• Abstract:
  A vast storehouse of information exists on nearly every subject of concern to highway ; administrators and engineers. Much of this information has resulted from both research ; and the successful application of solutions to the problems faced by practitioners in their ; daily work. Because previously there has been no systematic means for compiling such ; useful information and making it available to the entire community, the American Association ; of State Highway and Transportation Officials has, through the mechanism of the ; National Cooperative Highway Research Program, authorized the Transportation Research ; Board to undertake a continuing project to search out and synthesize useful ; knowledge from all available sources and to prepare documented reports on current ; practices in the subject areas of concern. ; This synthesis series reports on various practices, making specific recommendations ; where appropriate but without the detailed directions usually found in handbooks or design ; manuals. Nonetheless, these documents can serve similar purposes, for each is a ; compendium of the best knowledge available on those measures found to be the most ; successful in resolving specific problems. The extent to which these reports are useful ; will be tempered by the user’s knowledge and experience in the particular problem area.
