Strategic Highway Research Program Asphalt Research Output and Implementation Program
The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 fully supported the implementation of research results from the $150 million Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP). Successful implementation of SHRP by and large will be measured by successful implementation of the asphalt research. In a unique cooperative spirit, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), and the SHRP Project Management Office have worked together to develop a plan that ensures the research will indeed be implemented. The paper describes important aspects of this partnership and focuses on key elements of the plan. These elements include: The large scale procurement and evaluation of new equipment; Integration of equipment procurement with national training agenda; Use of mobile laboratory support; Integrated activities with standards setting functions of AASHTO; Integrated use of other funding sources for followup research and implementation; and The unique role of users-producer groups and technical working groups that represent public and private interests. Finally, the paper discusses the very critical function of Specific Pavement Study 9 (SPS-9), Validation of the SHRP Superpave (trademark) and Innovations in Asphalt Pavements, in the continuing refinement of the Superpave (trademark) performance models and design methods.
