TRB will cosponsor a workshop titled “ Geotechnical Data Sourcing and the Quality and Use of Models for Geotechnical Design ” on August 14, 2023. This session at HGS will highlight how though the application and use of new innovative sources of geotechnical data, engineers can increase reliability and certainty of various geotechnical design models. The use of these new, more readily-available data sources coupled w... http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/182943.aspx a091c4f1-4d65-4513-a140-b3bcc9231af6 Thu, 23 Feb 2023 08:54:23 GMT Sponsored by The University of Texas at Austin Cockrell School of Engineering, ARRB, COTA, UNSW Sydney, and the Research Centre for Integrated Transport Innovation, the Bridging Transportation Researchers (BTR) Conference will be held on August 9-10, 2023 online. TRB is pleased to cosponsor this event. The event is open to the public and there is no registration fee. This free conference will be hosted on multiple Zoom-based tracks to virtually and globally unite transportation engineers, planners, and p... http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/182896.aspx ff23acd5-d477-49b3-9fbb-ca03c6b0264c Fri, 23 Dec 2022 19:00:49 GMT Building information modeling (BIM) has been used in the vertical construction industry since the 1970s. In the last decade, the worldwide transportation industry has been pushing for the implementation of BIM for bridges and infrastructures. This process revolutionizes the way projects are delivered and, to be successful, it requires the cooperation of all parties involved in the realization of the structure. TRB's Transportation Research Circular E-C282: Building Information Modeling for Bridges and St... http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/182806.aspx ef2f8c7a-3b26-41a6-a02c-befb5deb5767 Thu, 22 Dec 2022 19:00:05 GMT Developments in unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) technology and the seemingly endless applications of this technology offer society a broad spectrum of enhancements and solutions to many problems. The TRB Airport Cooperative Research Program's ACRP Research Report 238: Airfield Design for Large Unmanned Aircraft Systems—A Guide provides a fundamental understanding of large UAS (L-UAS) and their typical supporting infrastructure needs, which will assist airport sponsors with determining potential enha... http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/182838.aspx ce634edc-0fd5-41f6-9142-2e6971e9d9ea Fri, 16 Sep 2022 18:01:37 GMT An important operational characteristic of an airport is the length of its longest runway. The longest runway determines the types of aircraft that can use the airport and dictates the operational limitations at the airport. The TRB Airport Cooperative Research Program's ACRP Web-Only Document 54: Development of a Small Aircraft Runway Length Analysis Tool provides a user-friendly computer tool to help airport planners and designers estimate runway length requirements for a variety of aircraft and design... http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/182823.aspx 9d627d01-75a3-4e8d-9b10-5fc4c4bc2d53 Fri, 02 Sep 2022 18:00:49 GMT Dynamic curbside management has been the purview of cities, with much of the relevant research and guidance directed toward local transportation agencies. However, state departments of transportation, metropolitan planning organizations, and other regional agencies can be important partners for these local entities because, in many cases, roadways and other curb zone elements are part of the regional or state network. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Web-Only Document 340: Dy... http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/182640.aspx 30d9e3a1-ea63-41fd-a2ea-ee5405a48b81 Thu, 31 Mar 2022 20:02:33 GMT TR News 336: November-December 2021 examines the history of the MnROAD research facility, redesigning transit for the new mobility future, planning and design of airport terminal restrooms and ancillary spaces, understanding systemic risks of railroad hazmat transport, systems engineering for rural connected vehicle corridors, talent for today and tomorrow, and more. http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/182646.aspx 453b4911-79af-4dac-ad5d-f2c307d427f1 Mon, 03 Jan 2022 20:00:37 GMT The 2021 Annual Report summarizes TRB’s accomplishments in each of its major program areas and how TRB has served the nation and the global transportation professional community throughout the year. TRB provides leadership in transportation improvements and innovation through trusted, timely, impartial, and evidence-based information exchange, research, and advice regarding all modes of transportation. TRB is a program division of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM).

The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Web-Only Document 303: Understanding and Communicating Reliability of Crash Prediction Models provides guidance on being able to assess and understand the reliability of Crash Prediction Models. This document is supplemental to  N... http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/182604.aspx ec4b3012-3081-4a7c-8fea-303b784bd454 Mon, 22 Nov 2021 13:08:54 GMT Airport user surveys have traditionally been used to obtain information for facility planning. More recently, however, surveys are being used to measure satisfaction as a way to identify actions that could improve the customer experience and increase non-aeronautical revenues, particularly those from passenger terminal concessions. The TRB Airport Cooperative Research Program's ACRP Research Report 235: Guidebook for Conducting Airport User Surveys and Other Customer Research provides airport managers a...
