The letter report provides advice about the future administration of data now being collected as part of SHRP 2’s safety research program.This letter report builds off of the Committee’s first letter report of May 3, 2013, that recommended a phased approach to the long-term administration of the driving-safety data. The first phase (Phase 1), which would be overseen by a governance board, would be a period of experimentation with the administration of the driving-safety data and its actual use for research purposes.In the October 14 report, the committee provides a set of principles intended to maximize the use of the data and to ensure that their use is appropriate (e.g., that privacy is protected) and sustained. In addition, the committee provides recommendations concerning priority issues for the governance board to consider and specific activities for obtaining key empirical information in Phase 1. %0 Book %A Transportation Research Board %A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine %T Long-Term Stewardship of Safety Data from the Second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) Letter Report: May 3, 2013 %D 2013 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/22583/long-term-stewardship-of-safety-data-from-the-second-strategic-highway-research-program-shrp-2-letter-report-may-3-2013 %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/22583/long-term-stewardship-of-safety-data-from-the-second-strategic-highway-research-program-shrp-2-letter-report-may-3-2013 %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Transportation and Infrastructure %P 0 %X On May 3, 2013, TRB’s Committee on the Long-Term Stewardship of Safety Data from the Second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) sent its first letter report to Victor Mendez, administrator of the Federal Highway Administration; David Strickland, administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration; and Bud Wright, executive director of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.The letter report provides advice on the future administration of data now being collected as part of SHRP 2’s safety research program. The report highlights the importance of an effective and rapid transition from data collection to widespread data use by researchers, and includes recommendations related to transition planning in anticipation of the time when SHRP 2 comes to an end in 2015.The committee that produced the report recommends a phased approach to the administration of the data, rather than entering into long-term agreements at this time based on insufficient information. The report discusses ownership, governance, and operation of the data during a first phase lasting about five years. As part of phase 1 planning and implementation to gain practical experience to inform long-term decision making, the committee recommends that potential user groups be identified, that rigorous estimates of cost elements for long-term implementation be obtained, and that evaluation criteria and a process for collecting lessons learned be established in ways that are not overly burdensome. %0 Book %A Transportation Research Board %A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine %T Graduate Research Award Program on Public-Sector Aviation Issues: 2012 %D 2012 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/22826/graduate-research-award-program-on-public-sector-aviation-issues-2012 %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/22826/graduate-research-award-program-on-public-sector-aviation-issues-2012 %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Transportation and Infrastructure %P 18 %X TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Research Results Digest 14: Graduate Research Award Program on Public-Sector Aviation Issues summarizes the results of the initial four years of the Graduate Research Award Program on Public-Sector Aviation Issues (ACRP Project 11-04).The program is designed to encourage applied research on airport-related aviation system issues and to foster the next generation of aviation community leaders.Under the program, up to ten awards of $10,000 each are made to full-time graduate students for successful completion of a research paper on public-sector airport-related aviation issues during the academic year.

