Book excerpt: TRB's Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2291 consists of 14 papers that examine managing a major transportation program with data from geographic information systems (GIS); using GIS for mapping oversized and overweight truck routes; work zone safety analysis; traffic monitoring systems; and monitoring travel time reliability. This issue of the TRR also explores traffic and travel simulation; modeling annual average daily traffic; inferring road maps from Global Positioning System traces; estimating spatial traffic states with location-based data; horizontal curve information vehicle detection and tracking;; integrating the publishing, archiving, and indexing of technical literature into the research process; and strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
