The TRB Annual Meeting Online (AMOnline Portal) includes the papers, presentation slides, and posters from the 2011-2018 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.

Step 2: Searching

There are many ways to search for content in the AMOnline Portal.  A simple "keyword" search is shown at the right. 

Search by title:
Example: "Road User Education and Multimodal Planning: Can Capability Be Part of the Process"
Note: Omit quote marks shown in example above for the actual search.
 

Search by author:
Example: John Miller
Note: Omit quote marks shown in example above for the actual search.
 

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."

Step 3: Selecting a Resource

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.
