Automated Highway Systems
Experts address some of the main issues and uncertainties associated with the design and deployment of Automated Highway Systems (AHS). They discuss new AHS concepts, technology, and benefits, as well as institutional, environmental, and social issues - concerns that will affect dramatically the operation of the current highway system from both the vehicle and infrastructure points of view.

Effective Removal of Pavement Markings
"TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 759: Effective Removal of Pavement Markings aids in the selection of safe, cost-effective, and environmentally acceptable practices for the removal of work zone and permanent pavement markings. The practices highlighted in this report emphasize minimal damage to the underlying pavement or visible character of the surface course." -- Publisher's description
Effect of Smart Growth Policies on Travel Demand
This report from the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2), which is administered by the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies, explores the underlying relationships among households, firms, and travel demand. The report also describes a regional scenario planning tool that can be used to evaluate the impacts of various smart growth policies.
Procuring and Managing Professional Services for Airports
" TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Report 87: Procuring and Managing Professional Services for Airports provides guidance for procuring and managing professional services at airports for use by airport owners and operators. For the purposes of this report, professional services include planning, environmental, architectural and engineering, information technology, financial, legal, and other key professional services provided to airports. The report covers the procurement process, including scoping, pre-selection process, selection criteria, evaluation, and contract negotiations, and processes for managing professional services contracts.

Framework for Collaborative Decision Making on Additions to Highway Capacity
This report from the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2), which is administered by the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies, describes a framework—including for long-range planning, corridor planning, project programming, environmental review, and environmental permitting— that supports collaborative business practices for reaching decisions on adding highway capacity when necessary.
Evaluating Pavement Strategies and Barriers for Noise Mitigation
"TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 738: Evaluating Pavement Strategies and Barriers for Noise Mitigation presents a methodology for evaluating feasibility, reasonableness, effectiveness, acoustic longevity, and economic features of pavement strategies and barriers for noise mitigation. The methodology uses a life-cycle cost analysis to examine the economic features of mitigation alternatives, the FHWA Traffic Noise Model to integrate the noise reduction performance of pavements and barriers, and on-board sound intensity measurements as an input to the prediction model. The appendixes contained in the research agency's final report provide elaborations and detail on several aspects of the research. The appendixes are not included with the print version of the report, but are available online." --Publisher description.
