THE CONFERENCE

In today's increasingly global and interconnected world, more people live in urban areas than rural areas. By 2030, there will be over 40 mega-cities with over 10 million inhabitants each. Needs for greater mobility yet concerns for the environment engender new challenges and demands on transport systems and metropolitan spaces. On the other hand, the ubiquitous availability of data on a mega-scale opens up opportunities for new directions and paradigms for the design, planning and operations of urban and regional transport systems. New analytics models, theory and algorithms are called for to meet the challenges for sustainable transport for cities and communities of the future.

Practitioners and academics are cordially invited to share their knowledge, experience and insights on the design, analytics, investigations, analysis, planning, operation, engineering, co-ordination and management of transport systems and their impacts. The technical program may include plenary sessions, paper presentations and interactive sessions.

SUBMISSION OF PAPER

Authors are invited to submit abstracts of 300 to 500 words by the deadline of 15th April, 2015.
