Performance Measurement and Evaluation Support Plan: University of Washington ITS4US Deployment Project \u2013 Phase 1 [Title from Cover]

693JJ321C000004This document discusses the Performance Measurement and Evaluation Support Plan (PMESP) for the University of Washington (UW) ITS4US Deployment Project, which is developing and deploying the Transportation Data Equity Initiative (TDEI). This project currently is in Phase 1, planning and systems engineering development, in which the preliminary idea is developed into a structured concept that is suitable for further design, building, testing, and operation. The structured concept will include identifying specific performance measures, targets, and capabilities associated with performance monitoring and performance management. The PMESP is informed by the project\u2019s Concept of Operations (ConOps), the Safety Management Plan (SMP), and the Data Management Plan (DMP). The ConOps describes how the project will operate, as well as how those operations both meet the needs that motivated the project and the specific technical requirements from which the project is built. The SMP describes potential hazards that users of the deployed system might encounter and how the project will keep those users as safe as possible, while the DMP describe how data being collected for the project will be stored and shared, while maintaining the privacy of individuals participating in the project. These documents inform the PMESP, in that they describe the key topics that need to be evaluated, as well as the sources of the data that are needed to perform those evaluations, This document is intended to be a living document. While performance measurements and evaluation recommendations are identified in this document, those plans are subject to refinement in Phase 2, as the project engineering is completed and deployed. It is anticipated that input from the USDOT\u2019s selected independent evaluation team, led by the Volpe Transportation Systems Center (Volpe) will be incorporated into future PMESP versions as those revisions and refinements are identified
