approach to develop less-expensive alternatives to achieve project goals. Through quantitative analysis, MnDOT identified lower-cost alternatives that still attain the vast majority of the safety and operational benefits of the higher-cost original design concept. That is, MnDOT developed a series of projects that they estimated would attain 96 percent of the safety benefits and 90 percent of the operational benefits of a freeway at less than 50 percent of the cost. This case study has been prepared in coordination with MnDOT and their consultant Bolten-Menk, who documented their approach in the Highway 10 Access Planning Study (2015).
