Abstract

This synthesis discusses performance measures as they relate to research, development, and technology (RD&T) programs. It addresses the general issue of measuring performance, and it details the various activities carried out within state departments of transportation (DOTs), federal and other agencies, the private sector, and academia related to evaluating the effectiveness of RD&T efforts. The synthesis is based on a review of the literature, a questionnaire to state DOTs (research programs, upper management, and operating units), and queries to selected private sector and academic organizations.
