Congratulations Michigan and North Carolina!

excellent work by both states!!

Congratulations! Michigan and North Carolina.

Can MDOT or NCDOT share any quantification of the innovations ?

… quantification of benefits

One example of benefits is the use of VPI. In many instances we saw a 5-10 fold increase in the number of public participants in virtual public meetings. Those results are documented in our VPI Stic Incentive report.

Do works regarding the betterment of the organizational structure and culture also relate to STIC? If so, are there any examples, recent or past, successful or unsuccessful?

Here is a link to the VPI report from Michigan: https://www.michigan.gov/documents/mdot/Guide_to_Virtual_Public_Involvement_726962_7.pdf

Could you provide more information offline for the ThermalStare project?

Is the ground penetrating radar for compaction monitoring for just asphalt or asphalt and soil? Either way it will be great to alleviate the effort of carrying density gage up and down a roadway to measure compaction

@auzokwe I believe the GRP project focuses on asphalt vs asphalt on soil.

Thank you for your questions. I see questions for MDOT, NCDOT, and Jeff. I will circle back and make sure we ask them during the Q&A session.

One more item from Michigan is the link to the MDOT Innovation website which includes a benefits section for each innovation: www.Michigan.gov/MDOTInnovations

Ashley and team at MoDOT - so proud of you and your work! Keep pushing us forward!!

Here is a link to three Virtual Reality training scenarios under development as part of the iTrain AMR grant in Missouri (Flagger work zone and Head-to-Head/Crossover work zone).

Kudos to all!

There is a pooled fund research project on automated TMA trucks. How does that relate to the project MoDOT is doing?

To Michael Avery's question - At NCDOT, we do have metrics to measure the impacts of innovations. If you would like more information on the details, please contact Clare Fullerton cefullerton@ncdot.gov.

Clay, Missouri started our initial project prior to the Colorado pooled fund. We are not a contributing member to the pooled fund but we participate in their meetings as we can so we can all learn from each other.
