Program

The TRB Annual Meeting program covered all transportation modes, with more than 4,000 presentations in nearly 750 sessions and workshops addressing topics of interest to all attendees—policy makers, administrators, practitioners, researchers, and representatives of government, industry, and academic institutions. More than 40 sessions and workshops addressed the spotlight theme for 2013: Deploying Transportation Research - Doing Things Smarter, Better, Faster.

Annual Meeting registrants receive complimentary use of TRB Annual Meeting Online, a collection of information resources from the 92nd Annual Meeting. The Compendium of Papers is now available with online access to more than 2,400 papers. The Visual Aid Presentations, from more than 3,100 slide and poster presentations, are now available.

NEW benefit for Annual Meeting registrants! The complete Annual Meeting program is available as a Mobile App for iOS (iPhone & iPad) and Android devices. This FREE app gives registered attendees access to the schedule of events, program participants, floor plans, exhibitors, and more. Search for events chronologically, by subject area, program participant name, committee, event type, and other features. The three meeting hotels have limited Internet connectivity in most areas, so this new tool was designed as a “resident” app. This means that after the initial download, Internet access is not required since all data is stored on your mobile device.

If you have previously used the Annual Meeting Interactive Program to create a personalized program, there is currently no way to connect 'My Program' in the Interactive Program with 'My TRB' in the Mobile App. We hope to add this as a feature in the Annual Meeting Mobile App next year. However, creating a personalized 'My TRB' program in the Mobile App is an easy and fast process. Please see the FAQs for full information on the Mobile App.

To download the TRB Annual Meeting Mobile App, search “TRB 2013” in the App Store and Google Play, or click the button to the left using your mobile device.

The Interactive Exhibits Search provides information about exhibitors who participated in the TRB 92nd Annual Meeting.
