Comment and Summary Evaluation

Evaluators are making decisions basing on the alternatives to the Intelligence Transportation System (ITS). One of them said the alternatives given as the only solution to the proposed alternatives. He also said that this seems to be the only solution to the traffic crises. There are other possibilities of other solutions on the same but not mentioned. Other Evaluators says that the alternatives given are best suited regarding the operations rather than the users who are intended to use the ITS. Alternative two is more of technological and adds more of the alternative one. Junyi sham adds more comments concerning alternative three as the ways of reconstructing the new roads. The wider the road, the more the traffic and subsequent creates the effect on the congestion of the road users. One of the other evaluators said to focus on how the road designing engineering will help to curb the ITS solution. It is a bit ambiguous. There seems to be a problem with alternative one. In fact, it is not offering new solutions to ITS problem. It elaborates more on the existing problems. This needs to be revisited and redone in other ways. Kevin Farrell adds more on what is required on the alternative two. HE also said that I had a good idea, but he needs to explain more with the aid of visual diagrams. Therefore, it calls for change.

The working document should be proofread well, and all the figures are cited well. I should add more large figures and clarify on the objectives. Christian comments on the avoidance of technical road design engineering. It should be used here. Alternative one confuses Chris on its application when it comes to road design engineering. He doesn’t understand why the I introduced CCTV as part of the ITS solution. Alternative three does not qualify to be an ITS solution. Also, all the objectives should be specific and clear, and also, all figures must be well captured.

Lastly, congested roads should be avoided as an ITS solution. This may be improved on a real data collection technology. Use of CCTV cameras and GPS must be emphasized in addressing these ITS problems. Also, road design could implement active traffic management for user awareness. The common theme here is alternative one.

My evaluation calls for some corrections especially for the objectives and alternative one as many people have commented it negatively. This is not what I expected, but if multiple people have the call for improvement, then I have no option rather than to change what they have mentioned. By changing or making all the necessary correction, my document and plans to address the ITS problems in depth as opposed to earlier approach. This will ensure that my material attains the expected standards from all the evaluators. I will readjust my solutions by using more specific objectives and using alternatives that current and geared towards the solution of ITS.
