SUBTASK 4-4. RESEARCH IN PROGRESS DATABASE (Two parts)<br />
The effort in this subtask is to incorporate various types <strong>of</strong> data from this project into two<br />
databases. The contract requires listings in the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Research<br />
in Progress (RIP) database <strong>and</strong> the FHWA R&D Project Tracking System.<br />
The TRB RIP Database<br />
On the next two pages is a copy <strong>of</strong> the TRB RIP entry for this project. Note that the URL for<br />
this project is given on the page <strong>of</strong> this entry. The general URL for the TRB RIP is<br />
http://rip.trb.org/browse/additions.asp?days=7<br />
The FHWA R&D Project Tracking System<br />
Since the beginning <strong>of</strong> this project, every quarter (<strong>and</strong> sometimes more frequently) WRI has<br />
inquired as to whether the FHWA R&D Project Tracking System was developed <strong>and</strong> ready for<br />
use. Each time through June 20, 2008, FHWA (TFHRC) responded that the system is not yet<br />
ready for use.<br />
Although (obviously) WRI has not seen the format for the FHWA R&D Project Tracking<br />
System, from the title <strong>of</strong> this part <strong>of</strong> Subtask 4-4, it appears to call for the same information that<br />
is already reported in Subtask 4-3. If this is the case it raises the question <strong>of</strong> whether the same<br />
information should be reported twice.<br />
