1 AASHTO Standing Committee on Research July 26, 2011 Accelerating solutions for highway safety, renewal, reliability, and capacity Update

2 Overall Status ~100 contracts; 20 complete; 70 active; a few yet to be awarded 313 separate research entities involved SAFETY-LU extension added $47.8 million; additional funds with FHWA Extended cooperative agreement with FHWA to March 2015 Increasing focus on preparing for implementation

3 Safety Highlights Naturalistic driving study in place in all 6 sites: NY, PA, IN, FL, NC, WA 650+ vehicles on the road Data coming in: 40,000+ trip files 2 minor crashes Roadway data collection to begin this fall: Fugro Roadway First analysis projects later this year Data sharing policies, procedures, website

4 Behind the scenes … 2-year design process 1-year site contractor ID process Manufacture of 2500 custom-designed data acquisition systems Review/approval by 8 (now 6) ethics boards Outfitting the sites (leases, hiring, security, IT, equipment, training, site inspections) 11 custom software to support & installation; custom hardware to support installation Site support & coordination; trouble-shooting

5 Example Uses of NDS Data Improve roadway geometry, signing, markings Improve design of vehicles and in-vehicle devices, warning systems, etc. Improve driver education for teens Develop assistance for older drivers Data-based laws regarding use of hand-held devices (by teens, truckers, all drivers) Planning, highway operations, fuel efficiency, environmental effects

6 Renewal Highlights TRB’s 1 st e-book: DOT-RR project agreement strategies Web-based tools: geotech designs; choosing utility location technologies Demos: IA-replace bridge in 2 weeks; NY- replace bridge over weekend Risk workshops, real-time PCC smoothness measurement, composite pavements, NDT technologies, performance specs for rapid renewal, use existing pavements in place

7 More Examples of Products Modular and composite pavements Risk manual for innovative contracting Integrating utility and DOT priorities Railroad-DOT mitigation strategies Reducing personnel fatigue Innovative project management Performance and incentive specs Corridor/network planning for renewal

8 Reliability Highlights Foundational projects: definitions, measurement, monitoring, training, institutional change/practices Strategic implementation planning workshop Archive for reliability data “Capstone” project: framework for improving reliability, integrates all results

9 Capacity Highlights TCAPPS: for collaborative decision making TPICS: for economic impact analysis Performance measurement All available in as a web-based tool (beta version) Adding: GHG, smart growth, private sector involvement

10 Capacity: Pilots Advanced travel demand models: state and local agencies in Jacksonville, FL, and Sacramento, CA Collaborative decision making tool: CO, WA, MN Green house gas workshops: MA, MN, CO, WA Pilots of ecological tools: CA, CO, OR, WV Strategic plan for freight: global freight research consortium; modeling/data symposium and innovation award

12 Preparing for Implementation TCCs developed plans FHWA, AASHTO, NHTSA reviewing, coordinating Steering group: TRB, FHWA, AASHTO, NHTSA May 10-11 workshop: cross-cutting implementation issues

13 Implementation Coordination Staff Jim McMinimee, AASHTO Joe Conway, Ken Jacoby, FHWA Tim Johnson, NHTSA Jerry DiMaggio, SHRP 2
