Last Modified Date: 1/14/2008

TRB’s Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2009 includes 17 papers that explore hazard anticipation of novice and experienced drivers, eye movement patterns of novice teen drivers, differences in perceptions of driving skills, older drivers and the driving decision, monitoring displays and speed cameras for speed reduction, intersection safety camera program, highway safety corridors, and effectiveness of targeting red light violations.  This issue of the TRR also examines the effect of seat belts on cost of injuries, seat belt usage by blacks and Hispanics, dilemma zone protection for trucks at high-speed signalized intersections, traffic safety and safe routes to schools, funding pupil transportation, footprint methodology for road safety, updating a state department of transportation database of crash reduction factors, social risk index to hurricanes in coastal regions, and no-notice evacuation following train wreck and chlorine spill.

Individual TRRs, which are published on an irregular basis throughout the year, consist of collections of peer-reviewed papers on specific transportation subject areas and modes.  TRB's TRR Online service allows all visitors to identify papers of interest and review abstracts of those papers.  Access to the full papers is available to service subscribers and employees of TRB sponsors.  Papers may also be purchased on an individual basis.

Printed copies of TRR Journals may also be purchased on an annual subscription basis.  Each year, TRB publishes approximately 45 volumes of the TRR Journal, containing more than 800 papers grouped by subject.
