• Abstract:
  The Exploratory Advanced Research (EAR) Program addresses the need for longer term, higher risk research with the potential for long-term improvements to transportation systems—improvements in planning, building, renewing, and operating safe, congestion-free, and environmentally sound transportation facilities. The EAR Program seeks to leverage advances in science and engineering that could lead to breakthroughs for critical current and emerging issues in highway transportation—where there is a community of experts from different disciplines who likely have the talent and interest in researching solutions and who likely would not do so without EAR Program funding. Through seven solicitations, the EAR Program has awarded 59 projects (36 of which are ongoing as of September 2013) involving both government and academic researchers. These projects represent the investment of $50 million in Federal Highway Administration funds and leverage $19 million in matching funds. Additional projects will be funded in 2014. The following pages contain summary descriptions of the results of selected recently completed research investigations.
