• Abstract:
  Technology Transfer has been a central goal the University Transportation Center for Alabama (UTCA) since its inception in 1999. This report documents the accomplishments of the third year of UTCA Technology Transfer as a formal program. As a result of this program, UTCA was active in technology transfer and published five research briefs, sponsored more than 10 short courses, as well as a specialty bridge conference and two symposiums showcasing UTCA-derived research, in addition to a number of ancillary activities where UTCA has been positively represented. The third year of the UTCA built upon the technology transfer foundations developed under UTCA Project 03217, UTCA Technology Transfer Program and continued under project 04313, UTCA Annual Technology Transfer Program Continuation. In particular, the project established tech transfer program as a continuing entity within UTCA. The third year focused more on expanding the range of UTCA technology transfer efforts beyond the promotion of only UTCA-funded projects and events. It is recommended that, as the program continues, it begin incorporating research results from sources other than UTCA into its technology transfer products (symposium, short courses, etc.). Specifically, it is recommend that the 2006 UTCA Research Symposium feature research presentations from other University Transportation Centers in the nation as well as promote participation by U.S. Department of Transportation agencies.
