This report reviews domestic and international literature describing current research and state of the practice in using travel time reliability in transportation planning; summarizes case studies from agencies working to incorporate reliability into their transportation planning processes. Furth
A comprehensive and systematic review of current practice, to identify and synthesize existing tools, training, and exercises that can be used to effectively prepare transportation maintenance and operations forces for their roles in emergencies.
Since September 11, 2001, 145 security-, emergency management-, and infrastructure protection-related planning and implementation projects have been initiated through programs managed by the Transportation Research Board (TRB). One hundred eleven of these projects have been completed;
This report examines the interrelationships between smart growth applications and goods movement, specifically those relationship between land -use patterns and the transportation of goods in the urban environment. The results of the research can be used by decisionmakers to more accurately
This document is the technical reference for incorporating reliability performance measures into the planning and programming process. It provides a how-to guide for technical staff to select and calculate the appropriate performance measures to support the development of key planning products, i
