Inland Waterways, Ports, and Shipping
TRB’s Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 1963 explores waterway lock performance; the implementation of e-transport river information services to facilitate increased inland waterway transport; the feasibility of hub-and-spoke networks to improve the cost-quality level of container-on-barge transport services in existing and new markets; waterway traffic variations caused by lock closures and how this affects user demand changes; the implications of port growth for the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, California; and more.
Individual TRR Journals, which are published on an irregular basis throughout the year, consist of collections of peer-reviewed papers on specific transportation subject areas and modes. Abstracts of papers that make up this TRR are available through TRB's Publication Index.
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.
