Description

Primary

Background

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Corporate Research, Technology and Innovation (HRTM) Research Team is initiating a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) to solicit proposals aimed at executing research and development for practical solutions to high-priority problems in highway transportation. This BAA is structured as a 5-year Open BAA, allowing for flexibility in soliciting proposals that meet urgent needs. The FHWA HRTM Research Team focuses on advancing higher-risk research in emerging science and engineering areas that can significantly impact highway safety, mobility, maintenance, and environmental stewardship.

Work Details

The BAA seeks innovative solutions to support the FHWA Exploratory Advanced Research program, particularly in the following digital twin program areas: 1. Construction automation and safety; 2. Management of assets including pavements and structures; 3. Active roadside safety systems for pedestrians and other vulnerable road users. Proposals must include a comprehensive Statement of Work detailing the project scope, objectives, milestones, expected outcomes, and deliverables. The technical approach should outline integration with the transportation industry through participation or testing support. A risk assessment must also be included to evaluate potential impacts on the project.

Place of Performance

The geographic location(s) for performance are not explicitly stated but are implied to be within the United States as the focus is on national highway transportation issues.
