ABC Activities at the 2016 TRB Annual Meeting:
ABC Subcommittee Meeting, AFF10(3) – Tuesday, January 12, 2016
All are welcome to attend the ABC Subcommittee meeting. Of its many activities, the Subcommittee maintains and posts an ABC Research Tracking Spreadsheet that provides the status and deliverables of approximately 100 related research projects that are either completed, under development, or proposed. The subcommittee also evaluates Research Topic Ideas for further consideration of developing an idea into a formal Research Needs Proposal. If you know of any ABC related research projects that should be included in the Subcommittee’s spreadsheet, or have a Research Topic Idea that you would like to submit for
further review, please contact Chair Ben Beerman at Benjamin.Beerman@dot.gov. For more information on the Subcommittee’s activities, please visit the website link at http://www.trbaff103.com/.
