3 Several other closely related fields may offer insight into how to structure trade-offs to ensure the best decisions. Many of the tools, techniques, and processes currently utilized as part of the transportation field can be adapted for use in trade-off analysis, and some agencies have begun to incorporate them into everyday operations.
