Membership

Background

The committee is composed of national and international members providing expertise in the broad array of disciplines that compose the transportation-related noise and vibration field. Committees are limited to 25 members including the chairman (however, the committee may add an additional four members that are not from North America).

ADC40/A1F04 has a number of subcommittees which provide further focus on certain aspects of the full committee's areas of interest. The subcommittees are:
  • Aircraft Noise

  • Highway Noise

  • Rail / Mass Transit Noise


The full committee meets twice each year: at the TRB Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. (each January); and at the Committee's summer meeting, the time and place of which are determined by a different sponsoring transportation agency each year.

Committee activities include sponsoring paper and conference sessions at TRB Annual Meetings and at Committee summer meetings, and promulgating a Committee newsletter and a Directory of Committe Officials, Subcommittee Members, State Transportation Agency Members , and Friends of the Committee.

The Executive Director of TRB appoints committee members for a 3-year service period. Members of a committee are selected on the basis of their interest in and ability to contribute to the study of the subject or to the solution of the problem under consideration. Reappointments are limited by the National Academy of Sciences' requirements for substantial rotation of membership.

For more information about TRB committees and committee membership, contact the Transportation Research Board, or refer to the TRB publication Informational and Operational Guide.

Participation in committee activities varies with the level of interest and volunteer support a person wishes to give.

Members must have expertise and experience in transportation-related noise and/or vibration. Potential committee members are usually drawn from the pool of associate members.

Friends of the Committee are those who have an interest in the information generated by the committee and possibly some interest in participation in the form of peer review of annual meeting papers.
