Solicitation for ACRP Synthesis Topics for Fiscal Year 2015. Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP)

摘要

yntheses are state-of-the-practice reports prepared under contract by outside individuals or firms. The reports seek to locate and assemble information; to learn what practice has been used; to identify ongoing and recently completed research; to learn what problems remain largely unsolved; and to organize, evaluate, and document the useful information acquired. They do not undertake new research, nor do they contain policy recommendations. Syntheses document and describe current practice in a given area, highlight practices that are viewed as successful by many of the entities surveyed in developing the synthesis, or that are characterized as such in the literature reviewed by the synthesis author. They are most valuable when they are focused on issues common to many organizations. The only recommendations that are permitted in a synthesis are recommendations for needed research. The topics received from this solicitation will form the basis for selection of the annual ACRP Synthesis Program. They are not proposals to conduct the research but are used to identify potential topics only. Please review current ACRP synthesis topics so as to avoid duplication or overlap. An oversight panel governs the ACRP Synthesis Program. The panel will meet in the fall 2014 to select synthesis topics for the fiscal year 2015 synthesis program. In preparation for this selection process, this industry-wide solicitation for potential synthesis topics is being conducted. A suggested format for electronic submittal of a synthesis topics.
