Title: Compendium of Work Zone Research, Development, and Technology Transfer Projects 1997-2002
Publication Number: FHWA-OP-02-054
Abstract: Numerous transportation agencies and research groups are conducting research projects and activities that have applications to improving mobility and safety in work zones. To capture these efforts, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has developed an easily accessible compendium of information on recent work zone-related research, development, and technology transfer. The Compendium is a database that provides users with valuable information on other work zone-related efforts and can support personnel in making informed choices about the allocation of funds for future research and projects.
FHWA identified recent and ongoing projects (1997 to present) related to work zone mobility and safety through literature reviews, Web site searches, attendance at research presentations, and interviews conducted within FHWA and with other transportation agency and research personnel. Through these efforts, FHWA identified 332 projects. Each project was documented using a standard database utility. Projects were then classified based on their applicability to different phases of work zone activity (e.g., design, operations) and related subject areas (e.g., worker safety, traffic management). The database compendium of projects provides users with the capability to conduct keyword searches and generate reports.
