Nikolaos Deligiannis presented his study regarding "Road Network Reliability" in a lectern session sponsored by Transportation Network Modeling (ADB30) committee and also in a poster session. "Resilient and Sustainable Transportation Network" was one of the "Hot" topics of this 95th TRB Annual Meeting

Afrid Sarker presented his recent research on Freight Reliability "Modeling Path-Based Reliability Using Truck GPS Data" sponsored by Standing Committee on Freight Transportation Economics and Regulation (AT010) and Standing Committee on Freight Transportation Data (ABJ90). This session included several presenters from the key players in Freight Industry, such as Cambridge Systematics, Resource Systems Group (RSG), FHWA, American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI).  Afrid also presented his current study on Secondary Crashes "Prediction of Secondary Crash Frequency on Highway Networks" in a poster session Sponsored by Transportation Safety Management (ANB10) committee.

Maxim Dulebenets presented a poster and also participated in lectern session. His lectern session topic was "Megaships in Marine Transportation: Critical Literature Review and Extensions" and poster was regarding "Robust Liner Shipping Scheduling: A Game Theoretic Approach". In both of these studies, Karlis Pujats was the co-author. Max also presided a poster session sponsored by the Standing Committee on Ports and Channels (AW010).

Khademul Haque presented his recent research on Truck Parking "Truck Parking Utilization Analysis Using Truck GPS Data" sponsored by Standing Committee on Trucking Industry Research (AT060).

Yuan Zhou presented "Liner Shipping Network Design of Inland and Sea Transportation Nodes: A Two-Stage Programming Approach" in the lectern session concerning "Transportation Infrastructure and Efficient Intermodal Freight Movement". This session was sponsored by the Standing Committee on Intermodal Freight Transport (AT045).

Dr. Stephanie Ivey presented the practice-ready paper on "Evaluation of Factors Affecting Livability in Freight-Centric Community in Memphis, Tennessee" in a poster session sponsored by the Urban Freight Transportation (AT025). Recent years have witnessed increased concern for urban freight transport because of the concentration of urban population and the negative externalities produced by freight movement. In a complex urban setting, coordinating freight movement needs into planning and management practices while reducing emissions and fuel consumption has become more and more challenging. This session showcases innovation, best practices, and the latest research in urban and regional freight transportation.

Dr. Sabysachee Mishra presented in several lectern and poster sessions (as follows). He also presided the annual meeting of Transit Fleet Maintenance Subcommittee, AP010(2).
Lectern Sessions:

  • Incorporating Sequencing of Transportation Projects in Network Design Problems, sponsored by Transportation Network Modeling (ADB30)
  • A Travel Time Reliability Estimation and Valuation Approach for Transportation Planning Applications, Sponsored by Standing Committee on Statewide Multimodal Transportation Planning (ADA10) and Standing Committee on Transportation Demand Forecasting (ADB40)

Poster Session:
He presented as the sole author of the recent study on "Consideration of Conflicting Objectives in Highway Safety Resource Allocation"
