      <title>Recommendations for Improvement of Collegiate Flight Training Operational Efficiency Through Guided-Inquiry Inductive Learning</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1392234</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Efficiency in higher education has increasingly come under scrutiny as student debt levels continue to increase and the quantification of the value provided to students by colleges remains elusive. Collegiate flight training operations are especially subject to such scrutiny, due to their expense and to continued below-average entry-level salaries in the airline industry. This research examines an inductive learning approach combined with a flipped classroom, whereby aviation management students in a large Midwestern collegiate aviation program analyzed the operational efficiency of their primary flight training operation and recommend potential solutions and means of implementation. Such an approach provides multiple benefits. The resulting improvement in scheduling efficiency results in better use of existing capacity, and can be utilized to allow additional students to matriculate in the program, subsequently reducing student fees for all enrolled students by spreading fixed costs over a wider customer base. In addition, the management students participated in the development and implementation planning of empirical solutions to the problem, thereby addressing a call from industry to incorporate practical projects in the classroom to achieve greater comprehension and retention of subject matter. A number of alternative assessment methods [1], including semi-structured student interviews, surveys, peer evaluations, and analysis of deliverables, were utilized, and these indicated that classroom engagement and subject matter retention was improved by the delivery methods that were employed.]]></description>

      <title>Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL), A Teaching Method From Physical Sciences, Promotes Deep Student Learning In Aviation</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1123985</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This article reports on the use of Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) to promote student learning in the field of aviation.  POGIL is a teaching strategy used primarily in chemistry or biology, to stimulate deeper student learning by teaching content and process skills together.  A classroom using POGIL consists of small groups of students working on specifically designed problems and materials; teachers serve as guides and discussion facilitators.  The study was conducted over two consecutive semesters after the author participated in a POGIL training workshop. The first semester (the control group) was conducted the same way as the author had always taught the courses – lecture-based and content-focused; the second semester, the same two classes (IFR Regulations and Procedures; and Aviation Law) were taught using POGIL.  Identical syllabi, course content, classroom materials, management software (class website), and assessment tools were used for both control and experimental groups.  The author reports results from measured test scores on identical assessment instruments between the control and experimental groups; results indicate that the use of POGIL can significantly increase the depth of student learning in collegiate aviation classes with or without a flight lab.  The author concludes that, while a drawback to adopting POGIL is the initial amount of preparation in terms of learning the POGIL method as a teacher, student learning in both flight lab courses and non-flight lab courses can be significantly improved by implementing POGIL.]]></description>

      <title>Travel Survey Methods in Latin America</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/839748</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Because practically no publications about official travel survey guidelines or reports or experiences and/or results are available in the majority of the countries in the region, the author had to resort to an Internet based inquiry.  This took the form of a simple request for information sent to a large number of scholars and officials in most of Latin America.  In some cases, this produced minimal information, while in others it produced a sizeable amount of information, in yet others a link to another person who was knowledgeable in the subject, and so on.  At the end of the time period (the inquiry lasted for two months) the authors obtained fourteen responses from eight countries; in addition, published data from Chile was obviously available.  This chapter summarizes the information in the simplest possible manner.]]></description>

      <title>Paper 5: Assignments with Purpose: Using LTPP for Educating Tomorrow's Engineer</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/793741</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The overall scope of this paper involves a university perspective on how the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program can be used to educate and train skilled engineers in the pavement sector.  Building on a presentation at the 2003 Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting, this paper first presents a context for using the LTPP data.  In formulating and addressing the use of the data, the following main points are discussed:  education and training using LTPP, development of assignments with purpose, discussion of using LTPP to develop pavement research themes, and conclusions.  The paper is directed primarily at academics.  However, it does have relevance to the public and private sectors, as it directs assignments that will result in highly qualified people and potential leaders in the field of pavement engineering.  It also recognizes the competing demands that face academics, so the assignments are intended to be straightforward and are designed for academics with limited preparation time.  Overall there is a need to produce intelligent engineers with good problem-solving skills.  Thus, the primary focus is to encourage independence and creativity through inquiry-based learning.  In summary, the basic premise of this paper is that good design, construction, and maintenance of long-life pavements can be realized most effectively in education and training through inquiry-based learning with LTPP.]]></description>

