Welcome - Corporate Research and Technology

Welcome to the Federal Highway Administration's Corporate Research and Technology Web Site

Welcome to the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Corporate Research and Technology (R&T) Web site. This site advances the Agency's role as Innovators for a Better Future. While FHWA has long provided an abundance of R&T information through a network of sites that corresponded to each program office, there has not been a "one-stop shop" Web site that satisfied the broad needs of FHWA's stakeholders desiring a corporate message. This site is the umbrella portal for stakeholders--from highway professionals to the concerned traveling public, to anyone who wants to see a composite picture of FHWA's R&T activities.

The R&T Portfolio provides a topical approach to finding ongoing research being conducted by FHWA. Use the site to identify partnership opportunities and coordinate with federally sponsored R&T activities through FHWA's multiyear Roadmaps and review the 24 Priority, Market-Ready Technologies and Innovations that provide benefits ranging from reduced construction costs to fewer fatalities from median crossovers.

The information on the Web site is organized using a life cycle wheel that moves through five stages, including agenda setting, ongoing research, and assessing impacts. The different segments of the Innovation Life Cycle wheel show that R&T development and deployment are connected activities that constitute a system.

The goal of this Web site is to provide an integrated and comprehensive picture consistent with FHWA's commitment in the Corporate Master Plan for Research and Deployment of Technology & Innovation (FHWA-RD-03-077)to effectively communicate the FHWA R&T program and projects. FHWA welcomes your feedback. For your convenience, FHWA has provided an online comment box located at the lower right-hand side of the FHWA R&T home page.
