TRB Annual Meeting Update

by Ed Christopher

Quick update Annual Meeting time slotting: We are getting the same times we had last year. The Committee is meeting Monday afternoon. The Census Subcommittee is slotted for Monday night. In many respects these are prime times since they are early in the week. We have no other "formal" subcommittees with scheduled meetings. Is someone starting one who wants some time? Our paper review is only going HO-Hum. We are sitting with 32 papers and only 47% of the reviews are in with 1 day to go. After the reviews come in, the process of selecting papers begins. This is not an easy especially when reviewers do not provide any comments. But I digress. We have 2 Sunday workshops getting organized. In the morning we have one on the Transferability of Household Travel Survey Data and in the afternoon one on the American Community Survey. If anyone else has anything that they are working on relevant to the annual meeting let us know. -- Ed C

Committee Update

by Ed Christopher

For now I am done with the paper review assignments. The Urban Data Committee has 32 papers on its plate while I am brokering a review of another 9 papers on health and obesity with 3 other committees. Of our 32 papers about 22 were dealing with travel times/speed or a related aspect. Modeling real time travel time from various types of probe devices like GPS units and cell phones seems to be the hot topic area. In fact we had 6 or 7 papers dealing with cell phones as probes. According to TRB deadlines reviewers have until September 15th to get their reviews back but PLEASE do not wait that long. Finally, if you did not get any papers to review and you think you should have please let me know. -- Ed Christopher 708-283-3534 (V) 708-574-8131 (cell) FHWA RC-TST-PLN 19900 Governors Dr Olympia Fields, IL 60461

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....

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.
