Abstract

Instructions are taken from the TRB Information for Authors: http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/AM/InfoForAuthors.pdf.

If you would like information on how to use templates, please visit http://tti.tamu.edu/group/communications/word-template-instructions/.

The abstract must be no longer than 250 words, it must be self-contained, and it must not require reference to the paper to be understood. In some cases, only the abstract is read; in other cases, an abstract prompts further reading of the entire paper. The abstract should present the primary objectives and scope of the study or the reasons for writing the paper; the techniques or approaches should be described only to the extent necessary for comprehension; and findings and conclusions should be presented concisely and informatively. The abstract should not contain unfamiliar terms that are not defined, undefined acronyms, reference citations, or displayed equations or lists.

Introduction

The length of each paper, including the abstract and references, may not exceed 7,500 words. Each table, figure, or photograph accompanying the text counts as 250 words.

Indent the first line of paragraphs. However, do not indent the first line after a subhead. Do not use an extra line space between paragraphs.

Please refer to the guidelines for instructions on figure captions, table titles, subheads, equations, and acronyms.

Placement of figures depends on the stage of the paper:

In a manuscript submitted for peer review, figures and tables are embedded in the body of the report.

In a manuscript submitted for publication in the Transportation Research Record, figures and tables appear at the end of the document (one per page). A List of Table and Figures appears before the figures and tables themselves.

Do not use appendices.

Acknowledgment

Authors of papers that report results of research sponsored directly or indirectly by federal programs should indicate this sponsorship here.

References

The reference list should contain only sources that are cited in the text, in the order in which they are first cited. Bibliographic lists will not be published. Denote a reference at the appropriate place in the text with an italicized Arabic numeral in parentheses. Do not denote text references with superscripts.

For unpublished sources, cite the unpublished work in the text and enclose the author’s name along with the term “unpublished data” in parentheses. Do not repeat a reference in the list, and do not use latin abbreviations for repeating a source. Instead use the endnote number first assigned to the reference.
