Research to Implementation
Research
Research
responds to
known
transportation
challenges
Development Implementation
A research
product
emerges and is
refined through
pilots and other
activities
Potential
implementation
explored
through
knowledge
transfer
Partner
agencies select,
prioritize, and
prepare product
for
implementation
Product is
marketed to
users and
integrated into
standard
practice

SHRP2 Plan of Action
Research (2007 - 2013)
• 100+ research projects
• Administered by TRB
Development (Now through 2015)
• Conversion of research results into 65+ products that
are usable by implementing agencies
• Pilot testing and refinement of products
Implementation (2012 - forward)
• Partner agencies prioritize products for implementation
• State DOTs and other agencies integrate products into
current transportation practices
4
Development Activities
• TRB is underway with development activities to convert
research results into usable products through:
– original research contracts
– extensions to research contracts
– separate development contracts
• Activities include development of:
–
–
–
–
–
–
Guidebooks
Training programs
Model specifications and/or standards
Web tools
Webinars and workshops
Pilot tests of products
• Additional resources may be needed for TRB to complete all
development activities

What Is Implementation?
1. Implementation is the
routine use of a SHRP2
product
2. Carried out by State DOTs
and other implementing
agencies
3. Focus on high-priority
products for national
adoption, with lesser efforts
on other products

2011 Priorities from SCOH Survey and FHWA
AASHTO Implementation Task Force
FHWA Priority Process
Collaboration among TRB, AASHTO, FHWA
Joint FHWA/AASHTO 3-Year Plan
Endorsement by FACA Committee
Detailed Implementation Plans for the entire SHRP 2 Program
and for Products or Groups of Products
• Deployment
Note: a parallel process is underway among TRB, FHWA, NHTSA and
AASHTO to develop an Implementation Plan for Safety
7
Products Prioritized in 2011
• Early products prioritized by AASHTO Standing Committee on
Highways
• AASHTO and FHWA presented a joint recommendation for
products to be implemented early to the FACA Committee for
endorsement in December, 2011
• 2011 Priorities:
– R04 Bridge Designs for Rapid Renewal
– R15B Integrating Utility/Transportation
– R16 Railroad Agreements
– R23 Long-Life Pavements
– R26 Preservation on High Volume Roadways
– L12 Training for Traffic Incident Responders

AASHTO Implementation
Task Force
• The Implementation Task Force (ITF) consisted of a
group of 20 leaders from AASHTO Committees
• Charge was to prioritize products from the Renewal,
Reliability and Capacity focus areas
• Met March 22-23 in Washington, DC
• Members provided background information on
products and priorities of AASHTO committees and
SHRP 2 Technical Coordinating Committees
• Multi-step process to narrow down and rank order
highest priority products
9
FHWA Priority Process
• FHWA program offices reviewed all of the products
to determine how they supported FHWA’s priority
initiatives and their relationship with other ongoing
FHWA programs.
• FHWA agreed with the AASHTO Implementation
Task Force on most priorities.
• Five products rated lower; six were rated higher
priority (including two that AASHTO did not rate as a
priority)
• FHWA also recommended bundling of several
related products.
10
AASHTO/FHWA/TRB Collaboration
• Review with FHWA and AASHTO program
offices of :
– Product readiness and schedule
– Audience readiness
– Additional work needed to make product ready for
transfer
– Work needed by AASHTO and FHWA to be ready
for implementation
– Implementation strategy and resources required
– Potential state DOTs for early deployment
11
Definition of Success
5-6 States/agencies adopt as standard practice
Additional states/agencies follow the lead
AASHTO and FHWA provide continuing support
Private sector buy-in
Positive impact on practice
Cost-effective use of products
12
Key Assumptions
Product
Ready
Audience
Ready
DOTs have
capacity to
utilize
AASHTO and
FHWA have
resources
High priorities
have broad
appeal
Related
products
grouped
3-year plan
financially
constrained
Support for
other
products
Revisit plan
annually
13
Development of 3-Year Plan
• A 3-year plan was jointly agreed to by AASHTO and
FHWA based on the following considerations:
– AASHTO and FHWA priorities
– Year each priority product is ready
– Logical bundling of products
– 6-7 products per year
– Fiscally constrained to $81 million
– Planning level cost estimates
– Set asides for additional and cross cutting items
14
Set Asides Included in Plan
– Safety Implementation
– Additional Product Development/Future Priorities
– Other Product Implementation
– Marketing &Communications
– IT Support
– FHWA, AASHTO, TRB Program Management
