Problem Statements

Background

One of the tasks of the Traffic Signal Systems Committee is to develop Research Project Statements (RPSs) for research projects funded through the Transportation Research Board's Cooperative Research Programs, the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) and Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP).

The Task Force on Research Project Statements is led by Jim Powell. Please e-mail Jim if you are interested in serving on the Task Force or have any questions or comments on the Research Project Statements.
