1st European Symposium on Quantitative Methods in Transportation Systems

The Symposium is an interdisciplinary intermediate-size research conference on transportation research in general, and quantitative methods for transportation systems in particular. The Symposium will bring together major experts and most promising young researchers in the fields of Transportation Modeling, Operations Research, Economics, Physics, Logistics in a setting highly suitable for scientific discussion and active interaction in relatively small groups.

Dates: September 4-7 2012, Lausanne (Switzerland)

Abstract submission deadine is extended to April 5, 2012 (final)

The scope of the symposium includes all aspects of quantitative methods for analysis and design of transportation systems, including:

 

-           Traffic flow theory and operations

-           Active Traffic Management

-           Transportation Economics

-           Public Transport

-           Networks

-           Intelligent Transportation Systems

-           Multimodal Transport Systems
