SHRP 2 ReliabilityOutcomes • Performance measures, technical relationships • Reliability requirements for different road users • Guide to design reliability monitoring systems • Model for institutional change toward operations • Technical relationships for HCM, AASHTO design guide, demand models • Interdisciplinary incident response training • Capacity link: inputs to TCAPP, models • Safety link: ways to improve driver behavior
“Implementation” for Safety • Make database accessible to users: long-term stewardship, upgrading, basic user services, security • Train researchers and safety professionals in use of data (new ways of thinking about safety): workshops, sabbaticals, curriculum materials • Technical assistance in data use • Additional analyses: lead to new CM and improved use of existing CM • Demo & evaluate site-based technology
Oversight Committee Charge, December 2009 • AASHTO, FHWA, NHTSA, TRB staff develop coordinated approach to per-implementation (implementation steering group will report) • Technical Coordinating Committees provide recommendations for initial pre-implementation activities
TCC Tasks at April 2009 Meetings • Assess readiness of each product for early implementation activity • For products that are ready, identify next logical steps for implementation • For products not quite ready, consider what needs to be done to move closer to being ready • Generate good ideas to support future implementation activities
“Next Steps” Could Include • Communicate products and value added for general use: marketing, training, etc. • Set up demonstration projects • Perform additional testing and evaluation • Perform related research to “harden” the product or make it more useful • Other …
TCC “Short Lists” • Highest priority next step activities • Contract action must be taken prior to June 2011 • Form the substance of the Year 1 Proposal for Pre-Implementation Activities
