TRB’s Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) has released a project brief that highlights the activities taking place within SHRP 2’s Renewal focus area related to implementing innovative means to enhance the durability of bridge foundations and components; reduce the cost and time related to bridge design, construction, and repair; and optimize bridge deck inspections.

TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) has released a project brief that provides a snapshot of SHRP 2 progress. Since its authorization in 2005, 50 pilot tests and field demonstrations have been undertaken in 24 states, 35 documents have been published, data are being collected from nearly 1000 cars in the naturalistic driving study, and five invitational work sessi...

TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) has released a project brief that summarizes SHRP 2 Reliability Project L01, which addressed opportunities to employ highway operational efficiencies by making it easier for transportation and other agencies to coordinate their activities. Reliability Project L01 produced a guide and a final report that synthesizes successful practices. T...

TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) has released a project brief that highlights a new tool to help highway agency managers and engineers preserve high-volume roadways in serviceable condition for longer periods of time, at a lower cost, in a safer manner, and with limited disruption to the traveling public. The brief also describes two products available in both print and ...

TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) has released a project brief that highlights Transportation Project Impact Case Studies (T-PICS). T-PICS is a web-based tool designed to allow for economic impacts to more easily be considered during community visioning for transportation, or during public and stakeholder involvement for long-range system planning or corridor planning. Vi...

TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) has released a project brief that highlights several projects from the SHRP 2 Capacity and Reliability focus areas that are working to improve existing planning models, operations models, and activity-based models that are often used to help inform decisions about spending public funds on transportation improvements.

TRB’s Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) has released a project brief that summarizes research preliminary to the SHRP 2 Naturalistic Driving Study.

TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) has released a project brief that summarizes SHRP 2 Project L13, which conducted a feasibility study to assess the technical, economic, and business aspects of developing, operating, and maintaining an archive for data from SHRP 2 Reliability and related research projects.
