20 ACADEMIC YEAR 2011â2012 Applications for the academic year 2011â2012 were due in May 2011. Thirty-one submissions were received from students representing 24 dif- ferent universities. The applicant pool included 21 PhD candidates and 10 masterâs degree candi- dates. The selection panel met in Washington, D.C., for 2 days in late July to evaluate the submittals. Eleven applicants were selected, each of whom would receive a stipend of $10,000 for successful completion of a research paper on the subject chosen by the applicant. For the first time, one stipend was shared by two students who were working together on one study. Completed papers were considered for presentation at the TRB Annual Meeting, and outstanding papers were selected for publication in the Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2325. In the list that follows, the name of the student author appears first, followed by the degree earned (in parentheses), the names of academic advisers or others who made specific contributions to the paper, the name of the university, and the title of the final paper as published in the Transportation Research Record. Abstracts of these papers are available in ACRP Research Results Digest 19, which can be accessed online at www.trb.org by searching on âACRP RRD 19.â 1. Sakib bin Salam (Masterâs) and B.
