    TR News 348: Intercity Buses: Planning for a Post-Pandemic Paradigm
    4/11/2024 1:00:00 PM
    The intercity bus industry experienced unprecedented growth before the COVID-19 pandemic and seemed poised for further expansion. The industry embraced technology to provide dynamic scheduling and pricing, booking and boarding were simplified through customer-friendly applications and electronic ticketing, and customers were enticed by free Wi-Fi and onboard entertainment. " Intercity Buses: Planning for a Post-Pandemic Paradigm," by  Matthew W. Daus, details that while a full recovery has not yet o...


    TR News 348: Fresh Perspectives: Artificial Intelligence Frontiers in Transportation
    2/29/2024 2:00:00 PM
    AI technologies have fueled advances in autonomous driving and intelligent transportation systems, for example, enabling the public in Phoenix, San Francisco, and other cities to hail a self-driving taxi from their smartphone apps. Transportation professionals also are tapping computer-vision technologies to manage transportation assets, collect traffic data, and dynamically adjust traffic signals. Despite such promising developments, many who work in transportation continue to see AI as a theoretical co...

    TR News 347: Geofoam: Colorado’s Innovative Answer to an Emergency Highway Repair
    1/23/2024 7:25:00 PM
    In 2019, the Colorado Department of Transportation (DOT) was faced with a mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) bridge abutment failing catastrophically, closing U.S. 36 between Denver and Boulder. The geotechnical design subconsultants suggested the use of geofoam blocks to fast-track the project and get the embankment reconstructed prior to winter. "Geofoam: Colorado’s Innovative Answer to an Emergency Highway Repair," by Stephen Harelson, details how TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program r...
