Please distribute far and wide. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Call for Participation NATMEC 2006- Deadline August 26 Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2005 20:17:59 -0400 From: "Palmerlee, Thomas" <TPalmerlee(a)nas.edu> To: <edc(a)berwyned.com> NATMEC 2006 Improving Traffic Monitoring Data for Transportation Decision-making is encouraging interested individuals to submit abstracts to be considered for presentation at the 2006 conference in Minneapolis, June 4-7, 2006. The conference will be a forum for exchange and dissemination of information related to the collection, management, and use of monitored traffic data in all applications. The conference planning committee has developed a set of sessions based on systematic input from traffic professionals and from past conference participants. A listing of the proposed sessions and descriptions along with the conference details can be found at http://www.trb.org/conferences/natmec/sessions.pdf. The planning committee is specifically seeking participation in these sessions and the submission process will ask you to choose a session. Abstracts on other topics will also be considered for inclusion in the conference program. Submittal Process You will need to prepare and abstract in file, using Word or similar software. Submit abstracts to http://www.trb.org/submissions/default.asp?event=188. After logging in you will need to enter the software as an Author and then click on Create a new paper. You will be asked for a title, short abstract and to identify which session best fits you submittal. After completing this screen you will be given another screen and asked to upload your word processing file with the abstract. You MUST upload a file with the abstract. This is a redundancy with the software that can not be changed and we apologize for this redundancy. Abstracts should not be more than 500 words in length and should clearly convey the material that will be presented and relevance to the session topic. Individual presentations will be approximately 20 minutes in length; panel presentations may vary in length. Formal papers are welcome but are not required.

RE: [ABJ30] external travel surveys

by Turner, Shawn

Ed - isn't that the way it is with most data sets? The closer you are, the more your heartburn. According to Horwood's Laws of Data (thanks to Mark Hallenbeck for making these available), Law #4 says that "The respectability of existing data grows with elapsed time and distance from the data source to the investigator." <clip> However, if you hire someone and don't look too closely you will get fine data set. I probably got to close to mine....

RE: [ABJ30] external travel surveys

We are in discussions about doing an external survey here in KC and have had the same concerns brought up. May look at license capture. Anyone done one of those recently? R.

RE: [ABJ30] external travel surveys

Maybe David Pearson will relate the Texas experience - seems like they did a survey in the past 5 years based on license capture and, at some point, was talking with the ACLU. My opinion is that perception is everything - if the public thinks you are trying to be sneaky (even though you may not be), they will call you on it and you will get bad press/public opposition. If you coordinate with the local media and other agencies in advance, tell them why you need the data, tell them how you plan to protect privacy, it seems like you might get a better reception by the public. -----Original Message----- From: a1d08-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net [mailto:a1d08-news-bounces@chrispy.net] On Behalf Of Todd Ashby Sent: Friday, July 22, 2005 1:27 PM To: Ed Christopher; Elaine Murakami; Jonette Kreideweis; ABJ30 Members List Subject: RE: [ABJ30] external travel surveys We are in discussions about doing an external survey here in KC and have had the same concerns brought up.
