The Technology Partnerships awards are the
first grants FHWA has ever provided directly to general industry.
Other companies received grants to refine and test an asphalt
binder-cracking device, an intelligent asphalt compaction analyzer,
an all-weather pavement marking system for work zones and an
automated pavement marker placement system.

FHWA is considering a second Technology
Partnerships Request for Applications in June 2008.  For more
information on the Technology Partnerships Program or on
participating in tests of the technologies, contact Julie Zirlin,
Technology Partnerships Program Manager, at 202-366-9105 or

julie.zirlin@dot.gov.

technologies work and to sign up for e-mail notification of the
