K. B. Woods Award

The K. B. Woods Award was established by the Executive Committee in 1971 and may be given annually for the outstanding paper published in the field of design and construction of transportation facilities. It honors the 19th chairman of the Highway Research Board, who was professor emeritus of engineering in the Schools of Engineering at Purdue University and active in the affairs of the Board throughout his career. The names of the award recipients and the titles of their papers follow. The Executive Committee of TRB has authorized annual presentation of a limited number of awards for outstanding papers published by the Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board and selected through peer-review under the Technical Activities Council.
