Study Description

The overall goal of the North Central Pavement Research and Implementation Coordination Partnership is to improve the roads in the region by delivering thoughtful and timely research findings for implementation. This will be done by integrating and coordinating the research efforts of the member agencies in order to reduce research duplication, to engage the best research teams, to optimize the use of research dollars, to expedite research solutions, and to effectively communicate research results and issues.

Objectives

This project is beginning its second two-year phase. In order to maximize the impact of available highway research monies, the partnership has the following objectives: - Establish and prioritize short- and long-term common research objectives. - Share and discuss research problem statements, identifying opportunities for coordination. - Collaborate on the implementation of research results. - Discuss issues, research needs, data, and solutions related to pavement research. - Fund and execute short-term research and technology transfer activities.

Scope of Work

In 2008 and 2009, the project will: - Hold technology transfer workshops. - Pilot research or implementation projects. - Further develop the project¿s Web site to capture and coordinate partner research and implementation activities. - Hold teleconferences and face-to-face committee meetings for sharing technical information, collaborating on research of common interest and developing a common research agenda.

Comments

$20,000 per year requested from each state for two years. Still accepting partners. Please contact Andrew Hanz at ajhanz@wisc.edu or 608-262-3835.
