2023 Innovations in Freight Data Workshop
The goal of the 2023 Innovations in Freight Data Workshop is to bring together diverse freight data users from across the modal spectrum to share recent innovations in the acquisition, integration/fusion, analysis, modeling, or visualization of freight data. The specific objectives of the workshop will be to share:

  • Latest applications of existing and emerging freight data sources and data fusion methods;
  • Applications of existing and emerging freight data sources and methods to meet local, federal, or international freight planning and performance measurement requirements;
  • Freight data tools that are adaptable, flexible, and user-friendly;
  • Freight data tools that leverage innovative private and public data sources while preserving their proprietary nature;
  • Experience and best practices for addressing new challenges associated with the use of new and emerging data sources and methods; and
  • Experience and best practices in the use of freight data to inform infrastructure and policy decision-making at all geographic scales.

TRB Freight Event Attendance Assistance Grants
In order to assist the professional development of young transportation practitioners, the Transportation Research Board is providing registration and travel grants to young researchers from state and local transportation departments and planning organizations. This assistance will be provided to the two authors or co-authors of the abstracts received that best exemplify the workshop objectives. Authors must be 35 or less years old, and the abstracts will be judged through the normal review process of the conference. Each prize will reimburse registration, travel, hotel, and subsistence expenses relative to attendance at the conference. Authors should indicate on their abstracts that they are applying for a grant, and where there are multiple authors, all of them must be aged 35 or less. Winners will be advised in advance of the workshop.

Generous support for these grants is provided by the Alan M. and Natalie P. Voorhees Fund at the Community Foundation of Northern Virginia.
