Historique
The Research and Development Branch was established in 1980 within the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Communications, replacing the Engineering Research and Development Branch. The branch consisted of a number of different sections and offices, including: Control Systems, Transportation and Vehicle Systems, Automotive Energy Programmes, Structure Office, Maintenance and Environment Office, Pavements Office, Experimental Demonstration and Technology Transfer, and Transportation Outlook.
Following a reorganization of the branch in 1983, the sections and offices were reduced to six, and included: the Materials Research Office (renamed the Materials and Engineering Systems Office in 1984), the Technology Applications Office; the Pavements Office, the Structures Office, the Traffic Systems (renamed the Traffic and Decision Systems Office in 1985), and the Highway Operating Systems Office (renamed the Highway Invention and Strategic Research Office in 1986).
During its existence, the Research and Development Branch has formed a part of three different divisions: the Policy Planning and Research Division, from 1980-1983; the Highway Engineering Division, from 1983- 1995; and the Office of the Assistant Deputy Minister of Quality and Standards, since 1995.
