SHRP 2 Report
S2-R16-RR-1: Strategies for Improving the Project Agreement Process
between Highway Agencies and Railroads examines the process by which
highway agencies and railroads develop agreements for highway projects
which interact with railways. The report examines the underlying causes
of delay in the project-agreement process and developed model processes
to address them. The report is available online as an Adobe PDF document and in hardcopy through the TRB bookstore. The
model agreements (Appendix C of the report) is available in Microsoft Word format. An epub version of this report is available for purchase at the Google ebookstore.

Selection Assistant for Utility Locating Technologies (SAULT) is a prototype web-based software tool that serves as decision support for identifying effective utility-locating methods for particular site and project environments. This prototype, which is best viewed in Internet Explorer, is in the beta test phase. You can send your comments on the tool to SHRP2@nas.edu. SAULT is available on the following page.
SHRP 2 Report S2-R01-RW-2: Development of the Selection Assistant for Utility Locating Technologies is the second report published from SHRP 2 Renewal Project R01. While the first publication focused on reporting existing and emerging technologies and recommending subsequent research work in this area, this report presents the development of SAULT. Report S2-R01-RW-2 is available as an Adobe PDF.
