Technology transfer from the US Strategic Highway Research Program to Australia

The U.S. Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) is a results oriented, five-year, US$150m research program targeting four specific technical areas: Asphalt, Concrete and Structures, Highway Operations and Pavement Performance. Australia is participating directly in SHRP in a variety of ways in a bid to maximise the benefits it might receive from the SHRP research. Strategies have been developed to monitor and review progress and to accelerate and facilitate the transfer of technology from SHRP to Australia, A number of the initiatives have been or will be taken to support these strategies.
