摘要：	Because more resources than ever before have been poured into surface transportation maintenance and reconstruction over the last six years, the United States has kept pace with its infrastructure maintenance needs. However, within the next ten to fifteen years, the number of crucial surface connections and arteries needing major renewal will swell, posing a challenge for officials charged with their stewardship. This document reviews Federal research and technology (R&T) programs aimed at preservation of the surface transportation physical infrastructure through monitoring, maintenance, and rapid renewal. Relevant programs for all modes of transportation were examined, including the airport and port infrastructure that serve as critical connections to the primary surface transportation modes - highway, rail, and transit. This intermodal approach was essential to assure that the study considered the system impacts on surface transportation infrastructure. Chapter 1 of this report summarizes the current condition and performance of the major sectors of the Nation's transportation system. Chapter 2 categorizes the technologies that are likely to improve transport system infrastructure functions and describes DOT programs supporting them. Chapter 3 introduces the major programs designed to facilitate development and dissemination of technology applications to those organizations with responsibility for surface transport physical infrastructure. Chapter 4 offers some observations on programs for facilitating technology transfer, and criteria for success. Chapter 5 presents findings and conclusions. A complete listing of acronyms used in the report is provided in Appendix A.
