Digital Copy: Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: During fiscal year 1987, under the Transportation Research Board's (TRB's) field visit program first started in 1945, staff members once again completed a series of visits to transportation organizations around the country, collecting and sharing transportation research information. One of the principal objectives of TRB's field visit program is to learn of problems that these organizations face and to pass on information pertinent to their solution--information that is based on research or the experiences of other states, industry, or educational institutions. A second objective is to learn of research activities in progress or contemplated in order to inform the organization visited of similar research being carried out at other institutions, preventing duplication of effort, and to identify new methods and procedures that might have application elsewhere. This article presents a summary of transportation trends and current research activities identified during this year's field visit program. Topics addressed include planning and administration, environmental issues, design and construction, materials and construction, traffic operations, safety, maintenance, mass transportation, aviation, and rail transport.
