INTRODUCTION
The Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) mission is to improve mobility on the Nation's highways through national leadership, innovation,
and program delivery. This includes developing, testing, and deploying technologies to build longer lasting pavements and more durable bridges, as
well as advancing highway safety and traffic management through the creation of advanced traffic models and reflective materials. To advance this
mission, FHWA's Office of Research, Development, and Technology (RD&T), located at the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC)
in McLean, VA, conducts a comprehensive research program in the areas of Infrastructure Research and Development (R&D), Operations R&D,
and Safety R&D. The Office of Corporate Research, Technology, and Innovation Management (https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/research/tfhrc/offices/corporateresearch/) and the Office of
Resource Management support the RD&T research program. The new Exploratory Advanced Research Program focuses on longer-term, higherrisk
research with a high payoff potential. RD&T research initiatives are intended to provide innovative solutions that address current and emerging
transportation issues.
The following tables, which correspond to major RD&T offices and initiatives at TFHRC, provide representative examples of the Office of RD&T's
activities in fiscal years 2007 and 2008 geared toward conducting research, deploying products and technologies, and providing communications
and resource management support. FHWA is publishing this information as part of its commitment to identify, develop, promote, and install new and
proven technologies and innovative solutions to improve system performance. This report documents completed research. As new activities
innovations are initiated, they will be posted at https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/research/tfhrc/.
Each table provides summary information on the individual research projects. For each project, information is included on its projected impact on
FHWA's strategic goals, the percentage of the work that has been accomplished, information about whether the project is on schedule and within
budget, its anticipated completion date or date when it was completed, and the availability of a resulting product. Contact information for more
details on each project is also included.
As the products identified in this document suggest, FHWA continues to be a leader in developing and deploying innovative solutions to national
transportation challenges.

This will provide the support necessary for faster detector polling and information processing, which is required for Cooperative Intersection Collision Avoidance Systems (CICAS) and vehicle infrastructure integration (VII) research. Phases I and II are complete. A draft final report for Phase II is under review. Phase III will develop a version of the software suitable for on-street use by traffic signal vendors. The software is undergoing lab testing in Los Angeles, CA, after which field testing will begin. An initiative for transfer of the technology to the signal vendors is planned but currently unfunded. | Traffic Control and Operations | | Traffic Detector Handbook |
