DEVELOPING THE NEXT GENERATION OF TECHNOLOGICAL AIDS TO EFFECTIVE PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT IN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

Public involvement in the design of complex public infrastructure solutions, such as a new light rail line, often relies on lengthy meetings during which the complexities and subtleties of design preferences, their articulation, and communication can be overwhelming to both participants and design professionals. Such gatherings can produce more confusion than clarity for the public and design professional alike, especially if strong personalities highlight differences and discourage compromise and consensus. More effective methods of discerning, developing, and evaluating the nature of the public's preferences and perspectives, without fostering destructive confrontations, are desirable.
