Strategic Research Agenda for Geometric Design of Highways and Streets

In the last 10-plus years, a significant body of research related to the geometric design of highways and streets has been completed (and many other projects are in process) and has had a direct and noteworthy impact on geometric design practice in the United States. This success can be attributed to the outcome of the strategic agenda published in NCHRP Synthesis 299: Recent Geometric Design Research for Improved Safety and Operations, Transportation Research Circular E-C110: Geometric Design Strategic Research, and NCHRP Synthesis 432: Recent Roadway Geometric Design Research for Improved Safety and Operation. The next 10 years of road and street design research will be a time of great change and innovation in our industry. This includes strategic approaches to multimodal integration and performance- and context-based design. A renewed strategic research agenda for geometric design is needed to guide future research topics, priorities, and investments. The objective of the project is to develop a strategic research agenda to support state DOTs in guiding and advancing the practice of human-centered multimodal design of highways, roads, and streets in the United States.
