摘要: Serving as a national clearinghouse for transportation information has been a central focus of the Transportation Research Board (TRB) since its inception as the National Advisory Board on Highway Research in 1920. Access to International Transportation Research Information: A Conference, held September 1213, 2012, at the National Academy of Sciences Building in Washington, D.C., focused on the sharing of transportation research information internationally. TRBs Transportation Research Information Services (TRIS) database began to include English-language records from countries other than the United States in the 1970s. Most of these records came from the International Transport Research Documentation (ITRD) database. A 2010 agreement increased collaboration by integrating the TRIS and ITRD databases into the Transport Research International Documentation (TRID) database, which contains more than 940,000 bibliographic references to books, technical reports, conference proceedings, and journal articles. Much transportation research from many other countries, however is not well indexed. Some countries have internal databases that are not readily accessible to foreign researchers, and some multinational organizations have developed separate databases. This document was organized to explore these issues and to identify opportunities to enhance the sharing of information.
