6. SHRP2 Implementation: Moving Us Forward

7. SHRP2 Implementation: Moving Us Forward As of November 2015:

8. What’s Next? • Evaluation • Product level • Program level • Education Connection • Maximizing the results of round 1 • Planning for round 2 • Product future… • Determining the best home for the products • Planning for post IAP product support

9. SHRP2 in the Field • 430+ projects underway across the country • Why? • Strong Implementation Planning • Implementation Assistance Program • Focused Communications and Materials • Outreach to States Through Conferences and Meetings • Implementation Funding • Organizational Support (including additional technical assistance) • Credibility of the program, with the AASHTO/FHWA partnership

10. Some Exciting Examples

11. Railroad-DOT Mitigation Strategies Railroad-DOT (R16) Product • 7 model documents • Compilation of best practices • Facilitated workshops and training • Community of Interest Benefits • Fewer project delays • Reduced planning costs • Safer projects and work zones • More streamlined processes • Better coordination and cooperation • Less risk! 11

12. Florida Implementation Flagging Agreement • Flagging Agreement with CSX • Best practices identified • CSX flagmen paid by FLDOT on demand/whenever needed • Results • Savings of approximately $200,000 Example FDOT construction project with railroad impacts – SR60 to I-4 Connector

13. TxDOT Model and Approach TxDOT internal streamlined practices: • Streamlined the Union Pacific Railroad Agreements • Electronic submittals of agreements to the various railroads. • Railroads can quickly load it into their agreement management system and obtain internal approvals. • Tracks agreements sent to the railroad representative. • Railroads cam quickly upload the agreement and do their legal/other reviews. Results • Reduced railroad agreement processing from 16+ weeks to as little as 4-6 weeks when using standard format agreements. • Reduced simple maintenance agreements (2/3 of our State projects) from 2-3 month turnaround to less than 1 month.

14. Freight Modeling and Data Improvement (C20) • C20 Offers: • Documentation and data required for effective freight modeling, data collection, and decision making. • A strategic plan to advance improvements in freight planning; promote continuous innovation; and foster a collaboration between all stakeholders. • Benefits: • Gives freight planners and decision makers tools and data to consistently evaluate projects that affect freight movement. • Helps state, regional, and local planners better predict movement trends and make informed project investment decisions. 10

15. Winston-Salem Urban Area MPO C20 Project Launched local data pilot to: • Identify key freight nodes in the region. • Collect survey data to better understand key attributes and trip making characteristics of regional freight facilities. Project was first phase of a three-phased plan to develop an enhanced freight component for the Piedmont Triad Regional Model.

16. Resulted in Valuable Data Results of pilot, completed in June 2015: • Data now available that can be used to inform land use planning, transportation planning, and project prioritization from the standpoint of freight. • Lessons learned: Identified methodology for delivering the survey and collecting data from the freight agencies. “We learned a valuable lesson; don’t start with a design objective, start with a communications objective. Our project became a success after we found various ways to communicate with the freight industry.” – Fredrick Haith,Transportation Engineer, Winston-Salem

17. Technologies to Enhance Quality Control on Asphalt Pavements • Problem: Thermal streaks can be very damaging, depending on the level of density achieved in localized areas. Can lead to longitudinal and centerline segregation, overall poor asphalt quality • SHRP2 Solutions– R06C • Infrared Thermography: Scanners attached to pavers enable real-time readings while paving is occurring. • Ground-Penetrating Radar uses E-M waves detect objects and determine distance from the object

18. Who Is Using IR? • Alaska – included IR in specifications for two pilot projects this summer; using incentive/disincentives. • Missouri– Letting a project this summer, again with incentives/disincentives. • Alabama– Draft specificationson one project. • Minnesota and Texas – Using IR in all specs. • Michigan – Went to the MoDOTshowcase and now is planning a workshop for their staff and industry folks. Testing at Anchorage Airport Project

19. GPR in Testing Phase • Recent Nebraska Test • 30 NEDOT staff participated • Night field demonstration on Highway 2 – urban 4-lane arterial closed for this work • NEDOT was putting down a 2-inch overlay with 50% RAP from the millings on the project • Benefits: • Provides feedback during paving operations to maximize performance • Enables DOTs to evaluate innovative construction methods • Minimizes need for coring • Can “see” 200 ft on both sides of a longitudinal joint

20. National TIM Responder Training Program • The National Traffic Incident Management (TIM) Responder Training program trains teams of responders to work together in a coordinated manner through a set of practices and advanced standards. • Enables safer and faster clearance of traffic crashes. • Teams of responders learn to use safer and more-effective on-scene techniques. • Numerous reports from across the country of its effectiveness in the field.

21. Nearly 200,000 Trained!

22. What’s Coming Up? • Ongoing Safety Research in Phase 2 – Eight states and nine teams working on critical issues – Findings expected in Spring 2017 • Presentations at AASHTO Committees throughout the summer • MAASTO – MoDOT on Pavements • SASHTO – FLDOT on Safety; TxDOT on Rail/DOT Mitigation Strategies (R16); ALDOT on Pavements • Showcase on NDT for Tunnel Linings (R06G) – September 2016 • Showcase on Pavement Delamination (R06D) and Fingerprinting Construction Materials (R06B) – Late Fall 2016 • Peer exchange on Performance Specs (R07) – September 2016
