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/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/182727.aspx 2e09bf2d-2242-4a86-8aea-9c75fa5f0451 Thu, 14 Apr 2022 15:00:12 GMT Approximately 1,282 fatalities on U.S. interstate highways in 2020 were due to nighttime road departures. A new ultra-bright retroreflective lane marking tape can save lives as well as offer both a very short payback period and a very substantial benefit/cost ratio over its useful lifetime. The TRB IDEA (Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis) Program's NCHRP IDEA Final Report for Project 228: A Retroreflective Road Lane Marking Tape 1,000X Brighter than Existing Technology details a new product whic... http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/182696.aspx 4f57bc3a-91a7-4289-aee2-46afeab62506 Mon, 14 Mar 2022 12:00:00 GMT Many technical and institutional issues related to estimating and reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) lie across a wide spectrum of the activities undertaken by state departments of transportation (DOTs). The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Web-Only Document 308: Methods for State DOTs to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions from the Transportation Sector documents the research effort for an NCHRP project that focused on developing a guide for state DOTs on reducing GHG emission... http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/182681.aspx 5a01a732-cbf7-4a64-b72d-287a8f7722c2 Tue, 08 Mar 2022 19:28:29 GMT The AASHTO Guide for Enterprise Risk Management , published in 2016, defines enterprise risk management as “the formal and systematic effort to control uncertainty and variability on an organization’s strategic objectives by managing risks at all levels of the organization.” The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Research Report 986: Implementation of the AASHTO Guide for Enterprise Risk Management documents how several state departments of transportation are adopting risk man... http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/182657.aspx d8654cf2-a3f0-4fcb-92c8-bb9ae4382ecd Tue, 01 Feb 2022 07:00:28 GMT A January 31, 2022 letter report from TRB's Committee for the Review of Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Infrastructure R&D Program's Long-Term Infrastructure Program (LTIP) summarizes recent program progress, strategic issues, and committee recommendations for future actions. The program has produced some useful products and results over the past year and continued to improve user accessibility to data and information. Although FHWA’s infrastructure research and development is considerably broa... http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/182626.aspx 3cddc76c-5029-41b2-83a4-16c7ac2cd94a Wed, 19 Jan 2022 21:00:04 GMT TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) has released its annual report. This Annual Report provides a concise list of research published in 2021 and a list of all active projects, projects completed in 2021, and projects that were approved in 2021 but are not yet under contract. The Annual Report also presents detailed information about how NCHRP operates with oversight by the AASHTO Special Committee on Research and Innovation. http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/182647.aspx 2286ea7b-4e10-407b-b143-e389a9597f63 Mon, 03 Jan 2022 21:00:04 GMT The 2021 Annual Report for the Behavioral Traffic Safety Cooperative Research Program (BTSCRP) is now available.
