Greetings TRB Subcommittee Friends,
As you may know, the TRB health and transportation subcommittee
developed a newsletter as a way to stay up to date. See the January
edition: http://www.trbhealth.org/newsletter/january2013.
We're now looking for content for the next edition to be released by
mid-March.
Send any pertinent updates related to health and transportation (e.g.,
new reports, new research, upcoming conferences or events) for
consideration via email by Friday March 8th to me
(eloisa.raynault(a)apha.org); please do not 'reply all' to this message.
Thank you,
Eloisa

Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.
The seminal document is arguably a 2010 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration study, "Frequency of Target Crashes for IntelliDrive Safety Systems," http://www.nhtsa.gov/DOT/NHTSA/NVS/Crash%20Avoidance/Technical%20Publicatio….
Lexus' announcement last month was very safety centric:
http://www.popsci.com/cars/article/2013-01/ces-2013-lexus-unveils-autonomou…
If you're not limited to peer reviewed journals, you will probably find plenty of articles from California and Nevada news media, since both states have passed legislation allowing the use of autonomous vehicles.

Hello all. I was wondering if anyone has seen any articles published about driverless cars and issues like health, equity, and/or safety concerns with alternative modes? Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I am writing on behalf of Rajiv Bhatia with an inquiry re: whether people
working at MPOs have quantified, modeled or mapped VMT or traffic density
at a smaller area/sub-city level.
If you have, could you please email me directly (megan.wier(a)sfdph.org) with
some details regarding this work and your data source(s)?
If you have not but have plans to do so and/or the data available to do so,
I would be most interested in hearing about it as well.
For some background regarding this approach and implications for health,
please see the attached article.
Thanks so much in advance -
Best,
Megan

Thursdays. Thank you! ***
