Abstract
The interchange design principles developed in this research formed the basis for two types of evaluation criteria: operational and design factors, and community disruption factors. The evaluation methodology for selection of an interchange configuration for a particular location has the following segments: Scrutinize the evaluation criteria to determine which ones are relevant; estimate the initial cost of each reasonable alternative interchange design; develop an effectiveness profile for each such alternative design; and compare the initial cost and the effectiveness profile for each alternative design and select an interchange configuration.
