Conference Call Consensus |
| Accelerated bridge construction |
Fcfba |
from Sep 09 recent uncontrolled terms list |
|
|
Temp Park until Q2 2010-NTL will follow up with Andy and SMEs |
| Animal-vehicle collisons |
Hbbgtca |
BT Collisions; Terms need to be hyphenated |
|
AE: Should this be added? Semantic factoring indicates no. The meaning to Collision doesn't change when you add 'animal-vehicle' I would rather see directions to use Collisions AND Vehicle AND Animal rather than the precoordination of this term. |
DO NOT ADD |
| Bridge construction |
Fcfb |
NTL added as a new facet to accommodate Accelerated bridge construction; NPT: ABC (accelerated bridge contsruction) |
agree with term and notation (pre-coordinated byt needed) |
BP: Agree
|
Temp Park until Q2 2010-NTL will follow up with Andy and SMEs |
| Corridor management |
Cqeac |
BT: Access control (Transportation); suggested on the Q4 2009 conference call term review |
the term I suggested was "integrated corridor management." The notation for that term would be Dcmthce as listed here [for corridor management as originally proposed by NTL before expert review]. Integrated corridor management involves traffic control on two or more facilities more or less running parallel (arterial, freeway, transit line, etc.). It is an FHWA/JPO program as well as a topic. "Corridor management" usually refers to managing access, impact mitigation, corridor preservation, etc. to the right of way of a highway. If that term is desired, a suggested notation is: Cqeac. |
AE: I agree with Michael. I also need some more information before making a decision. |
TEMP PARK for Q2 2010; ST suggested checking ramp metering as a method for access control; overall thought is that Corridor Management is broader than Access Control; ITS term; may need to appear in both places with parenthetical referenses as polyheirarchy; needs a good scope note |
| Diamond grinding |
Fmuhpt |
BT: Pavement maintenance |
agree with adding term. Since this action refers to the maintenance of pavements only. The notation should be Fmuhpt (see related terms Fmuhp…) |
AE: ADD |
OK to ADD |
| Distracted driving |
Mxwd |
BT: Distraction; adapted from uncontrolled term listing of "distracted drivers"; adding in anticipation of topic becoming more prevalent |
|
AE: What are we interested in here the activity or the driver?
BP: Agree with Andy - Should this be under distraction or drivers? |
TEMP PARK for Q2 2010 for new notation under M; treat as distracted drivers (should be under "high risk drivers") and distracted driving as NPT to "distracted drivers" |
| Fiber reinforced polymers |
Rbmdysgf |
BT: Fiiber reinforced materials; RT: Polymers; from Sep 09 pop uncontrolled terms list |
needs RT2 to Polymers (Rbcts) |
|
OK |
| Full-depth asphalt pavements |
Pmrcppbmbf |
BT: Asphalt pavements |
Term should be full-depth asphalt pavements and should have borader term: Asphalt pavements (not: Asphalt based materials) Pmrcppbmbf: Definition: An HMA pavement structure using HMA prodcuts for all components. The base material and surface courses are made of HMA instead of aggregate or other material. |
BP Agree with Michael |
OK |
| General purpose lanes |
Pmrcpmd |
BT Traffic lanes |
Term used only 10 times in TRIS. Don't seee the need now. Suggest parking. |
AE:PARK - I find it interesting that this term is not used much in the literature. When in the context of other types of lanes,operationally, this term is used extensively. It is a type of lane but many times assumed as is the term 'mainline'. |
OK |
| High speed rail |
Qbfxh |
swap with High speed trains due to ubiqitious and high-profile use as well as ambiguity in topic (see SME response); RT High speed ground transportation; look at Q4 2009 research and switch for PT: high speed trains; |
|
AE: Agree on switch.
BP: Agree
PRB: Paul Burley does not like the tern |
OK |
| Hull resistance |
Smdgh |
BT: Fluid resistance; from Sep 09 recent uncontrolled terms list |
|
|
TEMP PARK for Q2 2010; move to a naval engineering facet |
| Integrated corridor management |
Dcmthce |
BT: Congestion management systems; integrated corridor management discussion at http://www.transportationresearch.gov/NTL/TRT/Research%20Wiki/November%202009%20(Q4)%20Proposed%20Preferred%20Terms.aspx |
the term I suggested was "integrated corridor management." The notation for that term would be Dcmthce as listed here [for corridor management as originally proposed by NTL before expert review]. Integrated corridor management involves traffic control on two or more facilities more or less running parallel (arterial, freeway, transit line, etc.). It is an FHWA/JPO program as well as a topic. "Corridor management" usually refers to managing access, impact mitigation, corridor preservation, etc. to the right of way of a highway. If that term is desired, a suggested notation is: Cqeac. |
|
TEMP PARK for Q2 2010; deal with this term alongside Corridor Management |
| Internal organs |
Mykv |
swap with Viscera (make it NPT); look at Q4 2009 research and switch for PT: viscera |
Do not agree. See my arguments in 2009 Q4 review and the fact that Viscera is both an LCSH and a Medline authorized term. It is a mistake to use this non-standard term in its place. |
AE:AGREE. Non-standard or not, it doesn't matter what LCSH or Medline uses. The audience for the TRT, LCSH and Medline are different. The question is will OUR users search using the term viscera or internal organs. My vote is internal organs. User warrant is more important than using standardized terms. The goal of a thesaurus for indexing is findability. |
OK |
| Invasive species |
Jcmpu |
BT Living things detrimental to human activity |
Conceptually "Invasive species" is a BT to "Invasive plants" (in TRT as Jcmpu). If one wants to be a purist, then make "Invasive species" Jcmpu and change Invasive plants to Jcmpui. Or instead of adding Invasive species, add "Invasive animals." Then both plants and animals will be covered. |
AE: I agree with MK |
TEMP PARK for Q2 2010; Andy will talk to biologist; NTL will look at placing invasive species and plants to "Ecosystems" facet -- JE |
| Legal status |
Csml |
BT: Legal factors |
|
|
OK |
| Structural health monitoring |

after consultation, this is inspection function; Q4 2009 discussion: http://www.transportationresearch.gov/NTL/TRT/Research%20Wiki/November%202009%20(Q4)%20Proposed%20Preferred%20Terms.aspx |
