  5. NCHRP 20-68B/C: Impact Assessment and Enhancement • FY ‘09 $200,000*  NCHRP 20-68B/C • Assess the impact, cost-effectiveness of domestic scans • Explore alternatives to team-travel-based scan • Enhance dissemination  community of innovators, networks of innovation • * In addition to $3 million (requested) utilized for scan activities.

  6. NCHRP 20-68B: Impact Assessment and Enhancement • First 6 scans • 6/12 month post scan participant surveys • 6 month post scan non participant surveys • Web conferences • Implementation report based on surveys/web conferences • Web site prototype

  7. NCHRP 20-68B: Impact Assessment and Enhancement • Extension to cover final 12 scans • Interview based approach • Webinar • Survey for non participants • Web site through Mar 13

  8. NCHRP 20-68B: Scan Alternatives • Scan types: • Scan team visits host agencies, approximately 2 weeks of travel • Host-agency representatives and scan team meet in 2 to 3 central locations for group discussions, approximately 1 week of travel • Host-agency representatives and scan team participate in workshop or symposium, possibly linked to another event

  9. NCHRP 20-68C: Research on Innovation Networks • Assess impact of Domestic Scan Program • Scans shape broader innovation activity at State DOTs & how this relates to other innovation sources • Diffusion of maintenance innovations via domestic scans • Survey on maintenance activities • Track three maintenance innovations: Maintenance Decision Support System; Tow Plow; Auto Pot Hole Patcher

  10. NCHRP 20-68B/C: Scan Impact and Cost Effectiveness Diffusion: an often crooked path Scans bring people together Tony’s DOT saved $10 million in the 1st year of full rollout MDSS for winter maintenance operations Terry Tony

  11. NCHRP 20-68B/C: Dissemination, Innovation Networks • To Date… • 7+2 scans completed • 12 topics in execution and programmed • 94 state DOT-staff team members, from 49 states • 35 states provided info to scan teams, hosted scans • 6 post-scan 6-month assessments • Scan-team social web site operational • Innovation-tracing research ongoing
