Tech Transfer #4: How Green is your Green Infrastructure? Educational Materials, Web-based Monitoring Portal, and Presentation – COMPLETED!
In January we posted all of the success story projects that PacTrans gave additional funding for technology transfer.
Success Story #4 involved the creation of a Green Stormwater Infrastructure Research Facility for the study of stormwater runoff. The tech transfer funding given was for three purposes: (1) development of education materials, and collaborate with University of Washington to collect initial data and apply for the facility to be Technology Assessment Protocol – Ecology (TAPE) certified, (2) development of a web-based monitoring portal that will be made available to the community for monitoring these rain gardens in real-time and measure their performance via an embedded modeling framework, and (3) delivery of presentations to local stormwater utilities and water managers about the facility and research conducted at the facility.
The presentation to local storm water utilities and water managers about the facility and research conducted at the facility, was made recently at the 5th Annual Mid-Willamette Erosion Control and Stormwater Management Summit, January 26th, 2016, Keizer, OR.

Tech Transfer #5: Interactive Tourist Information Sign Website – COMPLETED!
Last month we posted all of the success story projects that PacTrans gave additional funding for technology transfer.
Success Story #5 involved the study of traffic sign understandability. The tech transfer funding given was for two purposes: (1) to provide a mechanism for sharing the literature review, experimental methods, results, and findings of the project; and (2) to provide an interactive interface that will enable users from around the world to populate a geospatial database with images and descriptions of information signs in different contexts. For both of these components a website was to be created. We are excited to announce that that website has been completed!

Tech Transfer #1: Unmanned Aircraft Assesses Landslides – COMPLETED!
Last month we posted all of the success story projects that PacTrans gave additional funding for technology transfer.
Success Story #1 involved using unmanned aircrafts to better assess landslide risk. Their additional funding for tech transfer was to be used to make a promotional video to better disseminate their findings that their new drone methodology worked better, in many cases, than previous methods. The promotional video is complete.
