Abstract:Over the past 2 years, the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC) researchers conducted 170 research projects in support of the Agency's goals. Sixty-six of those projects were completed during the Fiscal Year (FY) 2004/2005 Plan timeframe. As a result, 50 ready-to-use products are now available to our customers. A total of 26 projects were completed in support of the Safety goal, and 40 projects were completed in support of the Mobility and Productivity goal. A number of these projects also support Agency objectives in the Environment and National Homeland Security goal areas. Eighty-nine projects from the FY 2004/2005 Plan are multiyear projects and will continue in FY 2006 or beyond. Further details on projects that were conducted and completed during the FY 2004/2005 period or that are ongoing for FY 2006 or beyond are available in the Research Development and Technology (RD&T) FY 2005 Research Project Status Tables. Funding challenges were an ongoing issue in FY 2005. RD&T worked through a number of changes to project schedules and delays. Many changes and delays were due to funding uncertainties caused by the numerous short-term extensions to FHWA's authorization prior to the passage of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). Fifteen projects cited funding as a cause for delay or halting of research.
