NATIONAL COOPERATIVE HIGHWAY RESEARCH PROGRAM Systematic, well-designed, and implementable research is the most effective way to solve many problems facing state departments of transportation (DOTs) administrators and engineers. Often, highway problems are of local or regional interest and can best be studied by state DOTs individually or in cooperation with their state universities and others. However, the accelerating growth of highway transporta- tion results in increasingly complex problems of wide interest to high- way authorities. These problems are best studied through a coordinated program of cooperative research. Recognizing this need, the leadership of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) in 1962 ini- tiated an objective national highway research program using modern scientific techniquesâthe National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP). NCHRP is supported on a continuing basis by funds from participating member states of AASHTO and receives the full cooperation and support of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), United States Department of Transportation, under Agree- ment No. 693JJ31950003. The Transportation Research Board (TRB) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine was requested by AASHTO to administer the research program because of TRBâs recognized objectivity and understanding of modern research practices. TRB is uniquely suited for this purpose for many reasons: TRB maintains an extensive com- mittee structure from which authorities on any highway transportation subject may be drawn; TRB possesses avenues of communications and cooperation with federal, state, and local governmental agencies, univer- sities, and industry; TRBâs relationship to the National Academies is an insurance of objectivity; and TRB maintains a full-time staff of special- ists in highway transportation matters to bring the findings of research directly to those in a position to use them. The program is developed on the basis of research needs iden- tified by chief administrators and other staff of the highway and transportation departments, by committees of AASHTO, and by the FHWA. Topics of the highest merit are selected by the AASHTO Special Committee on Research and Innovation (R&I), and each year R&Iâs recommendations are proposed to the AASHTO Board of Direc- tors and the National Academies. Research projects to address these topics are defined by NCHRP, and qualified research agencies are selected from submitted proposals. Administration and surveillance of research contracts are the responsibilities of the National Academies and TRB. The needs for highway research are many, and NCHRP can make significant contributions to solving highway transportation problems of mutual concern to many responsible groups. The program, however, is intended to complement, rather than to substitute for or duplicate, other highway research programs.

e National Academy of Sciences was established in 1863 by an Act of Congress, signed by President Lincoln, as a private, non- governmental institution to advise the nation on issues related to science and technology. Members are elected by their peers for outstanding contributions to research. Dr. Marcia McNutt is president. e National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964 under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences to bring the practices of engineering to advising the nation. Members are elected by their peers for extraordinary contributions to engineering. Dr. John L. Anderson is president. e National Academy of Medicine (formerly the Institute of Medicine) was established in 1970 under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences to advise the nation on medical and health issues. Members are elected by their peers for distinguished contributions to medicine and health. Dr. Victor J. Dzau is president. e three Academies work together as the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to provide independent, objective analysis and advice to the nation and conduct other activities to solve complex problems and inform public policy decisions. e National Academies also encourage education and research, recognize outstanding contributions to knowledge, and increase public understanding in matters of science, engineering, and medicine. Learn more about the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine at www.nationalacademies.org. e Transportation Research Board is one of seven major programs of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. e mission of the Transportation Research Board is to provide leadership in transportation improvements and innovation through trusted, timely, impartial, and evidence-based information exchange, research, and advice regarding all modes of transportation. e Boardâs varied activities annually engage about 8,000 engineers, scientists, and other transportation researchers and practitioners from the public and private sectors and academia, all of whom contribute their expertise in the public interest. e program is supported by state transportation departments, federal agencies including the component administrations of the U.S. Department of Transportation, and other organizations and individuals interested in the development of transportation.

NCHRP Research Report 1014: Developing a Highway Framework to Conduct an All- Hazards Risk and Resilience Analysis presents a research roadmap to develop a comprehen- sive manual, tools, training, and implementation guidelines for quantitative risk and resilience assessment that satisfies new federal requirements. The roadmap will be of interest to state departments of transportation (DOTs) seeking a consistent approach to risk and resilience assessments, economic analysis, project prioritization, and performance manage- ment that more efficiently uses available funds. This information will further the preparedness of the transportation sector for emerging threats and enable state DOTs to communicate risk and make the business case for resilience investments in the face of uncertainty. Transportation agencies are responsible for the highway system and the delivery of a range of services and functions to support the management of that system. There are inherent risks involved with the management of the system, including aging infrastructure and fiscally con- strained resources. Many agencies are moving toward performance-based resource allocation while simultaneously recognizing risks that may undermine their strategic goals. As these risks affect every component of a highway system, accurately accounting for and addressing these risks within a transportation agencyâs enterprise-wide management program is a goal that currently lacks analysis tools. Also, state DOTs are required to develop a process for quantifying annual risk to increase their system resilience as part of the Infrastructure Invest- ment and Jobs Act (IIJA) also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). The purpose of this study was to establish an understanding of the research required to establish quantitative methods to support all-hazards risk and resilience analysis for the high- way system. Under NCHRP Project 23-09, âScoping Study to Develop the Basis for a Highway Standard to Conduct an All-Hazards Risk and Resilience Analysis,â Applied Engineering Management (AEM) was asked to (1) develop a comprehensive and consistent set of risk- and resilience-related terminology for transportation agency use, and (2) provide a research road- map for developing a framework for a quantitative all-hazards risk and resilience analysis of transportation assets, with its associated tools, and guidance on its application. In addition to NCHRP Research Report 1014, the following three deliverables are avail- able on the National Academies Press website (nap.nationalacademies.org) by searching for NCHRP Research Report 1014: ⢠An implementation and communications plan that identifies mechanisms and channels for communicating and implementing this research; ⢠A flyer summarizing the project background, accomplishments, and benefits; and ⢠A PowerPoint presentation introducing NCHRP Research Report 1014.
