THE CONFERENCE
Established in February 1996, the Hong Kong Society for Transportation Studies (HKSTS) aims to foster excellence in transportation research and practice, stimulate professional interchange in transportation, and provide a forum for exchanging ideas on transportation developments.
Nowadays, in order to provide smooth traffic flow, high degree of safety and sustainable urban environment, smart transportation systems become popular. The system includes the integrated application of advanced management strategies and emerging technology. Such evolution can enhance the current transportation system and comes out positive in benefit-cost analyses. It is considered to be essential especially in addressing the challenges of complex matrix within mega cities.
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 smart transport systems and their impacts. The technical program may include plenary sessions, paper presentations and interactive sessions.
