All VDOT employees have free and unlimited access to all TRB Annual Meeting Documents through the TRB AMOnline Portal.
Employees of TRB Sponsors, Annual Meeting Patrons must use their work email address to gain access to the material. Annual Meeting attendee registrants must login using the email address that was used during registration as their Username and their Annual Meeting 6-digit confirmation number (found on their name badge or registration confirmation) as their Password.
TIP: Using a browser like Chrome, you can save your login credentials so you won't have to enter them next time you visit the site.
The TRB Annual Meeting Online (AMOnline Portal) includes the papers, presentation slides, and posters from the 2011-2017 TRB Annual Meetings. The portal allows users to search for and download "free" full-text copies of all available papers and visual aids by session, presentation or paper number, or author.

Search by document number:
Example: 17-05893
Note: Search results will be returned "ranked for relevancy" with the most relevant results listed first. Please note some items appear identical in results, when in reality one item listed is the "poster" and another item is the "paper."
Search results are returned in order of relevancy. The title is a hypertext link that leads to the "full text" version of the document (See: Viewing Options, below).
General searches will result in large quantities of "potential" matches. Narrow down your search results with a more specific search string, or use the "Narrow Results" options on the left-hand side of the screen to filter by:
Named Person
Event (year)
Subject
File Type
NOTE: TRB does allow you to download the entire "Annual Meeting Compendium of Papers," which is approximately 2 GB of data which takes 2 or more hours to download as a "zip" file (See Important Links above). However, because VDOT employees have unlimited access to the AMOnline Portal, we recommend you only download the paper/poster/presentsion(s) you need when you need them. Please contact the library if you need assistance.
