16 Decision Tree Outcome (no update or consider update) AI Identification of the result of utilization of the decision tree to determine if “no update” was required or “Consider update” in the future. N N Prioritization Score AJ A prioritization score was generated based on the scores provided to the questions in columns AL through AR. N N Blank AK Column used as a separation to the calculations from the data collected. N N Is Topic Identified on an ACRP Research Roadmap? Column AA: Y=1,N=0 AL Determination if the product topic was identified on the ACRP Research Roadmap (Column AA)and given a score of "1" if "Yes" and "0" if "No". N Y How integral is the obsolete or missing content to the integrity/usefulness of the product? Column: V Y=1, N=0 (if Y manually judge score off of Column W notes 1, marginally, 2 moderately, 3 is integral) AM Determination if there was significant changes to technology (Column V) within the industry that affected the usefulness of the product by giving it a score of "0" if "No", or rated by the researcher based on Column W details - "1" if "Marginally", "2" if "Moderately", and "3" if "Integral". N Y Has a research idea to update this product (or specific subject) been submitted in IdeaHub, Column AB: Y=1,N=0 AN Determination if the product topic was identified as a research idea in IdeaHub (Column AB) and given a score of "1" if "Yes" and "0" if "No".

Column: AG Broadly=3,Moderately=2,Narrowly=1 AQ Determination of how far industry wide the product will reach based on Column AG findings. A score of "3" if found to be "Broadly" applicable to airports, "2" if "Moderately" applicable, and "1" if only "Narrowly" applicable to select airports. N Y How complex or costly are the required updates? (This will populate once cost estimate is added into Column AT) AR Determination of complexity or cost to update the product was achieved through scoring the time required and cost estimates with (Column AT) a score of "3" if the cost estimate was less than $50,000, "2" if cost estimate was greater than $50,000 but less than $100,000, and "1" if greater than or equal to $100,000 to update the product.

TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) has provided more than $169 million in funding for 690 research projects since its inception in 2005. In those 20 years, publications and products have undoubtedly gone out-of-date. In FY2021, the ACRP Oversight Committee, along with ACRP staff, recognized the need to review past products and make updates where appropriate.

ACRP Web-Only Document 55: ACRP Product Update: Prioritization of Policy and Planning Products, from ACRP, reviews past products and make updates to them where appropriate.

Supplemental to the document is Appendix A – Product Update Screening Spreadsheet.
