Websites for MDT-funded research projects that were completed before 2018 have been removed from the Completed and All webpages.
The final reports for all MDT research projects are maintained through ROSA P , which is a database that contains full-text digital publications, datasets, and other resources. ROSAP is free to use and does not require a log-in. We encourage you to use this database as your first stop in finding completed research reports. This database is very helpful to researchers and transportation employees. For more information on ROSA P, use the link above to travel to their homepage.
