- Summary:
- "Adequate construction staffing is critical for performance of highway construction projects. The variable nature of these projects, however, can make it difficult to estimate construction staff requirements for both the short and long term. This study gathered information on the methods being used at highway transportation agencies to forecast staffing requirements. These methods are diverse and range from simple heuristics based on generic project types to multi-variate regression models developed from historical project data. Information for this study was acquired through a literature review, surveys of state transportation agencies, and site visits to non-state agencies. Timothy R.B. Taylor and William F. Maloney, University of Kentucky Department of Civil Engineering, Lexington, Kentucky, collected and synthesized the information and wrote the report. The members of the topic panel are acknowledged on the preceding page. This synthesis is an immediately useful document that records the practices that were acceptable with the limitations of the knowledge available at the time of its preparation. As progress in research and practice continues, new knowledge will be added to that now at hand."--Preface.
