2011 TRB 90th Annual Meeting Compendium of Papers now available online

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The TRB 90th Annual Meeting Compendium of Papers is now available online and can be accessed by all registered attendees. The new online Compendium of Papers replaces the CD-ROM version that has been produced in the past. The compendium is part of the “TRB Annual Meeting Online” portal that will be supplemented after the meeting with links to the slides and posters of the more than 3,000 program presenters and videos of more than 40 high-profile sessions. The slides, posters, and videos will be available on the portal by the end of February.

The TRB 90th Annual Meeting, taking place Jan. 23-27 in Washington, D.C., is fast approaching, so engineers are encouraged to register and make hotel reservations online as soon as possible. Registration is required for all Annual Meeting attendees, including those who register to attend any workshop or utilize services provided onsite such as the shuttle and Employment Opportunities room.

Annual Meeting registration is required to secure a hotel reservation. At the time of registration, attendees will have the ability to make their hotel reservations. Room blocks at Annual Meeting hotels are selling out quickly.

Shortly after the conclusion of the meeting, all TRB Annual Meeting registrants will receive complimentary online access to the meeting’s more than 3,000 slide and poster presentations, and to the full audio and visual recordings of more than 40 selected high-profile sessions. This collection will be part of the “TRB Annual Meeting Online,” which also will incorporate the nearly 2,000 papers from the meeting. In one search, the TRB Annual Meeting Online service will allow registered attendees to quickly find all available papers, visual aids, and recordings by session, presentation, author, subject area, and more.

The TRB 90th Annual Meeting covers all transportation modes, with more than 4,000 presentations in nearly 650 sessions addressing topics of interest to all attendees — policy makers, administrators, practitioners, researchers, and representatives of government, industry, and academic institutions. The Annual Meeting, which draws attendees from throughout the United States and from more than 60 countries, is one of the largest gatherings of transportation practitioners and researchers in the world.
