Abstract:
An implementation project was performed to initiate use of TAMSIM and EROW tools in region offices and the Right of Way (ROW) Division. The research team worked with Texas Department of Transportation regional ROW staffs to apply both tools to a set of actual projects, one project from each region. The culminating EROW analysis provided estimates of anticipated outcomes from optimal use of potential early acquisition budgets ranging from $0.5 million to $10 million. Regional workshops utilized the data and information derived from these trial tool applications. TAMSIM and EROW were also demonstrated to ROW Division personnel, and recommendations for potential additional applications were presented. Several tool refinements were made as opportunities were identified during initial usage with district personnel. TAMSIM 2.0 and EROW 2.0 are included in the CD-ROM accompanying this report.
