Abstract:

The Transportation Research Board (TRB) hosted a conference, Rebuilding and Retrofitting the Transportation Infrastructure, at the Keck Center in Washington, D.C., in September 2017. This meeting was the 11th in a series of Spotlight Conferences funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology, University Transportation Centers (UTC) Program. This event provided an opportunity to share ideas and needs about transportation infrastructure and to explore opportunities to enhance transportation performance, offering an interactive format to engage in productive dialogue. It brought together those who generate new concepts and address transportation problems and opportunities and those who own and manage transportation systems. The conference, which was characterized by broad and active participation and discussion, considered potential research to address issues associated with rebuilding and retrofitting transportation infrastructure. The conference included plenary sessions focused on the role of policy and guidance and emerging and future technologies. Conference participants had the opportunity to hear about and discuss issues and areas for further research in four concurrent breakout sessions and to interact with poster authors. Speakers in the closing plenary session highlighted the topics and research ideas discussed in the breakout groups. This report consists of edited presentations from the plenary session and summaries from the three sets of four concurrent breakout sessions. Abstracts from posters are also provided.
