The Second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP2 Solutions): Tools for the Road Ahead

About SHRP2

The Center for Research and Education in Advanced Transportation Engineering Systems (CREATEs) of the Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering at Rowan University created educational modules for the Second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP2 Solutions): Tools for the Road Ahead. These modules were created as part of the Strategic Highway Research Program II (SHRP2) Education Connection project, which was funded by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT).

These educational modules explore the following topics:
  • Advanced Transportation Engineering Lab
    • Background
      • Transportation Planning
  • Introduction of Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP2)
  • Education Connection: Introduction to Infrastructure

What is SHRP2?

Save lives. Save money. Save time.

SHRP2 Solutions offer new technologies and processes to enhance the efficiency of transportation agencies.

  • Products developed from objective, credible research
  • Solutions that respond to transportation community challenges – safety, aging infrastructure, congestion
  • Tested products, refined in the field
Focus Areas
  • Safety: fostering safer driving through analysis of driver, roadway, and vehicle factors in crashes, near crashes, and ordinary driving
  • Renewal: rapid maintenance and repair of the deteriorating infrastructure using already-available resources, innovations, and technologies
  • Reliability: reducing congestion and creating more predictable travel times through better operations
  • Capacity: planning and designing a highway system that offers minimum disruption and meets the environmental and economic needs of the community
