Members and friends of the Congestion Pricing Committee:
FYI only… I thought you might be interested in some of the statistics regarding the recent paper submission at TRB.
-
TRB received a record 5200 papers by the August 1 deadline, breaking last year's record of 4600 papers
-
The target acceptance rate for the 2014 Transportation Research Record (TRR) is 22% of the papers submitted for consideration for publication in the TRR. (Note that, of the 5200 papers submitted,
4500 were submitted for consideration for publication in the TRR.)
-
As in recent years, the number of session "chits" for the 2014 meeting will be 2.3 sessions per committee
-
The overall theme for the 2014 meeting is "Celebrating Our Legacy. Anticipating Our Future". Subthemes expected to be spotlighted include the changing energy landscape, extreme weather events,
automated driving & connected vehicles, big data, and performance measurement. Sessions addressing these areas are encouraged.
