Also, the report provides guidance to transit agencies on a variety of scheduling issues typically faced in a transit operating environment. TCRP Report 135 is an update to TCRP Report 30: Transit Scheduling: Basic and Advanced Manuals and addresses contemporary issues in transit scheduling. The appendixes to TCRP Report 135 were published as TCRP Web-Only Document 45: Appendixes to TCRP Report 135: Controlling System Costs: Basic and Advanced Scheduling Manuals and Contemporary Issues in Transit Scheduling.An interactive scheduling manual is available as an ISO image.

The oil type and properties, location, time of year, duration of spill, water depth, environmental conditions, affected biomes, potential human community impact, and available resources may vary significantly. Also, each spill may be governed by policy guidelines, such as those set forth in the National Response Plan, Regional Response Plans, or Area Contingency Plans. To respond effectively to the specific conditions presented during an oil spill, spill responders have used a variety of response options—including mechanical recovery of oil using skimmers and booms, in situ burning of oil, monitored natural attenuation of oil, and dispersion of oil by chemical dispersants. Because each response method has advantages and disadvantages, it is important to understand specific scenarios where a net benefit may be achieved by using a particular tool or combination of tools. This report builds on two previous National Research Council reports on dispersant use to provide a current understanding of the state of science and to inform future marine oil spill response operations. The response to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill included an unprecedented use of dispersants via both surface application and subsea injection. The magnitude of the spill stimulated interest and funding for research on oil spill response, and dispersant use in particular. This study assesses the effects and efficacy of dispersants as an oil spill response tool and evaluates trade-offs associated with dispersant use. %0 Book %A Transportation Research Board %A National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine %E Hanlin, Jason %E Reddaway, Darby %E Lane, Julia %T Battery Electric Buses—State of the Practice %D 2018 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/25061/battery-electric-buses-state-of-the-practice %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/25061/battery-electric-buses-state-of-the-practice %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Transportation and Infrastructure %P 198 %X TRB's Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Synthesis 130: Battery Electric Buses—State of the Practice documents current practices of transit systems in the planning, procurement, infrastructure installation, operation, and maintenance of battery electric buses (BEBs). The synthesis is intended for transit agencies that are interested in understanding the potential benefits and challenges associated with the introduction and operation of battery electric buses. The synthesis will also be valuable to manufacturers trying to better meet the needs of their customers and to federal, state, and local funding agencies and policy makers. %0 Book %A National Research Council %T Twenty-Fourth Symposium on Naval Hydrodynamics %@ 978-0-309-25470-0 %D 2003 %U https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/10834/twenty-fourth-symposium-on-naval-hydrodynamics %> https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/10834/twenty-fourth-symposium-on-naval-hydrodynamics %I The National Academies Press %C Washington, DC %G English %K Math, Chemistry, and Physics %P 1026 %X This report is part of a series of reports that summarize this regular event.
