SUMMARY OF RESEARCH - FY82

The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities has the mission of planning, building, and maintaining the greater portion of the transportation systems and state-owned facilities in Alaska. This task is complex and requires special knowledge of the unique Alaskan environment in a variety of technical disciplines. The Research Section of the Division of Planning and Programming was created to support the technical framework of the operational divisions of the department. The objective of the section is to develop new technical knowledge to improve the department's capability to carry out the assigned mission. The goals of the Research Section are to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and increase serviceability of state facilities and transportation systems by better understanding the materials and methods and the environment in which they are used. Research is performed by staff engineers, consultants in the private sector, University of Alaska faculty, and other government agencies. At the present time the Research Section is engaged in a broad spectrum of investigations that include highways, buildings and energy-related problems, transportation systems research, and airport and aviation investigations.
