Abstract:

This report identifies current needs for highway research and technology (R&T) to address national issues, and proposes new approaches to developing R&T programs. The report's purpose is twofold: first, to identify highway R&T needs to assist sponsoring organizations as they develop their R&T programs and second, but importantly, to demonstrate the value of a partnership approach to carrying out national R&T. This report is a product of the National Highway R&T Partnership, a group convened in late 1998 by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), AASHTO, and the Transportation Research Board (TRB) to engage the full highway transportation community in the identification of R&T needs and to address the benefits to be realized by forming partnerships to fulfill those needs. The report deals mainly with the needs-identification phase.
