SWIFT Contract Number 3000078884

Project Name Evaluation of MnDOT Rural Travel Times During Cons

Project Number (if applicable) 97531W04

Summarize purpose of the contract, including why it was necessary: This project conducted an independent, unbiased evaluation of the Duluth Travel Time During Construction project to describe and document the findings and lessons learned throughout the project.

The Final Evaluation Report included the following: procurement process used; summary and analysis of the weekly travel time data to develop a level of accuracy and latency; analysis of any feedback MnDOT received regarding public perception; examination of feedback received from the travel times on-line survey (as part of MnDOT’s Market Research efforts).

This contract was necessary to provide documentation enabling future decisions on the value of these systems in future MnDOT projects of similar nature (e.g. to identify what worked well and what did not; and to articulate a recap of the project to help MnDOT understand what to expect in similar deployments). It was reasonable to use a contract, due to staff limitations at the time.
