OPPORTUNITY FOR RAILROAD RESEARCH

In restructuring its research programs, AAR is looking to areas with the potential for high pay-off. Cooperative programs involve projects that railroads can support within their own organizations, as well as through the AAR. Decisions must be made on allocation of resources to assure attention is given to most critical areas and so existing projects can be redirected or eliminated as their value changes. Levels of funding, and budgets for the various research areas are given and the areas themselves are discussed.
