Transportation Security; Emergency Response and Recovery 2008
TRB’s Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2041 includes 10 papers that explore reliability and security in transportation networks, intergovernmental cooperation in the conduct of a local government continuity-of-operations exercise, transportation network risk profile for an origin-destination pair, integrated urban evacuation planning framework, and empirical characterization of mass evacuation traffic flow. This issue of the TRR also examines the impact of a hurricane on mobilization time; an emergency evacuation system for Washington, D.C.; the emergency preparedness of the Rhode Island transportation system in the event of a disaster; a simulation-based framework for transportation network management in emergencies; and microscopic versus mesoscopic simulation for the assessment of I-4 contraflow plans.
Individual TRRs, which are published on an irregular basis throughout the year, consist of collections of peer-reviewed papers on specific transportation subject areas and modes. TRB's TRR Online service allows all visitors to identify papers of interest and review abstracts of those papers. Access to the full papers is available to service subscribers and employees of TRB sponsors. Papers may also be purchased on an individual basis.
Printed copies of TRR Journals may also be purchased on an annual subscription basis. Each year, TRB publishes approximately 45 volumes of the TRR Journal, containing more than 800 papers grouped by subject.
