Transportation Research Board (www.trb.org) annual meeting in next week in Washington DC, has a couple of sessions related to transportation demend management (TDM) and a long list of papers. Links below take you to abstracts for each paper.

Poster Session 553 New International Research in Transportation Demand and Parking Management
Tuesday, January 23, 2007, 2:30 PM - 5:00 PM, Hilton

Note: The increasing interest in strategies to manage transportation systems has prompted growing research into the effectiveness of various parking management and transportation demand management measures. This session provides exposure to various initiatives in managing transport and promoting more sustainable travel options, including parking guidance and information, employer commute management, bicycle and pedestrian improvements, and managed lanes.

Session 614 The New and the Old in Transportation Demand Management Initiatives: Reducing Car Use Through Personalized Travel Information and Carpooling
Tuesday, January 23, 2007, 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM, Hilton
Marcel Rommerts, European Commission, Belgium, presiding
Sponsored by: Transportation Demand Management Committee (ABE50)

Note: One traditional transportation demand management strategy is the promotion of carpooling. This session investigates who carpools and the implications of trip chaining on carpooling. Of growing interest are initiatives to provide improved information on travel choices, including advice tailored to individualized travels. Research on the effectiveness and implications of these strategies to reduce congestion, air pollution, and energy use are explored.
