96 benefits to increasing the POSI of GPR, a technology application already being considered within MnDOT, and that doing so would add value to MnDOT's bridge operations. Participants supported rooting the assessment in broad agency missions (safety, mobility, etc.)

97 Session 4: Real-Time Application of STREAM to Bridge Deck Inspection In the final session, the research team worked with participants to apply STREAM to bridge deck inspection technologies. This exercise focused on the Characterize and Compare steps in STREAM and used the forms shown in Figure D-1 to solicit participants' rating of the benefits, barriers, and costs of the six alternative technology approaches for bridge deck evaluation that had been discussed.

99 input to workshops and meetings with other DOTs that focus on how an agency would receive and use such input from the Board-sponsored body. Technology Comparison Figure D-2 shows how the six alternatives compare in terms of potential benefits.75 The current approaches -- visual inspection alone and visual inspection coupled with audible inspection -- score the least well.
