Transportation Strategic Research Plan


Book Description

The NSTC's National Transportation Science and Technology Strategy, issued in April 1997, has four key elements: Strategic Planning and Assessment, Partnership Initiatives, Enabling Research, and Education and Training. This Transportation Strategic Research Plan addresses the Enabling Research element. It incorporates R & D activities with clear potential relevance to one or more transportation modes or functions, regardless of the objectives for which it is conducted or the performing agency. Enabling research includes activities described under three Federal budget categories. For civil agencies, these are Basic Research, Applied Research, and Development. The comparable Defense Department terms are 6.1 (Basic Research), 6.2 (Applied Research), and 6.3 (Advanced Technology Demonstration).
