Proposed Term

Term Proposed by*

TRT Subcommittee comments
Conference Call Decisions
Animal vehicle collisons
appears 81 times in TRIS Online

Endorse this heading.

It is also the lead-in term to LCSH "Traffic safety and wildlife". If adopted, RT2 to "Road kill" needed.

ST:  Other terms in the stew:  Roadside fauna, preferred over Roadside animals, and Wildlife, which my dictionary says includes vegetation.  Wildlife-vehicle collisions also appears in TRIS, but I like animal-vehicle collisions because it is more precise.

AE: Shouild be added as PT or NPT. Should consider for next round

include as PT in Q1 2010 terms to consider notation
General purpose lanes
NTL - wait for more usage; Anne Whitney - I am indexing an item regaring single versus high occupancy lanes for WSDOT. Since it is a comparison of two different types of lanes under different conditions, I'd like to establish General purpose lanes, referred to by engineers as GP lanes. Please see: http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/research/reports/fullreports/643.1.pdf 5/23/2007
Anne Whitney, WSDOT
ST:  I support adding this as an NT under Traffic lanes.  TTI is also using the term to distinguish from HOV lanes.
AE: Would rather see it added. WSDOT, FHWA, HSIS and HPMS use this term quite often.
include in Q1 2010 as PT for notation review.
Location based services
wait for more usage per NTL committee conference call with MK
Michael Kleiber* (see note below table)
ST: Let's see how this evolves.  Location-based to me sounds like AT the location rather than ABOUT the location.  Traveler information terms can be used in the meantime.
KL: This is a growing field of ITS research and applications are being developed for both AT and ABOUT the location. RT Intelligent transportation systems.
AE Agree with Kendra
OK -- will review in December 2010
Vehicular ad hoc networks (Computer networks)

Term is needed. 24 uses in TRIS. RT2 to "Vehicle to vehicle communications". Matches LCSH.

Michael Kleiber* (see note below table)
KL: I'm of two minds about this. The term is definitely needed, but whether or not it belongs in Facet X is debatable. It could also be just "Ad hoc networks" under "Networks" (Syn) and then post coordinated.
AE: Agree with Kendra. It is needed. Rather see this as Post coordinated Ad-Hoc Networks and Vehicles
include in Q1 2010 as PT for notation review.
*NOTE: terms proposed by column may be inaccurate as the last person to edit an item in TRIS system is listed as person who porposed the term. This will be corrected in future quarterly reviews.
