摘要: Technology transfer occurs with the application of every innovation; it is an unseen yet integral part of the transportation system. Because technology transfer enables innovations to realize their benefits, the topic is an important one to consider. Therefore, this synthesis reviews the technology transfer practices currently used within the highway transportation community. It documents successful practices, discusses challenges encountered, and puts forth needs to promote improvements for technology transfer activities and processes. Technology transfer is defined as the activity leading to the adoption of a new-to-the-user product or procedure by any user or group of users. New-to-the-user means any improvement over existing technologies or processes and not only a recent invention or research result. Technology transfer includes research results implementation and product or process deployment. Activities leading to the adoption of innovations can include knowledge transfer, training and education, demonstrations and showcases, communications and marketing efforts, and technical assistance. In addition, in this transportation context, technology transfer includes the complex process of change, a comprehensive achievement dealing with cultural as well as technical issues.
