Transportation Engineering and Road Research Alliance Rory L. Rhinesmith, P.E Wisconsin DOT Mid Continent Transportation Research Symposium 08/15/2013

Background Research governance structure formed in 2004 to foster a comprehensive road research program Government + industry + academia = dynamic partnership to advance innovation in road engineering and construction Partnering efforts reach beyond Minnesota to include transportation organizations in other states and Europe

TERRA Mission “Enhance the performance and sustainability of the transportation system by developing, communicating, and facilitating implementation of a comprehensive research program on pavement, materials, and related transportation engineering challenges, including issues related to cold climates.”

TERRA Vision “A dynamic partnership of government, industry, and academia that continuously advances innovations in road engineering and construction.”

General Assembly Members Industry Aggregate & Ready Mix Association of MN/RMC Research and Education Foundation American Engineering Testing Associated General Contractors of MN Braun Intertec Caterpillar Concrete Paving Association of MN/American Concrete Pavement Association Flint Hills Resources Mathy Technology and Engineering Services Midstate Reclamation and Trucking MN Asphalt Pavement Association Road Science, A Division of ArrMaz National Norwegian Public Roads Administration United States Federal Highway Association State and Local Iowa DOT Michigan DOT Minnesota DOT Minnesota Local Road Research Board New York State DOT North Dakota DOT Wisconsin DOT University Iowa State University Michigan Tech University National Center for Pavement Preservation University of Minnesota

Strategic Direction Bold, synergistic research program : Research agenda that expands beyond MnROAD focus; leverages power of the group; utilizes diverse funding; engages and benefits members and is recognized nationally Research implemented “on the ground” : Successful and visible implementation of transportation engineering and road research applications Dynamic forum for research interchange : Continuous learning and sharing that enables members to educate each other and adapt to politics and a changing world through easily accessible information and ongoing exchange Proactive partnership expansion : New members identified and recruited to increase research breadth, depth and resources Thriving, changing and sustainable organization : Constant improvement of operational structures, roles, agreements and practices

Structure General Assembly Committees –Executive –Membership Engagement –Communications Research Coordinators Ad Hoc Task Forces

Alliance Successes MnROAD reconstruction Pooled fund membership Pavement Conference

Capacity to anticipate future needs and trends Research partnership expansion Leveraging of funds to meet common goals Improved collaboration between stakeholders: –Public –Private –Industry –Academic Benefits of Alliance

Series of events focusing on transportation engineering and road research Events will be held in TERRA member states Goal is to communicate TERRA activities, innovations, and products through knowledge transfer, exchange, and demonstration Projects and Initiatives TERRA Innovation Series

Projects and Initiatives Pooled Fund State Partnership: Design of Thin & Ultrathin Whitetopping Delivering Design Tool –Meet traffic and environmental demands –Cost effective, long life pavement Providing a National Solution Partner States: MO, MS, MN, PA, TX, NY Total Value: $415,000
