New TRB/Academies Publications

Aviation Safety.JPG

Emerging Hazards in Commercial Aviation—Report 1: Initial Assessment of Safety Data and Analysis Processes (TRB Special Report 344). Commercial aviation safety in the United States has improved more than 40-fold over the last several decades, according to industry statistics. The biggest risks include managing safety in the face of climate change, increasingly complex systems, changing workforce needs, and new players, business models, and technologies.


Airport Parking.JPG

Airport Parking Pricing Strategies (ACRP Synthesis 118). More than 70% of airline passengers and visitors at most airports use private vehicles to access the airport, and public parking frequently represents the largest source of non-aeronautical revenues at most airports.


trnewsmaintenance.JPG

Significant safety issues often occur when longitudinal pavement joints deteriorate, leaving the joints permeable and susceptible to the intrusion of water that accelerates deterioration. This topic is explored in the May-June 2022 edition (Issue 339) of TR News, TRB's magazine.


Equitable and Resilient Infrastructure Investments (National Academies)

Use of Safety Management Systems in Managing Highway Maintenance Worker Safety (NCHRP Synthesis 591)

Improving Access and Management of Public Transit ITS Data (TCRP Research Report 235)

TRB's Top Downloaded Publication (in July): Visualization of Highway Performance Measures (NCHRP Synthesis 584) (released July 13, 2022)

News to Know

aviationSafetyTOPCARD2.jpg

Ongoing Research to Advance Aviation Safety

The aviation industry’s current safety systems excel in looking at immediate risks when it comes to emerging safety trends in air transportation. A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine project from TRB will produce biennial reports to identify possible improvements to prepare for longer-term safety risks. Read TRB's latest blog for more resources on aviation safety and transportation risk management in general. 


TRB's Latest Strategic Plans Now Online

The TRB Executive Committee has been working hard over the past many months and in June adopted three important documents: the TRB Strategic Plan for 2022-2027, the TRB Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Strategic Plan, and the TRB International Activities Strategic Plan for 2022-2027. The TRB Strategic Plan puts much more emphasis on addressing critical issues, partnerships, the impact of TRB’s work, and measuring success. The vision, mission, values, goals, and strategies within the three documents are in alignment with the strategic plan of the National Research Council of the Academies.
