Research to Operations: The Pathway to Operational Implementation Presented at the 3 rd National Surface Transportation Weather Symposium, July 28, 2007 by Leland D. Smithson, PE AASHTO SICOP Coordinator

Research to Operations  Identify User Needs Survey Survey Stakeholder Meetings Stakeholder Meetings  Foundational Research and Reports Address User Needs Solutions address the problems Solutions address the problems Solutions are reasonable and affordable Solutions are reasonable and affordable Identify the payoff Identify the payoff

Pathway to Operational Implementation  Proactive Snow & Ice Control Operations Foundational Research SHRP H-350, Road Weather Information Systems by Ed Boselly, 1993 SHRP H-350, Road Weather Information Systems by Ed Boselly, 1993 SHRP H-385, Development of Anti-icing Technology, by Robert Blackburn, 1994 SHRP H-385, Development of Anti-icing Technology, by Robert Blackburn, 1994 FHWA, Manual of Practice for an Effective Anti-icing Program: A Guide for Highway Maintenance Personnel, 1996 FHWA, Manual of Practice for an Effective Anti-icing Program: A Guide for Highway Maintenance Personnel, 1996

Pathway to Operational Implementation  Identify and address the barriers Institutional issues Institutional issues Funds for equipment, chemicals & facilitiesFunds for equipment, chemicals & facilities Funds and time for trainingFunds and time for training Cultural change Cultural change Learn from the success of othersLearn from the success of others Identify the champions Identify the champions Provide field demonstrations Provide field demonstrations EducationEducation Develop effective methods of teaching Develop effective methods of teaching

Pathway to Operational Implementation  Address Emerging Problems Benefit/Cost Study of RWIS and Anti-icing Technologies, by Ed Boselly, 2001 Benefit/Cost Study of RWIS and Anti-icing Technologies, by Ed Boselly, 2001 NCHRP 526, Snow & Ice Control: Guidelines for Materials & Methods, 2004 NCHRP 526, Snow & Ice Control: Guidelines for Materials & Methods, 2004 NCHRP 577, Guidelines for the Selection of Snow & Ice Control Materials to Mitigate Environmental Impacts, 2007 NCHRP 577, Guidelines for the Selection of Snow & Ice Control Materials to Mitigate Environmental Impacts, 2007

Pathway to Meeting Tomorrows Needs  Deepen the science and optimize the results FHWA MDSS, MODSS & Clarus FHWA MDSS, MODSS & Clarus  Benchmark the performance Develop reliable processes Develop reliable processes Share the results Share the results  COMMUNICATIONS is the glue that holds the improvement process together!!!
