The NJDOT Research Library maintains a “Did You Know” page to share basic facts about the research library's operations, available transportation research resources, and newly issued publications. The NJDOT Research Library has compiled a list of searches for recent publications indexed in the TRID database, based on 37 subject areas, covering all modes and disciplines of the transportation field.
TRID (Transport Research International Documentation) is the world's largest and most comprehensive bibliographic resource on transportation research information. It combines the records from the Transportation Research Information Services (TRIS) database of the Transportation Research Board (TRB) and the Joint Transport Research Centre’s International Transport Research Documentation (ITRD) database of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
TRID helps researchers locate solutions to problems, avoid duplication of work, and save resources. It includes records of AASHTO publications, federal and state DOT reports, University Transportation Center (UTC) reports, and commercial journal literature, among other sources. It also satisfies the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requirements to consult TRB's TRIS databases to identify ongoing or previously completed research on a given topic.
To keep the results manageable, these searches do not include current or recently completed transportation research projects.
To expand your search to projects, or for any other research questions, please contact Eric Schwarz, the NJDOT Research Librarian, at eric_cnslt.schwarz@dot.nj.gov or 609-963-1898.
Recently Issued TRB Publications and ASTM Standards
The NJDOT Research Library maintains a “Did You Know” page to share basic facts about the research library, transportation research resources, and newly issued publications. The TRB Publications, May to June 2022 list includes recently published research in operations and traffic management, data information and technology, bridges and structures, pavements, safety and human factors, and construction, among others.
The most recent TR News, May-June 2022, features several articles on Pavement Preservation, Maintenance and Rehabilitation. In all, some 30+ research and general readership articles on pavements were issued through TR News and the Journal of the Transportation Research Board, Transportation Research Record.
For those who are not pavement lovers, a few planning and economic articles caught our eye, including:
- Data-Driven Food Desert Metric to Understand Access to Grocery Stores Using Chi-Square Automatic Interaction Detector Decision Tree Analysis This analysis utilized respondents in Baltimore to generate how to indicate a food desert using data. The researchers discovered that income is the biggest driver ahead of vehicle ownership and made a model that is replicable.
- Factors Affecting Driving Cessation of Older Adults and Their Satisfaction with Mobility Options This survey investigates how elderly adults choose to get around as they age and what influences those choices. The survey explores their experiences in walking and driving. It also makes suggestions about why some drivers choose to retire from driving and some continue to drive as they age.
- Asymmetric Gasoline Price Effects on Public Transit Ridership: Evidence from U.S. Cities This paper explores how gas prices and transit service impact transit ridership short and long-run transit ridership. It indicates that shot term growth in ridership can be gained with increased service, but gas prices can serve a more impactful driver to ridership in the long term.
The ASTM Standards, January to April, 2022 list includes recently proposed and revised ASTM standards. As a reminder, the ASTM Book of Standards is available through the ASTM COMPASS Portal for NJDOT employees.

- Value-Engineering Methodology for the Selection of an Optimal Bridge System. This study introduces a systematic multi-criteria Value-Engineering (VE) approach for the selection of a sustainable bridge system. For this pilot study, the VE methodology and analysis is presented for a proposed long-span bridge at Tremley Point in New Jersey that would provide a direct link between Carteret and Linden and the New Jersey Turnpike. The research shows how VE can be applied to produce savings among bridge design alternatives.
