The NCHRP Research Report 992: Guide to Pedestrian Analysis spells out several methods for conducting pedestrian traffic analyses. The report identifies analyses based on volume, safety, operations, and service quality. All of these analyses form a broader picture focused on improving active transportation and multimodal transportation in cities and regions around the country. The report presents evaluation methods which align with the Highway Capacity Manual. In addition to the report content, the researchers also developed and identified supplemental resources including presentations from a peer exchange workshop, computational engines, and an additional report on HCM pedestrian methods for sustainable and safe communities.

This report promotes the experiences of four State DOTs and five MPOs as they apply performance-based planning and programming and align investment decisions with federal performance measures. Other agencies and organizations may use these examples to advance their own practices, specifically in the areas of safety, infrastructure condition, and system performance.

This 2022 California TAMP is a Draft for Public Comment. The California TAMP describes the vision for how good asset management will help to deliver broad transportation goals and fundamental objectives supported by information on current asset conditions, the desired conditions in the future, and the likely conditions given future funding scenarios.The TAMP is also a key requirement of California law and of Federal regulations. California law (Senate Bill 486) requires Caltrans to develop an asset management plan for the State Highway System, as determined by the California Transportation Commission. Federal regulations (23 CFR 515) require an asset management plan for pavements and bridges on the National Highway System, including those owned by Caltrans and other federal, state and local agencies. This document is intended to meet both sets of requirements.

As more systems go online and more workers shift to remote work, cybersecurity issues only continue to rise in risk and intensity. This research report identifies and tracks such trends. Findings cover teleworking and remote workers, contactless customer service, real-time information updating, transit-on-demand services and platforms, and cyber resilience within transit agencies.

TRB's annual report explores the accomplishments and leadership presented across their six principle goals: information exchange, research, advise and inform policy, collaboration. workforce development, and communication.

Complete risk management includes a number of steps from identifying risks to mitigating, monitoring, and documenting them. This research report focuses on safety risk assessment for transit agencies. Through a literature review, a survey of transit agencies, and detailed case studies from five different agencies, this report presents the best-practices in safety risk analysis.

This book applies to a technical methodology used to manage assets and analyze risks to Russia's railway system.

This updated version to the Highway Safety Manual User Guide aids safety analysts as they navigate and apply the Highway Safety Manual.

This resource provides an overview of asset management, data requirements, leading asset management practices in utilities, and a guide to asset management definitions. Several manuals are also available: M28 Rehabilitation of Water Mains; M32 Computer Modeling of Water Distribution Systems; and M77 Condition Assessment of Water Mains.

North Carolina has published their 2022 TAMP update. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT, The Department) has long embraced data driven asset management practices. These practices were first compiled into a single asset management document in 2014. The TAMP is a strategic framework for considering the full life cycle cost and performance of transportation infrastructure. Long-term cost is minimized, and overall life and system-wide performance is maximized. The TAMP documents considerations for preserving the entire network of bridge and pavement assets.

This NCHRP report presents an assessment of the current and emerging forces shaping transportation planning practice and the transportation planning workforce. The objectives of this research were to (1) identify the knowledge, skills, abilities, education, and experience (KSAEEs) required for plan making and talent profiles for state, regional, and local transportation planners that are aligned with existing and emerging agency needs; and (2) provide guidance on how agencies can attract, develop, manage, and retain planning talent.

This research report supports the AASHTO Highway Safety Manual by establishing the methods for ensuring reliable results in crash prediction models.
