Our Research and Support Expertise

The expertise of our scientists, engineers, and support staff encompasses more than 100 transportation-related disciplines and expertise areas. The following expertise areas and contacts can be found at the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC) and the four offices housed at the research and development facility: the Office of Infrastructure Research and Development, the Office of Operations Research and Development, the Office of Safety Research and Development, and the Office of Corporate Research, Development, and Innovation Management, which supports all three research offices and manages the Advanced Research Program. The 24 laboratories housed at TFHRC provide a vital resource for advancing the body of knowledge that has been created and developed to solve national transportation goals.

For concise descriptions of the TFHRC laboratories, read the Lab Clips.