      <title>An Application of Multidisciplinary Education to a Campus-Community Partnership to Reduce Motor Vehicle Accidents</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/759786</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This article reports on a collaborative campus-community partnership program undertaken to provide the framework for an intervention to reduce motor vehicle accident fatalities along a rural Appalachian highway.  Students from public health, nursing, and medicine worked with community members to identify the program and plan strategies to address it.  The project used an inquiry-based strategy in which students are placed in guided learning situations where their investigations lead to working solutions.  The inquiry-based model matched the curricular objectives of the Community Partnership Program (CPP) more closely than the classroom oriented problem-based learning approach.  Outcomes of the project included a measurable reduction in automobile-related fatalities and the initiation by the state department of transportation steps to undertake physical improvements to the roadway.  The authors contend that through this model, students gained real life experience in applied principles of health statistics, epidemiology, community organization, health risk communication, health education planning, and program implementation.]]></description>

      <title>HIGHWAY INQUIRIES--THE ISSUE OF TRAFFIC FORECASTING</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/182090</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The issue of whether the reliability and statistical validity of the methods of traffic prediction, used by the Department of Environment, are suitable for investigation at local inquiries into draft schemes for the construction of motorways is critically examined. In particular, the effect of the recent decision of the House of Lords in Bushell v. Environment Secretary 7 February, 1980 is considered. The Highways (Inquiries Procedure) Rules, 1976 were not in force at the time of this local inquiry; however, the express rights of statutory objectors to cross-examine persons giving evidence at a local inquiry are examined.]]></description>

      <title>PATH FINDING ALGORITHMS AND DATA STRUCTURES FOR POINT-TO-POINT TRIP MANAGEMENT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/50568</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This report identifies and characterizes the data base and computer software requirements of a Point-to-Point Trip Management )PTPRM) System which provides detailed transit trip itineraries in response to inquiries made by prospective passengers.  The requirements fall into four categories, corresponding to successive states in processing such as inquiry: (1) reception and interpretation; (2) location and connection; (3) path calculation; and (4) report.  Procedures for path calculation are discussed in detail, including techniques for improving shortest path algorithm performance both through optimized computational schemes and through special methods of representing and manipulating the data base describing transit routes and schedules.  Estimates, based on step-by-step schemes presented in an appendix, indicate that computation time will be sufficiently small (less than one second per request) that on-line path computation is feasible.  Since path finding represents only a fraction of the total time spend in answering a request for itinerary, a queuing model is developed to establish how many formerly lost calls would be captured by a computerized system which achieved a prescribed fractional saving in service time; illustrative application of this model indicates a sharp reduction in lost calls.]]></description>

      <title>THE ROAD CHECKLIST--A PERIODICAL INQUIRY REGARDING TRAFFIC</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/45197</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The purpose of the inquiry regarding traffic is to gather qualitative and quantitative information as to the behavior of the drivers, so as to relate them to the characteristics of those involved in deaths and bodily injuries and thus to appraise the criteria of expose to the risk.  We illustrate this method of comparison by assessment of the effectiveness of safety seat belts.  It is found that in 1972, in the absence of a regulation requiring use of the belt and of any general speed limit, the risk of being involved in a death or bodily injury was greater if the person used his seat belt than if he did not; but that since use of the belt has been made mandatory, the risk has been reduced by nearly two-thirds. This relative risk is now approximately 0.6.  This is attributable to the fact that use of a seat belt is reflected in an initial phase (optional use), from the behavioral standpoint, in an assumption of risk which may exceed the norm, and is reflected in a second phase (mandatory use) in a conversion of involvement in death or bodily injury into involvement in property damage; as these two factors have contrary effects, it is normal to observe such a variation in the rate of risk over two years.]]></description>
