NATIONAL COOPERATIVE HIGHWAY
RESEARCH PROGRAM
Systematic, well-designed research provides the most effective
approach to the solution of many problems facing highway
administrators and engineers. Often, highway problems are of local
interest and can best be studied by highway departments individually
or in cooperation with their state universities and others. However, the
accelerating growth of highway transportation develops increasingly
complex problems of wide interest to highway authorities. These
problems are best studied through a coordinated program of
cooperative research.
