Committee Program
a. Invited Speakers and Topics
Wolfgang Steinickle – Berlin TELLUS case
The Berlin Tellus case study illustrated a research network of intermodal
transportation. The main components are: mobile parking, use of
compressed natural gas vehicles. The project summary: innovations can
make transit more attractive to users; legal and organizational issues are
barriers to acceptance, not technology; and barriers can be overcome by
seeking political solutions to issues and providing incentives to users.
The Committee was impressed with Wolfgang’s ability to leverage
political will to implement the project.
Dan Sturges – Going Conference and Beyond
Dan discussed enhancing first and last mile connectivity to transit. He
stressed the importance of integrating smaller, electric powered vehicles
into the mix. Many people came together at the Weststart-sponsored
Going Conference in Boulder in September 2004.
b. Papers
This year there were 25 papers submitted. Of these 7-8 can be published.
There were three Committee sessions and three poster sessions during the
2005 TRB Annual Meeting.

Committee Business
a. Subcommittee report – Matt Barth (the subcommittee was scheduled after
the AP020 committee, so no updates reported)
b. Activities or accomplishments since last meeting
1. Very successful call for papers
2. Emeritus appointment of Ed Neumann
3. Expanded committee with new members from different sector
c. Future Plans and Assignments
The committee discussed topics of interest to be included in next years’
call for papers. This process resulted in an interesting discussion about the
direction of the committee and individuals volunteering to follow-up
throughout the year.
The 2006 Call for Papers Subcommittee:
Yuval Grinspun, John Abraham, Richard Easley
The emphasis on the papers will be on research, not concepts.
Agreed upon topics include:
1. New ideas and technologies in the marketplace
(including for people with barriers)
2. Technology as a tool to lesson barriers
3. Lack of social, economic and political research data
4. Institutional/political barriers
5. Carsharing (general call)
6. Models for advising on technology
7. “Manual vehicles” low-speed modes – technology and health
8. Sensor/real-time technology and accepted accuracy
Application of AVL technology and next generation
9. Application of currently applied ITS technologies
(smart parking, AVL, pricing)
10. Innovations and potential for high impact
11. New ideas with guidance from experience (lessons learned)
12. Trip linking
13. Real-time transit information
14. Comprehensive bundling of modes, including pedestrians
Strategic Plan Subcommittee:
The AP020 committee is required to submit a triennial strategic plan in
2006. The group agreed to pick a template (designed by Steven Silkunas—
draft attached). Others agreed to start thinking about content for the
2
strategic plan this year, including: Allen Greenberg, Richard Easley,
Yuval Grinspun, Franz Gimmler, and Dan Sturges.
6.
Other Business
a. Recommendations, motions, requests for Council or Staff action
Susan Shaheen is the new chair of this committee. She stressed the
importance of active committee membership and calling upon members
and friends to assist with paper review given the ambitious list of topics
discussed (above).
b. Conferences, workshops, other activities of interest to members
c. The Rail-Volution conference is in Salt Lake City in September. It could
be an opportunity to re-group with members of this committee.
d. Critical Issues: The committee discussed a range of critical issues,
including: people older than 100 years of age; suppression of new ideas
(i.e., it’s hard for new ideas to break through)—tech transfer; high speed
long distance transportation systems; involving users (market needs to
take innovations up before they are regulated); economics (path
dependence, impacts, unintended consequences); part-time
telecommuting; lack of social, environmental, economic information on
innovation; institutional issues (legal issues, human issues); documenting
success stories in innovation; carsharing for older drivers; analysis of
technologies—state of modeling and how to model new technologies;
health crisis (smaller devices, low-speed modes); current state of wireless
technology—customer applications at intermodal facilities and sensor
technologies, and AVL technologies (data are poor).
This is a special note of thanks to Linda Novick for preparing the minutes. Thanks,
Linda!
