  1. Strategic Highway Research Program Moving transportation into the future

  2. What is SHRP 2? • Congressionally authorized research program • Over $2oo million in strategic research • Potential of $350 million for product implementation • Collaboration of AASHTO, TRB, FHWA, NHTSA

  3. Generating Innovative Methods and Tools in Four Areas • Renewal:Rapid and less disruptive methods for long-lasting facilities • Capacity: Collaborating to deliver needed projects faster • Reliability: Operating a more • reliable, less-congested system • Safety: Reducing crashes, saving lives

  4. Why is SHRP 2 Important? Simply put: It has the potential to change the way state departments of transportation do business • By providing new research-based tools and innovative approaches that will better enable us to stretch state and federal investments of taxpayer dollars • And new thinking about what we do and how we do it

  5. What is SHRP2 Delivering? Generating 130+ Products Over 100 studies State DOTs, other users and stakeholders

  6. SHRP 2: Research to Implementation

  7. What’s Happening Now? Delivering the products Research completed in 2013 Transitioning… From Research to Implementation From Researchers to Users From Research world to Real World

  8. AASHTO’s Focus • Develop programs to help States implement SHRP 2 Products • Ongoing activities • Identify Champions • Demo Projects • Survey States, Understand the need • Gather Implementation Data • Develop Communications Plan • Webinars, Implementation plans • Engage AASHTO Committees

  9. 30 Renewal Projects • SHRP 2 R04A- Innovative Bridge Designs for Rapid Renewal (Bridge Demonstration Project • SHRP 2 R06A - Plan for Developing High Speed, Nondestructive Testing Procedures for both Design Evaluation and Construction Inspection • Nondestructive Testing to Identify Concrete Bridge Deck Deterioration • Evaluating Applications of Field Spectroscopy Devices to Fingerprint Commonly Used Construction Materials • Using Both Infrared and High-Speed Ground Penetrating Radar for Uniformity Measurements on New HMA Layers • Nondestructive Testing to Identify Delaminations between HMA Layers • Real-Time Smoothness Measurements on Portland Cement Concrete Pavements During Construction • Development of Continuous Deflection Device for PCC Joints • High-Speed Nondestructive Testing Methods for DefectiveTunnel Linings • SHRP 2 R15 - Strategies for Integrating Utility and Transportation Agency Priorities in Highway Renewal Projects • SHRP 2 R16 - Railroad-DOT Institutional Mitigation Strategies • SHRP 2 R26 - Preservation Approaches for High-Traffic-Volume Roadways
