INDUSTRY INVOLVEMENT

TRB

Transportation Research Board
The Transportation Research Board (TRB), as part of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, is a leading organization in transportation improvements and innovation. TRB facilitates the trusted, timely, impartial, and evidence-based exchange of information, research, and advice regarding all modes of transportation. Many Kimley-Horn staff begin their involvement in TRB during college and continue that participation throughout their careers. Our staff have been selected to chair committees, lead workshops, facilitate lectern sessions, present research, and publish papers in the Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board (TRR). To date, we have written or contributed to more than 50 papers published in the TRR.

Using Part-Time Shoulder Lanes as Express Tolled Managed Lanes

August 13, 2024 | 3:30-5:00pm

As part of the development of the Hampton Roads Express Lanes (HREL) Network Project, VDOT evaluated the use of High-Occupancy Toll (HOT) Lanes in various segments of the 44+ mile corridor of I-64 from Newport News to Chesapeake, Virginia. A detailed traffic operations and safety analysis was conducted for the entire corridor to study the impact of the HOT Lanes on the flow of traffic along I-64 as well as the corresponding arterials. This research provides the findings of using Part-Time Shoulder Lanes (PTSL) as a component of the HOT/Express lanes on the HREL project. PTSL use is quickly becoming an innovative solution for highly constrained corridors where the need for reliability of travel is critical. This presentation will share the findings, lessons learned, opportunities, and challenges from this research study.

Framing Traffic Management Systems Strategic Direction Improvements

January 8, 2023 | 9:00am – 12:00pm ET

Traffic Management Systems (TMSs) support a variety of different services, functions, tasks, and actions. TMSs may also have different roles and responsibilities that involve sharing, coordinating, or making information available to other agencies, systems, or service providers. TMSs also range in size (i.e., coverage area), functionality, services, and capabilities (e.g., whether or not the system includes a traffic management center, which can be used for sharing information, in addition to managing traffic). The workshop will leverage the collective insights and experience of attendees to identify and explore current practices, available and needed resources, and issues agencies may consider.

WORKSHOP

What Is All of the Noise About?: The Intersection of Noise and Public Engagement 

January 8, 2023 | 9:00am – 12:00pm ET

The potential for more noise generated from a new highway, rail, or airport expansion project can create public controversy and concern. Explaining the process for determining noise levels, impacts, and mitigation is complex and challenging, requiring extensive public engagement and communications. This interactive workshop will walk through the process of engaging the public for projects with noise impacts. Participants will work through multiple scenarios to evaluate various techniques.
