Title: Access to International Transportation Research Information: Summary of a Conference
Accession Number: 01522122
Record Type: Monograph
Blurb URL: Abstract: This report summarizes the results of a September 2012 conference that explored new and innovative practices of information sharing that could benefit the U.S. transportation community. The conference also addressed strategies for the exchange of international research information that could augment the breadth and depth of the Transport Research International Documentation (TRID) database. These proceedings follow the conference program and consist of presentation summaries from the general sessions and summaries of key topics discussed in the working sessions. The opening session featured a welcome from the Transportation Research Board and the conference planning committee. Then, speakers explored the benefits to be gained through international information-sharing efforts. The next group of speakers focused on the TRID database, discussing its evolution and current status, the Swedish experience with the International Transport Research Documentation (ITRD) and TRID databases, and the Virginia Department of Transportation’s use of the TRID database. The two subsequent sessions featured speakers who addressed information sharing from U.S. and international perspectives. Next, representatives of the ARRB Group, Ltd., and TRB signed of a memorandum of understanding that the ARRB Group will provide records from its Australian Transport Index to the TRID database. The final panel sessions featured case studies on information-sharing practices in four countries that do not currently contribute to the TRID database. Three working sessions provided participants with the opportunity to discuss research needs, outreach activities, technology transfer efforts, and follow-up action steps. Participants focused on strategies to enhance the sharing of transportation information internationally, collaborative opportunities to expand the TRID database, and possible action plans and next steps.
