The Physical Research Section – Research Coordination Unit of the Illinois Department of Transportation(IDOT) is responsible for directing and administering a research program consistent with the department’sneeds. Our comprehensive research programs feature a diverse range of projects in the following focus areas: Construction; Environment; Pavement Design, Management and Materials; Planning; Public and Multi-Modal Transportation; Safety; Structures, Hydraulics and Geotechnical; and Traffic Operations and Roadside Maintenance.

This research is funded primarily through federal State, Planning, and Research (SPR) Part 2 dollars, which are limited to research, development, and technology transfer activities. These federal dollars are focused onefforts to obtain the most benefit to IDOT and to Illinois’ taxpayers.

We carry out this research by utilizing a contract research program administered by the Illinois Center forTransportation (ICT) and through participation in the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) TransportationPooled Fund (TPF) Program with State and Federal partners.

Our research with ICT is governed by a cooperative inter-governmental agreement with the University of Illinoisat Urbana-Champaign. ICT and their subcontractors provide a 25 percent match for IDOT’s federal SPR fundsto cover the federal matching requirements for research and planning activities. A small amount of state fundsare used to pay the administrative costs of this contract research program since federal SPR funds may notbe used for this purpose. A visual representation of all the FY2012 active projects underway through ICT isprovided, showing project details and a graphical timeline for each project. Projects are grouped by focus area.

Participation in the TPF Program enables IDOT to pool limited resources with other federal, state, and localagencies having similar research goals in an efficient and cost-effective manner. IDOT has participated in numerous pooled fund studies led by FHWA or state DOTs with research conducted by universities, privatecompanies, and foundations. A table is provided which shows the pooled fund studies, grouped by focusarea, in which IDOT participated in FY2012. IDOT’s contribution as a function of the total project cost is shown.

This report also includes pie charts detailing FY2012 Contract Research by Focus Area, FY2012 TPF Participation by Focus Area, and FY2012 SPR Part 2 Funding Distribution, representing all areas of our research program.

The projects highlighted in this report show the diversity and depth of research done at ICT and through our participation in the TPF Program. Together, they help IDOT provide safe, cost-effective transportation for Illinois, while enhancing quality of life, promoting economic prosperity, and demonstrating respect for our environment.

For more information on IDOT’s research program, please contact the Research Coordination Unit atDOT.BMPR.RESEARCH@illinois.gov or at (217) 782-7200. Additional information on the ICT, including project status and published reports for IDOT projects, can be found at http://ict.illinois.edu/index.aspx.
