Book excerpt: The Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA's) technology applications program covers all areas of highway technology, including asphalt and concrete pavements, environment, structures, geotechnology, hydraulics, safety, motor carriers, and traffic operations and management. The program also includes activities related to the implementation of the products from the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) and the administration of the Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) for the FHWA. This publication focuses on the four categories that, for the most part, make up the technology applications program: demonstration, application, test and evaluation, and special. Technical activities are assigned to one of the categories depending on the stage of the technology, and, after development, what technology transfer or marketing approach would be most useful in reaching the intended users. Each project write-up in the four categories includes its project number, its title, description and status section, and the name, organization code, and telephone number for the project manager and, where appropriate, for a project coordinator. The description section includes information about the reasons for initiating the project and the background and processes related to the individual project. The status section includes a discussion of the current and some past activities of the project. This publication includes a project number index, an index to SHRP projects, and a subject area index.
