• Abstract:
  This report presents a discussion of selected techniques that can be used to rank major highway construction projects. A study advisory committee provided recommendations on factors and weights to be used in project ranking. A limited sensitivity analysis of some suggested changes in current sufficiency ratings is presented. Possible techniques that can be used on projects of three types are discussed: (1) added-capacity, (2) upgrade-to-standards, and (3) new location (bypasses, loops, and other new locations). Emphasis is placed on comparing nine different techniques for ranking added-capacity projects by comparing 1,942 added capacity projects.
