Tools and processes for practitioners

Parkin, John

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to discuss guidance and tools for decision-making and planning. The discussion starts with methods to assess policy, strategy and program level development. This is followed by the technical processes that include mode and route choice modeling that feed into network planning. Design and operational appraisal tools are then considered and they include visualization tools, the modeling of interactions and the operation of the network. As part of a discussion of scheme appraisal, the important topic of the evaluation of health benefits is considered, after which there is a discussion of the generic cost-benefit analysis and multicriteria analysis methodologies. Level of service assessment and auditing is considered before finally turning to monitoring and evaluation.
