The Strategic Highway Research Program II (SHRP II) will be managed by the Transportation Research Board on behalf of the National Research Council. The program will provide for competitive, merit-based selection of research contractors; independent research project oversight; and dissemination of research results. SHRP II is a targeted, short-term, results-oriented program of strategic highway research designed to advance highway performance and safety for U.S. highway users. SHRP II will focus on applied research in four areas order to meet the following goals:
- Safety: Prevent or reduce the severity of highway crashes by understanding driver behavior.
- Renewal: Address the aging infrastructure through rapid design and construction methods that cause minimal disruption and produce long-lived facilities.
- Reliability: Reduce congestion through incident reduction, management, response, and mitigation.
- Capacity: Integrate mobility, economic, environmental, and community needs in the planning and designing of new transportation capacity.
