International Highway Technology Scanning Program
About the Scanning Program
The International Highway Technology Scanning Program (Scanning Program) accesses innovative technologies and practices in other countries that could significantly improve highways and highway transportation services in the United States. The program enables innovations to be adapted and put into practice much more efficiently without spending scarce research funds to re-create advances already developed by other countries. Personal domestic and international networking, team dynamics, and the creation of domestic champions for promising foreign ideas are keystones of the scan process. Successful implementation in the U.S. of the world’s best practices is the goal of the program.
