MnDOT and the Minnesota Local Road Research Board have funded 23 new research projects and are seeking Technical Advisory Panel members to help guide the research.
Researchers will tackle cutting-edge transportation questions, such as:
- What methods can improve driver comprehension of flashing yellow arrows?
- Are Minnesota’s pavement markings ready for automated vehicles?
- How do we best manage roadsides to serve as pollinator habitats?
- Have Minnesota’s warmer winters increased the number of freeze-thaw cycles?
- Can transverse rumble strips be better utilized to improve safety at rural intersections?
Interested in serving on a technical advisory panel? Panel members play an essential role in the success of a research project by guiding the work and reviewing deliverables. Reach out to research.dot@state.mn.us for more information.
Learn more about the newly funded research studies – and sign up for project alerts -on MnDOT’s Office of Research & Innovation’s website. See the LRRB website for eight new local agency research implementation projects.
