The TRL Assessments are an important instrument for evaluating technology maturity within the research and development process. TRL Assessments are flexible evaluation tools and can be used in a variety of settings to fit the needs of the agency conducting them. Having a simple mechanism to determine and communicate technology maturity improves research outcomes and program management. Technology readiness is measured across a spectrum of transportation programs, as shown in figure 6.
