16. Abstract
This primer is focused on the collaborative
and systematic consideration of management and
operations during transportation project design
and development. This is termed “designing
for operations.” Effectively designing
for operations involves the development and
application of design policies, procedures,
and strategies that support transportation management
and operations. The consideration of operations
needs during the design process requires transportation
design professionals to work closely with those
with expertise in transportation operations,
intelligent transportation and transportation
technology staff, planning, transit, freight,
traffic incident management, and other practitioners
from multiple agencies to fully identify, prioritize,
and incorporate operations needs into the infrastructure
design. This primer introduces the concept for
designing for operations and describes tools
or institutional approaches to assist transportation
agencies in considering operations in their
design procedures as well as pointing out some
specific design considerations for various operations
strategies.
