Research Pays Off

Help document the benefits of research! Contribute to "Research Pays Off"

“Research Pays Off” is a continuing series of case studies in the Transportation Research Board’s quarterly magazine, TR News. These articles highlight research projects, studies, demonstrations, and improved methods or processes that provide innovative, cost-effective solutions to important transportation-related problems in all modes, whether they pertain to improved transport of people and goods or provision of better facilities and equipment permitting such transport. Articles describe cases in which the application of project findings has resulted in benefits to transportation agencies or the public, or in which substantial benefits are expected.
