Samenvatting
Each year, millions of dollars are spent on highway-related research. However, once an innovation has emerged from that research, it is difficult to determine how much it will cost to inform the transportation community about the new development. This article provides an overview of videoconferencing, one possible solution to this problem which has shown great promise. Sections are devoted to the predecessors of videoconferencing, federal use of videoconferencing, and experience within the highway industry with this form of information sharing.
