Title: IMPROVING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF HIGHWAY RESEARCH: REFLECTIONS FROM THE SHRP EXPERIENCE
Abstract: In this article the former executive director of the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) points out three features of effective highway research and discusses how the SHRP experience exemplified these features. First, effective highway research depends on change. Second, change must be for the better; it must improve durability, cost-effectiveness, quality, or safety, or it must benefit the environment. Third, change must be evident in the end product or end service--that is, how highways are built, managed, and maintained.