As a service of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), ATC is almost exclusively staffed by federal employees. Following the controller strike of 1981, which resulted in the firing of two-thirds of controllers, congressional concerns about staffing were focused primarily on the overall size and rebuilding of the workforce. During the 1990s, however, congressional concerns shifted to questions about whether staffing levels are appropriate at the agency’s highest traffic locations.FAA has long had difficulty staffing its ATC centers, terminal radar approach control facilities, and other terminal facilities in metropolitan areas such as New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. In addition to being the most demanding locations because of the volume and types of traffic that must be handled, they are among the areas with the highest cost of living. Concerns about stressful working conditions and the amount of overtime required of workers at these locations have been raised regularly by the controllers’ union and sometimes by members of Congress.In the aftermath of the controllers’ strike, FAA developed analytical models for estimating the number of specialists required to control traffic safely. The application of these models to particular locations became a source of controversy between FAA and the controllers’ union. The committee formed to examine whether these models were sufficiently accurate for estimating staffing levels at specific locations determined that they could not be relied upon for this purpose. The models provide a useful starting point, but the staffing estimates they produce need to be adjusted on the basis of both local conditions and the norms that exist across FAA’s workplaces. The committee recommended a process that FAA could follow to make these adjustments. %0 Book %A Transportation Research Board %A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine %T Improving Safety-Related Rules Compliance in the Public Transportation Industry %D 2011 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/14593/improving-safety-related-rules-compliance-in-the-public-transportation-industry %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/14593/improving-safety-related-rules-compliance-in-the-public-transportation-industry %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Transportation and Infrastructure %P 116 %X TRB’s Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Report 149: Improving Safety-Related Rules Compliance in the Public Transportation Industry identifies potential best practices for all of the elements of a comprehensive approach to safety-related rules compliance.The categories of best practices, which correspond to the elements of a safety-related rules compliance program, include screening and selecting employees, training and testing, communication, monitoring rules compliance, responding to noncompliance, and safety management.The report also outlines the features of a prototype safety reporting system for public transportation. %0 Book %A Transportation Research Board %A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine %E Sharp, Ben H. %E Connor, Thomas L. %E McLaughlin, Donald %E Clark, Charlotte %E Stansfeld, Stephen A. %E Hervey, Joy %T Assessing Aircraft Noise Conditions Affecting Student Learning, Volume 2: Appendices %D 2014 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/22432/assessing-aircraft-noise-conditions-affecting-student-learning-volume-2-appendices %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/22432/assessing-aircraft-noise-conditions-affecting-student-learning-volume-2-appendices %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Transportation and Infrastructure %P 0 %X TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Web-Only Document 16: Assessing Aircraft Noise Conditions Affecting Student Learning, Volume 2: Appendices includes appendices A through G for ACRP Web-Only Document 16, Vol. 1, which explores conditions under which aircraft noise affects student learning and evaluates alternative noise metrics that best define those conditions. %0 Book %A Transportation Research Board %T Risk of Vessel Accidents and Spills in the Aleutian Islands: Designing a Comprehensive Risk Assessment - Special Report 293 %D 2009 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/12443/risk-of-vessel-accidents-and-spills-in-the-aleutian-islands %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/12443/risk-of-vessel-accidents-and-spills-in-the-aleutian-islands %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Environment and Environmental Studies %P 226 %X TRB Special Report 293, Risk of Vessel Accidents and Spills in the Aleutian Islands: Designing a Comprehensive Risk Assessment, provides guidance for a comprehensive risk assessment of vessel accidents and spills in the Aleutian Islands.

Numerous such standards have been introduced, including those mandating collapsible steering columns, nonlacerating windshields, safety belts, and air bags. Although the role played by these measures cannot be determined, the rate of motor vehicle fatalities has declined by 70 percent since 1966. Yet an annual toll in excess of 40,000 highway deaths suggests that more can be done in the area of vehicle safety. Mindful of the growing interest in motor vehicle safety features and the federal role in automotive safety, Congress requested a study of related consumer information needs in 1994. Consumers have increasingly been demanding and paying for more vehicle safety features, such as antilock braking systems and air bags. Consumer magazines, such as Consumer Reports, provide safety information about vehicles, and a prominent television program even features the crash test results of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The strong and growing consumer interest in safety indicates that the government could influence which vehicles and vehicle features consumers seek out to provide for their own safety.Perhaps the most common question consumers ask is which car is safest. Unfortunately, there is no good answer to this question. Many vehicle, driver, and roadside features influence crash outcomes in ways that are difficult to predict. The committee that produced this report concluded that the federal government could facilitate progress toward an overall measure of vehicle safety by investing in research and by working with experts in academia and industry. Because of the complexities involved and the current lack of adequate data on many salient variables, however, achievement of such a goal would take many years. In the nearer term, NHTSA could do much to improve the quality of existing information and convey it to consumers more clearly and efficiently. For example, the agency could give consumers a better understanding of the importance of vehicle dimensions for safety outcomes, the benefits of proper use of vehicle safety features, the frequency of crash types for which tests exist, and the uncertainties associated with crash tests themselves. %0 Book %A Transportation Research Board %A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine %T Strengthening the Safety Culture of the Offshore Oil and Gas Industry %D 2016 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/23524/strengthening-the-safety-culture-of-the-offshore-oil-and-gas-industry %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/23524/strengthening-the-safety-culture-of-the-offshore-oil-and-gas-industry %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Transportation and Infrastructure %P 240 %X TRB Special Report 321: Strengthening the Safety Culture of the Offshore Oil and Gas Industry offers recommendations to industry and regulators to strengthen and sustain the safety culture of the offshore oil and gas industry.

Congress requested this review of NASA's aviation safety-related research programs, seeking an assessment of whether the programs have well-defined, prioritized, and appropriate research objectives; whether resources have been allocated appropriately among these objectives; whether the programs are well coordinated with the safety research programs of the Federal Aviation Administration; and whether suitable mechanisms are in place for transitioning the research results into operational technologies and procedures and certification activities in a timely manner. Advancing Aeronautical Safety contains findings and recommendations with respect to each of the main aspects of the review sought by Congress. These findings indicate that NASA's aeronautics research enterprise has made, and continues to make, valuable contributions to aviation system safety but it is falling short and needs improvement in some key respects.
