THREE YEARS LATER AND EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS: HIGHWAY INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY EVALUATION CENTER (HITEC)

The Highway Innovative Technology Evaluation Center (HITEC) was established in 1992 as a first-stop service center to speed the introduction of innovative technologies into the highway marketplace. Premised on fostering a long-term relationship of coordination between the public sectors, who are the end users of innovative technologies, and industry, who are potential HITEC clients, HITEC has enjoyed success in bringing the two sectors together. More than 250 individuals from the public sector, private sector, and academia have served as panelists for HITEC evaluations. Because of the community's initial support, HITEC gained the resources necessary to become an operational center and initiated more than 25 product evaluations in 3 years. Through continued coordination, federal, state, and local departments of transportation, industry-related associations and organizations, and technology transfer centers nationwide will ensure that the end result of the process--the technical evaluation reports--will be disseminated throughout their organizations. To date, HITEC has published six reports.
