Title: Going, Seeing, Showing, and Doing: Low-Tech Technology Transfer Works
Accession Number: 01646203
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: When stakeholders talk directly to each other about a transportation issue, they can address such critical human factors as risk aversion, skepticism, and stress, and can deliver stronger, more lasting solutions to transportation technology implementation challenges. These on-the-ground collaborations enable in-depth exploration and low-risk assessment of new technologies and are augmented easily by high-tech knowledge sharing methods. This article presents case studies that highlight the effectiveness of on-site safety assessments, demonstration showcases, peer exchanges, and other person-to-person technology transfer methods. Examples include: a safety assessment of school traffic in Stanton, California; how demonstration showcases advanced the implementation of accelerated bridge construction and tow plows; and the National Winter Maintenance Peer Exchange spearheaded by the Western Transportation Institute of Montana State University.
