METHODOLOGY FOR AN AGGREGATE READINESS LEVEL ASSESSMENT OF INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES

Laura-Florentina BOANȚĂ, Alexandru MARIN, Miron ZAPCIU, Bogdan-George RÂNEA

Abstract


This paper introduces a new approach for assessing the "aggregate" readiness level (AgRL) of an innovative material, specifically a novel asphalt concrete made from recycled glass and plastic waste. The proposed approach builds on the existing framework of Technology Readiness Level (TRL) by integrating additional readiness dimensions: Market Readiness Level (MRL), Regulatory Readiness Level (RRL), Acceptance Readiness Level (ARL), Organizational Readiness Level (ORL), and Commercial Readiness Index (CRI). These dimensions are considered in conjunction to evaluate their interdependent impacts, establishing a comprehensive metric for determining the overall maturity of emerging technologies. This framework serves as a foundational tool for research organizations to gauge the readiness of new technologies, particularly in the context of pilot projects seeking public or private investment.
