2009 Critical issues in TransportationExecutive Committee of Transportation Research Board

• Increasing Congested Transportation Facilities across all Modes

• Energy, Environment, and Climate Change Require New Approaches

• Infrastructure: enormous, aging asset ol to preserve and maintain

• Finance: Inadequate Revenue• Emergency Preparedness, Response and Mitigation• Highway Safety: Insufficient Improvements• 20th Century Institutions Mismatched to 21Century

Missions• Inadequate Investment in Innovations

SHRP 2

• Authorized in SAFETEA-LU

• $170 million, 7 years

• First research contracts signed 2/07

• Administered by TRB under MOU with FHWA and AASHTO

• 3-tiered stakeholder governance: 400-500 volunteers serving on 40-50 committees/panels

Safe Highways

Better TransportDecisions

ReliableTravel Time

Great Customer Service

Rapid Renewal and Lasting Facilities

Providing outstanding customer service for the 21st Century

Four Research Focus AreasSafety: safer driving through knowledge of

driver, roadway, vehicle factors in crashes, near crashes, ordinary driving

Renewal: rapid, minimum disruption highway renewal producing long-lasted facilities

Reliability: more reliability travel times through management of non-recurring events

Capacity: new highways that meet environmental, community, economic needs

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

Potential Users and Beneficiaries• Taxpayers• Motorists• Commercial drivers• Bus riders• Shipping and logistics

professionals• Environmental agencies• Communities, businesses

and event owners• Railroads • Utilities

• Auto manufacturers and suppliers

• MPOs• Law enforcement

providers• Firefighters• EMS providers• Highway designers,

contractors and suppliers

• State and local transportation agencies

SHRP 2 SafetyResearch Focus Area

“Make a significant improvement in highway safety”

Safer driving through knowledge of driver, roadway, & vehicle factors in crashes, near crashes, ordinary driving

43,000 deathsMillions of injuries

$200+ billion/year economic costs

Why a Naturalistic Driving Study?

• Strategic focus on the driver

• Collect more and better data:• Objective pre-crash data• More accurate crash data• Near crash/incident data• “Exposure” (ordinary driving) data

• Determine relative crash risk for different factors

• Develop crash surrogates

SHRP 2 Plans• Instrument 1950 vehicles in 6 sites:

– Vehicle: speed, acceleration, etc.– Front radar; 4 cameras views

• Other data:– Driver assessment – Roadway/roadside data– Detailed crash investigations

• Develop analytical methods• Answer high-priority safety questions• Make data available for continued

analysis after SHRP 2

Use of NDS Data: Examples

• Distracted driving: policies, laws on use of hand-held devices, texting, etc., for teens or broader population

• Drowsiness: policies, regulations for commercial drivers• Vehicle design/technologies: integrate advanced

technologies to minimize or reduce distraction, evaluate crash warning algorithms

• Education: feedback to teens and parents• Roadway: improved design, operations, signage,

hardware, etc.• Other: planning, highway operations, fuel efficiency,

environmental effects

THE SHRP 2 IMPLEMENTATION PHASE

• Required Report to Congress, February, 2009• Funding level $400 Million ?• TRB (SHRP2), FHWA, AASHTO, NHTSA Implement

the Program• Many Products: tools, technical guidance,

techniques and processes• Deployment Activities: training, pilot projects,

technical information, demonstration projects, technical assistance and product showcases.

Feedback to Congress on implementation success and value added

TRB S.R. 296 Recommendations: Summary

1. A SHRP 2 implementation program should be established

2. FHWA should serve as the principal implementation agent in partnership with AASHTO, NHTSA and TRB

3. Funding: $ $400 million for 1st 6 years

4. Establish a formal stakeholder advisory structure

5. Develop detailed implementation plans

Principles

• Establish principal implementation agent early

• Involve stakeholders

• Communicate ceaselessly

• Prioritize products for optimal success

• Choose the right implementation strategies

• Balance divergent and convergent approaches

Implementation Activities

• TRB, FHWA and AASHTO implementation staff • Form SHRP 2 Implementation Steering

Committee • Form Communication and Marketing work group• Prepare product lists based on a strategic

approach• “Early products”— Railroads, Utilities, Land Use,

TCAPP, Performance Measures• Extensive national and international outreach

program: meetings and presentations

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

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

is doing.

Moving research outcome to point

where it is a usable product

Activities that directly support the use of the products

Actual use of the

product in the field

Ongoing support and enhancement of

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
