Beginning in 2019, the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requested that TRB be directly involved in managing evaluations of selected projects undertaken by the agency.

The TRB Cooperative Research Program's CRP Special Release 1: Evaluation of the Asphalt Binder Quality Tester presents an evaluation of a cooperative research and development effort that supported the development of the ABQT. The ABQT is a rapid testing device for binder quality, which is important in terms of the quality and performance of asphalt pavement.
