Putting Research into Practice: Technology Transfer Supports Implementation
A robust technology transfer (T2) program helps get cutting-edge research into the hands of practitioners who just need to know what to do and how to do it — without the methodology behind the findings. In order to improve and transform the transportation system, those making decisions about exactly what improvements are necessary must receive […]
Video Summary Reports Catch On
You might not expect to find many folks on YouTube interested in “automated flagger assistance devices” or “development of very thin overlay systems.” But that’s not the case.
