[ABJ30] Committee Update

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
