Current Bibliographies for Selected Transportation Topics

Whether you need answers fast or you are not familiar with a subject or its terminology, a timely and effective quest for knowledge can be challenging.  We've taken the guesswork out of the search for information on current topics of interest. 

The literature search results below are compiled at the time you click on them, so they never go out-of-date like traditional bibliographies and lists.  Each subject area retrieves the latest publications added to the National Transportation Library (NTL) Digital Repository, The Transportation Research Information Database (TRID), our own Dorothy Peyton Gray Transportation Library catalog, or the OCLC WorldCat member libraries' collections.

The NTL Digital Repository contains primarily technical, research and policy documents provided by federal, state, local, tribal and other government agencies.

TRID, unveiled in 2011, is a newly intergrated database that combines the records from the TRB's Transportation Research Information Services (TRIS) Database and the OECD's Joint Transport Research Centre's international Transport Research Documentation (ITRD) Database. TRID provides access to over 900,000 records of transportation research worldwide, with search results presented in reverse chronological order to help you find the latest resources available.

WorldCat is the world's largest network of library content and services, allowing you to search the collections of libraries in your area and thousands more around the world for relevant information in every imaginable format, including books, audiovisual materials, scholarly articles, and digital resources.  By entering your location, you can find the titles you want in library collections closest to you.

Bear in mind that keyword searches do not take into account variations in synonyms, acronym usage, pluralization, and any variant spelling.  Also, TRIS Online offers many additional citations and abstracts for documents which are not available with full-text and are not included in the search results presented here. 

We invite you to familiarize yourself with these powerful, dynamic tools and explore these up-to-the-minute resources.
