Industry experts will discuss the adoption of alternative power solutions and the challenges faced in implementation and will share their key learnings from their own experiences, providing valuable perspectives on sustainable mobility and successful integration of diverse technologies in reducing environmental impact.
Public transport is undergoing a transformative shift in power sources, with a rising adoption of alternative fuels such as electricity, hydrogen and compressed natural gas (CNG). Electric buses and hydrogen fuel cell technology are gaining traction, driven by environmental concerns and advancements in technology. Simultaneously, CNG-powered buses provide a cleaner alternative to traditional fossil fuels whilst requiring fewer infrastructure and operational changes. This diverse approach reflects a commitment to sustainable mobility, with operators globally exploring a mix of technologies to reduce environmental impact in public transportation.
But, despite the progress that has been made, the industry faces many challenges in the process of adoption, including high initial costs, limited infrastructure and range anxiety, amongst others. Additionally, standardizing technologies like hydrogen fuel cells poses hurdles. Overcoming these obstacles requires significant investment, collaborative efforts and technological advancements to make alternative power more accessible and practical.
Join for this webinar, brought to you exclusively by Intelligent Transport, during which the speakers will share their experience in introducing various forms of alternative power into existing operations; discuss what challenges they faced and how they overcame them; share their key learnings from adoption and consider how they would have done things differently in retrospect; and provide insight into the success of their new fleets post-implementation.

As a proactive planning tool, it serves as a resource for transportation and environmental practitioners at State Departments of Transportation, Metropolitan Planning Organizations, and other transportation entities to assist in the development and implementation of programmatic mitigation plans (PMPs) for impacts of future transportation projects to environmental, cultural, historic, and other resources.
Under applicable Federal law, transportation agencies and project proponents have the responsibility to mitigate unavoidable impacts to ensure the preservation of environmental and cultural resources. The webinar will explore how State DOTs and MPOs can develop a PMP in coordination with resource agencies and other stakeholders, that not only meets the statutory requirements, but also builds upon best practices in mitigation, resource science, and transportation planning.

Equitable Growth in the City: Problems, Approaches, and Public Scholarship
2024-04-26 13:00 - 20:30
A challenge for 21st century cities is how to foster economic growth that benefits all stakeholders—present and future residents, businesses and non-profit institutions—without gentrification or worsening entrenched inequality. Few cities have taken on this project like Newark, NJ. Equitable Growth in the City will bring together elected officials, community-based actors, scholars and members of the private sector in conversation about how to equitably address the problems and approaches to growing cities like Newark. We will examine topics such as the creation of equitable growth advisory commissions, interdisciplinary perspectives on affordable housing development, and the unseen connections between housing and health outcomes. Along the way, we will present recent public scholarship on the many points of law and policy involved in equitable growth. No person has been a greater champion for these collaborations between universities and their cities than outgoing Newark Chancellor Nancy Cantor. We will celebrate her during the luncheon at which the Honorable Mayor Ras Baraka will deliver the keynote. Please join us!

Guest Lecture Focus
Innovations in robotics are now present in many aspects of human endeavour, from robotic vacuum cleaners to autonomous battlefield drone swarms. Alongside the intended effects of these innovations are some emerging, unintended adverse consequences. Legal and political processes exist in part to prevent and mitigate such harms. This presentation offers a systematic analysis of the emerging routes by which applications of embodied artificial intelligence—robotics—elicit public policy responses. It develops a typology that classifies robotics applications according to how they interact with individual humans, large-scale human populations, and specific physical settings; and whether the robots operate alone, in swarms, or in integrated cyberenvironments. Each case interacts with public policymaking processes in different ways, spanning tort liability law, regulatory codes and standards, and policies for assessing and managing risk. Clear roles emerge for voluntary standards, international collaboration among governance bodies, professionals cross-trained in robotics and public policy, and institutions that effectively anticipate emerging problems.

