TRANSPORT is a bibliographic database of transportation research information. It is produced by the 25-nation Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), headquartered in Paris, together with the United States' Transportation Research Board (TRB) and the 31 nations of the European Conference of Ministers of Transport (ECMT).

TRANSPORT combines the following databases:

Transportation Research Information Services (TRIS) from TRB includes 300,000 bibliographic citations, most with abstracts, of research information on all surface transportation modes, air transport, and highway safety.

International Transport Research Documentation (ITRD) from OECD contains 200,000 abstracts on highway research provided by OECD member countries. Note: this organization was known formerly as International Road Research Documentation (IRRD).

TRANSDOC from ECMT contains 37,000 abstracts of transportation economics literature as well as bibliographic records provided by the International Union of Railways (UIC). These records are present in the database prior to 2000 only.

The limit of databases that you can select for a multifile search session is based upon database segments rather than actual databases. The Ovid multifile segment limit is set at 120 to avoid impacting your search sessions. This database includes 2 segment.

This database is updated online Monthly.

Quotation marks can be used to retrieve records that contain literal strings, when the string includes special characters, such as a forward slash (/).

Quotation marks can also be used to retrieve records that contain numbers that may otherwise be confused for earlier searches. In the example, a search for 3.vo would limit the string from your third search in your search history to the volume field. By including the number in quotation marks, the search will retrieve documents with a 3 in the volume number.

Therefore a search: at risk for diabetes.ti will also find: at risk of diabetes. The distance of one word in between is kept, but the stopword "for" is ignored.

The Abstract (AB) field contains an abstract of the document. You can search for any word or phrase in this field.

Limit to Local Holdings will restrict retrieval to documents from journals held in your library or institution. If your OVID System Administrator has created any special messages about a journal's availability, this message will display with the document in the Local Holdings (LH) field.

A limit to English restricts retrieval to articles which are written in the English language.

The Publication Year (YR) field provides the year in which the document was published.

Field indicates the original language of the document. The name of the language can occur in English, French, or German, as listed below. Search all three versions of a language, for example, German, French and Italian, for comprehensive results.

A limit to latest update will restrict retrieval to documents which were most recently added to the database.

A limit to a Media Type will restrict retrieval to the specified content medium.

The Subfile (SB) limit indicates which of the following subfiles the record is from.

Currently no tools are available for this database.

Abstract
   A rational and practical method for the determination of highway capacity is
   essential in the sound economic and functional design of new highways and in
   the adaptation of existing roads to present or future needs. The cooperative
   efforts of the Bureau of Public Roads, the Highway Research Board Committee on
   Highway Capacity and many state, county, and city engineers, intensively
   applied in many places and for a number of years, have resulted in a great
   number of field observations. This report uses the data collected in these
   field observations to offer a practical guide to highway capacity that can
   provide engineers designing a new highway or revamping an old one assurance
   that the resulting actual capacity will be calculated. This issue of Public
   Roads offers the first of a two-part report on highway capacity. Included in
   this issue is an introduction to the report, definitions, and sections on
   maximum observed traffic volumes, fundamentals of highway capacity and roadway
   capacities for uninterrupted flow. The second part, to be published in the
   December 1949 issue of Public Roads, will address signalized intersections,
   weaving sections and unsignalized cross movements, ramps and their terminals,
   and relating hourly capacities to annual average volumes and peak flows.

Abstract
   This report represents the second phase of a research program of which theaim
   is to promote error tolerant intersections in Victoria and an error tolerant
   road transport system in Australia. Based on a review of the human
   error-related literature, a review of the human error-related research
   conducted to date and of the error management techniques that have previously
   been employed in other complex socio-technical systems, a conceptual framework
   for an error tolerant Australian road transport system was proposed. The
   proposed framework contains appropriate methods for the collectionand analysis
   of human error-related data within the Australian road transport system, and
   also a number of error management approaches and strategies that could
   potentially be used to reduce or manage road user error andthe conditions that
   lead to it. It is proposed that the framework for error tolerance be used
   during the next phase of this research program to inform the design of a pilot
   study of road user error and error-causing conditions at intersections in
   Victoria. (a)
