SHRP 2 Implementation
Outcomes and Products
July 28, 2010
1
Implementation Report TRB SR 296
• Required in SAFETEA-LU: delivered to
Congress February 1, 2009
• Describe implementable products,
users/stakeholders, barriers, etc.
• Recommend implementation methods,
& mechanisms
• Estimate required resources
• Committee chaired by Kirk Steudle
2
Recommendations
1. Establish implementation program
2. Structure: FHWA to lead; NHTSA role in
safety; partnering with AASHTO, TRB
3. $400 million over 6 years
4. Stakeholder advisory group for whole
program; separate advisory group for
safety
5. Detailed implementation plans
developed and executed

2030
* Performance Management
* Congestion-free America
* Workforce Planning and
Development
* System Preservation
* Research and Emerging
Technology
* Project Delivery
* Climate Change
* Freight
* Communicating the Value
of Transportation
SHRP 2 The Life Cycle Approach
Construction
Procurement
Design
Operations & Maint
Planning
Example SHRP 2 Products
• Technical input for design and construction specifications
• Standard details and plans
• Methods: analysis, design, construction, inspection,
monitoring, data collection, research protocols (manuals)
• Software, databases, web-based tools
• Institutional strategies, processes (guidelines); model
agreements
• New products, equipment, materials, processes, systems,
tests
• Demonstrations, pilot studies
• Case studies, examples, best practices
• Plans: evaluation, monitoring, implementation, marketing,
future research
• Reports, papers, presentations, annotated bibliography
• Training, certification programs

SHRP 2 Reliability
Outcomes
•
•
•
•
•
Performance measures, technical relationships
Reliability requirements for different road users
Guide to design reliability monitoring systems
Model for institutional change toward operations
Technical relationships for HCM, AASHTO
design guide, demand models
• Interdisciplinary incident response training
• Capacity link: inputs to TCAPP, models
• Safety link: ways to improve driver behavior
“Implementation” for Safety
• Make database accessible to users: longterm stewardship, upgrading, basic user
services, security
• Train researchers and safety
professionals in use of data (new ways of
thinking about safety): workshops,
sabbaticals, curriculum materials
• Technical assistance in data use
• Additional analyses: lead to new CM and
improved use of existing CM
• Demo & evaluate site-based technology

Oversight Committee
Charge, December 2009
• AASHTO, FHWA, NHTSA, TRB staff
develop coordinated approach to perimplementation (implementation
steering group will report)
• Technical Coordinating Committees
provide recommendations for initial
pre-implementation activities
10
TCC Tasks at April 2009 Meetings
• Assess readiness of each product for
early implementation activity
• For products that are ready, identify
next logical steps for implementation
• For products not quite ready,
consider what needs to be done to
move closer to being ready
• Generate good ideas to support
future implementation activities
11
“Next Steps” Could Include
• Communicate products and value
added for general use: marketing,
training, etc.
• Set up demonstration projects
• Perform additional testing and
evaluation
• Perform related research to “harden”
the product or make it more useful
• Other …
12
The Implementation Continuum
IMPLEMENTATION PLANNING/PREPARATION
• Development of program structure and governance • Inventory of resources • General planning by focus area • Detailed planning by product or product groups
INITIAL
RESEARCH
EXTENSION
OF
RESEARCH
IMPLEMENTATION
SUPPORT
ACTIVITIES
Moving research
outcome to point
where it is a usable
product
Activities that
directly support the
use of the products
 Prototype development
 Field & lab tests, evaluations, pilot tests, shakedowns,
anything that would lead to redesign
 Post-test design revision
 Intra-and inter-focus area integration, product bundling
 Integration with relevant external applications or
research
 User tool development (interfaces, viewing tools,
reduced data sets)
 Additional analyses (validation studies, new
approaches, geographical or institutional influences)
 Adaptive research (reconfigure to serve other markets,
other uses of data)
 Additional case studies
 Addition IDEA projects
 Database capture
 Development of draft
standards
 User guides, manuals
 Development of
training materials
 Conduct of training
 External impact
analysis
 Creation of and
support for user
groups
 Begin development of
B/C ratios and ROI
scenarios
 Road shows
 Loaner programs
Most of what SHRP 2
is doing.
EARLY
IMPLEMENTATION
Actual use of the
product in the field
 Identification and
training of lead users
 Field demonstrations
and trials
 Technical assistance
 Grant-in-aid programs
to faster use: cover
delta costs, Highways
for LIFE, fellowships,
prices
Accompanied by:
 Evaluations
 Improvement of draft
standards
 Capture of experience
(lessons learned)
LONGER
TERM
ACTIVITIES
Ongoing support
and enhancement of
products
 Continuing T2
 Augmentation of and
support for databases,
web tools, software
 Long-term monitoring
of demo projects and
lead state activities,
including B/C, ROI
 “Final”standards
 Incorporation into
curricula
 Mechanisms for
continuing
improvement
 Equip. development,
marketing (public or
private?)
OUTREACH, COMMUNICATION, FEEDBACK
• Speakers Bureau • Specialty conferences • Facilitated, hands-on workshops • Focus area summary reports • Newsletters, articles, videos, use of social networking
technologies • Newsgathering: facts, quotes, early experiences for inclusion in videos and articles • Webinar series

TCC “Short Lists”
• Highest priority next step activities
• Contract action must be taken prior
to June 2011
• Form the substance of the Year 1
