Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Publications
ACRP Reports, Syntheses of Practice, Research Results Digests, Web-Only Documents, Legal Research Digests, and Impacts on Practice contain the findings of individual research projects managed by TRB's Cooperative Research Programs.
 |
Reports: Reports are the main product of the research project and are often written as guidebooks or manuals. Supplemental project material—such as appendixes, which describe technical details, information-gathering activities, or survey instruments; glossaries; and bibliographies—are disseminated online as web-only documents. |
|
Syntheses of Practice: Syntheses report on the state of the practice based on literature reviews and surveys of recent activities in critical areas. Syntheses also inform airport managers about innovations being used by others to solve problems. |
|
Research Results Digests (RRDs): RRDs are used to promote early awareness of project results in order to encourage implementation. RRDs also summarize specific findings that emphasize how the research may be used. The contents are organized in terms of the problem and the solution to it, the findings, and the applications. RRDs generally run 4–32 printed pages. |
|
Legal Digests (LRDs): LRDs report on timely legal issues, compile case law, or recommend specific solutions to specific problems. LRDs run 12–48 printed pages. |
|
Web-Only Documents: Web-only documents are fully searchable PDFs of contractor-prepared reports or supporting appendix materials. Web-only documents are linked to other related project products, as well as to the relevant project write-ups. |
|
Impacts on Practice: Impacts on Practice are designed to provide examples of how airport industry practitioners are using ACRP research results to assist them in their work. |
|
WebResources: WebResources is an online product line that includes electronic resources, topical libraries, training videos, and alternative format research reports. |
|
Miscellaneous: ACRP miscellaneous publications are non-ACRP series publications or publications sponsored by the ACRP program, but produced by another TRB division. |
