National Road Research Alliance - NRRA
项目名称: National Road Research Alliance - NRRA
摘要: The primary objectives of the National Road Research Alliance (NRRA) are: (1) Conduct structured construction, field testing and evaluation using the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnROAD) cold weather facility; (2) Evaluate pavement materials, equipment and methods under real-world conditions; (3) Establish industry standards and develop performance measure for improving pavement performance; (4) Develop and/or revise specifications and recommendations; (5) Studying and promoting innovative techniques and technologies that will save agencies money, improve safety and increase efficiency; (6) Supporting technology transfer by developing practical field guides, best practices, and training curriculum to promote the results of research projects; (7) Conduct cost-benefit analysis to ensure that new technologies, materials or methods contribute to operational efficiencies; (8) Support the exchange of information and ideas through collaborative research efforts that provide opportunities for public agencies to share experiences. (9) Identify and prioritize common road related research needs to address regional and national issues that are built on existing efforts such as Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA's) Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) and hot mix asphalt (HMA) Roadmaps as well as the Foundation for Pavement Preservation Roadmap; (10) Fund high priority, readily implementable research projects though research contracts and university partnerships; and (11) Leverage knowledge, skills, and resources from participating partners to advances pavement research and implementation efforts while developing the workforce of the future. Support technology transfer that highlights the implementation of research results and the associated benefits.
