Committee Consensus:
PARK-- concept of "accerlated" is relative and therefore not useful for the long-term.

Committee Consensus:
OK to add pendng Need a definition; this is about bicycling and safety of the cyclist as opposed to the vehicle. NTL will also suggest RTs for committee consensus by COB Monday, 7 June

Notation: Rbmdc
BT: Ceramic materials
RT: Adhesives
NTL Comments:
MK Comments: notation “Rbmnde” would be a better choice inasmuch as it would place “Cementious materials” next to Mortar and Grout.
BP - Agree with Sandy's earlier comment need definition. Not sure if belongs under Ceramic Materials
AE: Note spelling change above to Cementious. Agree with Michael. Cementitious materials are a binder for the Cement mixture.
Definition: Substances that alone have hydraulic cementing properties (set and harden in the presence of water). Includes: ground granulated blast furnace slag, natural cement, hydraulic hydrated lime, and combinations of these and other materials. (from http://www.pavement.com/glossary/c.html)
Discussion:
Committee Consensus:
TEMP PARK: until Q3 2010; Andy to confer with SME's on whether cement stays or moves to Adhesives; would move to add under Adhesives according to MK's comments. Use definition from www.pavement.com listed by Andy above; add scope note that defines when to use cementitious materials versus cement.

BT: Transporation planning
NTL Comments: literature reviewed focused on developing a plan; "Property management" facet under organiztation does not address surface.
MK Comments: This is more a legal/administrative/operational terms and belongs in Facet C as an NT of Right of way (Land). Suggest notation Cqec
Discussion:
BP: We need an expert definition and look at placement. Definitely should be term but not sure if placement is correct
AE: Disagree with Michael.
regarding NTL comment,This term should not be used to index documents about property management. Right of Way should be used. Term has mixed use. it is primarily a policy and planning term related to plans regarding the management of corridors. It also used by Traffic Operations to refer to managing traffic flow/congestion. I would place it under planning. For Traffic Congestion USE Integrated Corridor Management
From Vermont Corridor Management Handbook-- The term corridor management refers to the practice of identifying and

BT: Distraction
NPT: Distracted driving, Distracted drivers
NTL Comments: NTL likes "Human factors in accidents" over "high risk drivers", but still prefers overall, "Driver distraction" under "Distraction" which was initial recommendation in Q1 2010
MK Comments: Although driver distraction is possibly one accident cause, this term belongs as an NT of “Distraction”, i.e., a type of distraction, not a type of human factor. Suggest notation: Mxw
Discussion:
AE: For this domain, do we care about distractions not related to accidents? I would suggest moving 'Distraction' from under 'Human Characteristics' to under 'Human Factors in Accidents' then place 'Driver Distraction' under 'Distraction'. We may want to look at the 'Human Characteristics' sub-facet to see if the terms wouldn't fit under 'Human Factors in Accidents.'
Committee Consensus:
TEMP PARK: NTL take a look at the literature under Distraction to determine the best place in the TRT based on content.

MK Comments: Please refer to LCSH 85064471. This is equipment and related systems related to Scanning and belongs in Dmgs as part of Identification system/equipment.

OK to add; RT: ITS
Notation: Huu
BT: Crimes
NTL Comments: low usage in the literature but this term fits in with pedestrian safety and livability strategic initiatives of USDOT
MK Comments: Heading used 5 times in TRIS not that compelling
Discussion:
BP: I do not view pedestrian violations as a crimes.
AE: Agree with Barbara. Does not fit under Huu. Would consider PARK til there is enough literary warrant.
Committee Consensus:
Do Not Add-- change the definition of traffic violations to reference violations of the law within the traffic right of way.

NPT: PHEV; Plugin hybrid vehicle; Plug-in hybrid; Plugin hybrid

MK Comments:
Discussion:
BP: PHEV; Plugin hybrid vehicle; Plug-in hybrid; Plugin hybrid not listed on Non-Preferred terms. Do we need all these non-preferred terms?
AE: APPROVE If the TRT is to be used for pluging into a search engine as well as for indexing, we need all of these NPTs The TRT is too light on NPTs to be useful to a search engine.
Committee Consensus:
OK for perferred term; review NPTs for next time; PHEV is not a candidate.

MK Comments:
Discussion:
AE: See http://www.tfhrc.gov/hnr20/recycle/waste/rap131.htm for definition. Not sure if Asphalt Pavements is the proper placement. This term has more to do with recycling, sustainability, and sustainable engineering practices. I have a contact in our materials Lab and will follow up with him.
Committee Consensus:
TEMP PARK: is this the same or different than recycled asphalt pavements

NTL Comments: anticipating increased usage based on currency and timeliness of topic
MK Comments:
Discussion:
BP: used 15 times in TRIS and not sure it is necessary now - ther termonology changes so fast - I would park for 6 months or a year
AE: PARK: Let's see where this concept does and if the literary warrant increases. I would consider 'Smartphone' to be a marketing term. We should use a more generic term and have 'Smartphone' as a NPT.
Committee Consensus:
OK to add; we'll watch for changing name for this concept
