This draft presentation outlines a structured workflow for managing project research methods, including problem analysis, methodology establishment, and data collection. Key steps include identifying stakeholders, contrasting quantitative and qualitative data, and developing alternatives. Data sources such as traffic counts, passenger demand forecasting, and surveys will inform the analysis. The methodology emphasizes objective assessments and predictive techniques. Final recommendations will address project limitations and suggest actionable steps for future work, ensuring thorough evaluation and effective planning.

CE 633 Project Workflow and Research Methods Meeting Draft Presentation 7 October 2014 Flores
Proposed Workflow • Reception of work statement • Establishment of methodology • Problem Analysis • Data Collection • Proposal of alternatives • Evaluation of alternatives • Selection of primary • Recommendations and limitations
Problem Analysis • Identify Stakeholders • Quantitative vs Qualitative • Must be objective and repeatable • Should use methods that can be predictive • Establishes criterion for evaluation
Data Collection Possible data sources: • Traffic Counts • Flight Data • Passenger Demand Forecasting • Surveys e.g. cabbies, bus drivers, Public Safety Officers • Interviews at LEX • Camera footage • Plan views • Photographs Remember: Time is limited
Alternatives 5. Propose Alternatives - Work in groups to come up with ideas 6. Evaluate Alternatives - Apply metrics from problem analysis 7. Selection of Primary - Final plan creation
Recommendations & Limitations • Final, pre-conclusion portion should include discussions of possible errors and limits on the scope of the project • Should also include recommendations and plans for moving forward
