Transportation Knowledge Networks: Shaping the Future of Transportation Information Access
In response to recommendations of a recent TRB Policy Study (Special Report 284) sponsored by the AASHTO Standing Committee on Research, the National Highway Cooperative Research Program (NCHRP) Project 20-75 developed a business plan for Transportation Knowledge Networks (TKNs). TKNs seek to improve how transportation organizations access and share information—utilizing new institutional arrangements and current technology.
