Abstract:The Wisconsin Highway Research Program (WHRP) Steering Committee commissioned an implementation pilot
program in 2006 to facilitate the incorporation of research results into the programs, standards, and processes of
the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT). The program had two main objectives, the first of which
was to provide additional funding for each WHRP Technical Oversight Committee (TOC) that allowed
researchers to work with WisDOT in providing technology transfer presentations and developing draft
specification language or design/construction guidance based on the results of the initial research project. The
second objective was to identify processes and committees responsible for initiating changes that integrated
research results into the standard practice. To support these implementation activities, the WHRP Steering
Committee approved $60,000 in funding, with the intent to distribute evenly amongst the four TOCs to promote
implementation of completed research projects that showed promising results.
