Transportation Planning, Research and Education

 

To provide funds to conduct research and development on innovative transportation systems and related applied technologies.

Active 20.931 Office of The Secretary, Department of Transportation B - Project Grants Fiscal Year 2016 Conducted applied research in commercial remote sensing and spatial information technologies for application to national transportation infrastructure development and construction. The Program investigated, developed and validated new applications and provided products to monitor and assess infrastructure condition of bridges, pavements and other transportation infrastructure. In addition, the Program developed remote sensing applications to optimize freight movements in urban areas and in and around ports. Spatial information technologies, such as GIS and GPS systems, were deployed to assist in these research investigations.
