Innovations in Freight Demand Modeling and Data Symposium
Posted February 13, 2013
An integral part of the development of the freight modeling and data improvement strategic plan was an innovations symposium held in the fall of 2010 in Herndon, Virginia, near Washington Dulles International Airport. The symposium paper competition was conducted as a means of discovering the sorts of innovation that were occurring internationally both in terms of freight demand modeling and freight data. The symposium was considered to be successful both by the SHRP 2 Project C20 (Freight Demand Modeling and Data Improvement Strategic Plan) project team and by the symposium attendees. SHRP 2 is now planning a second innovation symposium in SHRP 2 Project C43 (Second SHRP 2 Freight Modeling and Data Innovation); it will be held in late 2013 or early 2014 again near Washington, D.C. The papers presented at the fall 2010 symposium are available here as a reference.

TCAPP and Integrated Ecological Framework Pilot Projects: Synthesis of Lessons Learned (*SHRP 2 Prepublication Report)
Posted April 15, 2013
Transportation for Communities—Advancing Projects through Partnerships (TCAPP) provides agencies and practitioners with guidance on reaching collaborative decisions as they work through the traditional transportation planning, programming, and permitting processes. TCAPP also serves as a portal to other tools, including the Integrated Ecological Framework (IEF), which was developed to serve as a primary resource for those seeking to balance transportation needs with environmental protection. To test both the premises of TCAPP and the IEF, SHRP 2 conducted four pilot tests of TCAPP in Project C18 and four pilot tests of the IEF in Project C21. The SHRP 2 Project C41 Synthesis Report presents an overview of the TCAPP and IEF pilot studies, and it highlights and synthesizes key findings of the research.
* To make research available as early as possible, SHRP 2 is temporarily posting final reports that have been submitted by the research team, reviewed according to the relevant National Academy of Sciences procedures, and accepted for publication. These prepublication drafts, which have not been edited or formatted for publication, will be replaced by the final versions as they complete the editorial process.
Executive Decision Making for Transportation Capacity: The Multi-Agency Context (*SHRP 2 Prepublication Report)
Posted April 15, 2013
Transportation for Communities—Advancing Projects through Partnerships (TCAPP) provides agencies and practitioners with guidance on reaching collaborative decisions as they work through the traditional transportation planning, programming, and permitting processes. TCAPP is designed for practitioners, but to succeed in practice, it will need support from upper-level managers and CEOs within transportation agencies and environmental resource agencies. The purpose of SHRP 2 Project C22 (Executive Decision Making for Transportation Capacity: A Multi-Agency Context) was to translate the benefits of TCAPP into marketing principles, potential strategies, and messages for transportation and resource agency decision makers. The final report documents the research, synthesizes the findings, and presents principled direction from the market research and some potential next steps.

Technical Summaries Collection for SHRP 2 Capacity Products
Posted November 15, 2012
Our 4-8 page Project Briefs summarize the issues addressed in a research project, describe the approach to meeting the research objective, and introduce the resulting products. These technical summaries will be published for every SHRP 2 project as the final reports are accepted for publication. The five existing Project Briefs for SHRP 2 Capacity research have been collected in the following PDF. Project Briefs are available on the Publications page of the SHRP 2 website.
Older publications are available on the SHRP 2 Publications Page.
