69 A p p e n d i x B Traffic Analysis Toolbox Volume I: Traffic Analysis Tools Primer (2004), developed by the FHWA, provided the starting point for an exhaustive list of software tools (Generic Traffic Analy- sis Tools, Table B.1). These tools were classified based on the transportation modeling categories (i.e., sketch planning, travel demand model, traffic signal optimization, analytic/ deterministic, macroscopic, mesoscopic, microscopic, and whether it is a tool suite). From the identified packages that were listed, a short list of packages that have been used, or have the potential to be used, for work zone analysis was compiled. The packages were rated based on the total num- ber of characteristics available in the software and the charac- teristics important to assessing their capability to evaluate work zone impacts. Based on the functionalities discussed in Chapter 2, the results of the software evaluation are tabu- lated in this appendix (Tables B.2–B.12). Results of the Software Evaluation

TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) S2-R11-RW-1: Strategic Approaches at the Corridor and Network Level to Minimize Disruption from the Renewal Process documents the development of the work zone impact and strategy estimator (WISE)--a decision support software system designed to help evaluate the impact of work zones and determine strategies to reduce those impacts.

In addition, SHRP 2 Renewal Project R11 produced the WISE Software Users Guide, which explains how to use the software. A project brief summarizes the results of the study.

These training materials were created as a part of the R11 project: the Instructor Guide, Participant Workbook, Lesson Plan, and PowerPoint.

The R11 project also produced a pilot report that documents testing of the WISE software.

Installation instructions, including the serial number, are available in the user guide.

The WISE decision support software is available for download from TRB's website.
