Transportation Research Information Services (TRIS)
|
- The Transportation Research Information Services (TRIS) Database is the world's largest and most comprehensive bibliographic resource on transportation information. TRIS is produced and maintained by the Transportation Research Board at the National Academy of Sciences.
- TRIS contains over 600,000 records of published and ongoing research.
- TRIS covers all modes and disciplines of transportation. Efforts have been to increase coverage on the various modes and in the areas of planning, environment, and human factors.
- Each year over 25,000 records are added to TRIS.
- TRIS is available through two commercial vendors Dialog and Ovid. Since 2000, most of the TRIS database has been available free on the Web as TRIS Online through the Bureau of Transportation Statistics' National Transportation Library's Web.
- The Research in Progress records in TRIS are available in a searchable database through TRB's RiP Web site.
- TRIS is indexed with a standardized vocabulary from the Transportation Research Thesaurus (TRT). Version 2.3 of the TRT can be downloaded from the TRT Web page.
- TRIS is sponsored by the State Departments of Transportation, the various administrations in the U.S. Department of Transportation, and other sponsors of TRB's core technical activities.
