Accelerated Innovation Deployment (AID) Demonstration Project: High Friction Surface Treatment

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Accelerated Innovation Deployment (AID) Demonstration grant program, which is administered through the FHWA Center for Accelerating Innovation (CAI), provides incentive funding and other resources for eligible entities to offset the risk of trying an innovation and to accelerate the implementation and adoption of that innovation in highway transportation. This report documents the South Dakota Department of Transportation’s (SDDOT) demonstration grant award for Interstate I-229 and US highway 14A using High Friction Surface Treatment (HFST) on four horizontal curves with higher than average accident rates. The report presents details relevant to the employed project innovation(s), the overarching Technology and Innovation Deployment Program (TIDP) goals, performance metrics measurement and analysis, and the status of activities related to adoption of HFST as conventional practice by SDDOT.
