Session Description
The second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) of the Transportation Research Board has been funded by congress to provide a targeted, short-term research program addressing key issues in highway transportation. SHRP 2 is focusing on applied research in the areas of Highway Safety, Renewal, Capacity, and Reliability. The overall goal of the Highway Renewal program is to develop a consistent, systematic approach to performing highway renewal that is rapid, causes minimum disruption, and produces long-lived facilities. One of the important thrust areas of the SHRP 2 program concerns the impact of utility issues on highway renewal projects and several aspects of this issue are being studied. This session will discuss the efforts made in the SHRP 2 funded project to assess the potential for technical innovations in locating utilities, record keeping and marking of utilities and determining the operating characteristics and condition of a utility