TRB Webinar: Pavement Foundations- Designing for 100 years
2024-05-30 17:00 - 18:30
TRB will host a webinar on Thursday, May 30, 2024 from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM Eastern to provide real-world examples of enhancing highway resilience and improving long term performance by reducing pavement foundation deformation. Pavement foundation deformation under asphalt or concrete surface layers cause damage at the surface and reduce service life. Extreme weather and seasonal climate change create additional uncertainty, making it difficult to estimate and reduce foundation degradation and deformation for life cycle assessment periods up to 100 years.
This webinar features research from NCHRP Research Report 933: Evaluating Mechanical Properties of Earth Material During Intelligent Compaction https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/25777/evaluating-mechanical-properties-of-earth-material-during-intelligent-compaction and is a continuation of the 2024 TRB Annual Meeting Workshop 1058: Pavement Foundations: 100-Year Design Considerations https://annualmeeting.mytrb.org/OnlineProgramArchive/Details/20707 .
This webinar is sponsored by TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program and the Standing Technical Committees on Mechanics and Drainage of Saturated and Unsaturated Geomaterials, Transportation Earthworks, and Stabilization of Geomaterials and Recycled Materials.
Registration is free for employees of TRB sponsors as well as Titanium and Cobalt Global Affiliates. The registration rate for all other attendees is $100.

Workshop (W05) description:
Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) offers enhanced mechanical and durability properties that make it an ideal material for use in the construction, repair, and preservation of highway bridges. Research related to UHPC has been ongoing for the past few decades. Early widespread adoption of UHPC was for connections between prefabricated bridge elements, and the next phase of adoption focused on preservation and repair activities. Looking forward, the use of UHPC for primary structural members has emerged as a compelling application, as it will allow for reduced dead loads, decreased girder depths, increased span lengths, elimination of intermediate piers, and extended service life, among other possible benefits. The release of the AASHTO Guide Specifications for Structural Design with Ultra-High Performance Concrete is expected to allow designers to begin engaging UHPC. The objective of this workshop is to provide background, context, and foundational knowledge to bridge owners and designers interested in using UHPC for structural applications. The workshop builds on a basic knowledge of reinforced and prestressed concrete bridge design to introduce and explain aspects of analysis and design unique for UHPC structural elements.

The Evolution of Knowledge Management at Airports
2024-07-24 18:00 - 19:30
TRB Webinar: The Evolution of Knowledge Management at Airports
Industry-wide, airports are experiencing disruptive and continuous changes that include the rapid introduction of new technology, financial constraints, retirements, and the need to replace seasoned veterans. These changes are compounded by a diminishing pipeline of individuals interested in working at airports. While the term “knowledge management” is not in widespread use at airports, many are already applying techniques, such as documenting standard operating procedures or conducting after-action reviews following airport disruptions. Knowledge management (KM) is a well-established discipline for creating, capturing, sharing, and leveraging essential knowledge needed for success. Without tasking these deliberate steps, airports may face reduced efficiency, degradation of customer service, and increased vulnerability to business and operational interruptions. TRB will host a webinar on Wednesday, July 24, 2024 from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM Eastern that will provide practical approaches and solutions that any airport can use to facilitate active and continuous knowledge management.
This webinar is based on ACRP Research Report 258: The Evolution of Knowledge Management at Airports https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/27399/the-evolution-of-knowledge-management-at-airports .
This webinar is sponsored by TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program.
There is no fee to attend this webinar. Registration is required.
A recording will be sent to all registrants after the webinar.
Webinar agenda and presenters
* Overview of the report – Frances Harrison, Spy Pond Partners
* KM and challenges at airports – Ann Richart, Washington State Department of Transportation
* Best practices for continuous KM – Jeanette Saunders, Airport Minority Advisory Council
* Question and answer session moderated by Frances Harrison, Spy Pond Partners
The first 60 minutes of the webinar will be for presentations and the final 30 minutes will be reserved for audience questions.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
* Mitigate the loss of institutional knowledge using KM when employees change jobs or retire
* Explore how to prepare for and respond to emerging trends
* Ensure continuity of operations and how to maximize effectiveness and efficient use of resources
