Impacts
A critical stage in the research and technology delivery process is the assessment of how deployed technologies are meeting the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) national mission and strategic goals. There is not one "size" or type of impact assessment process that is...
Analysis, Modeling, and Simulation Overview
Background
FHWA and its State and local agency partners have relied on analysis, modeling, and simulation (AMS) to support investment decisions for the transportation system. As the transportation system environment grows in complexity, increasing pressure is placed on agencies to...
