Program Topics

These two events will bring together leading engineers and scientists in the transport simulation and traffic data collection fields worldwide.

The ISTS series focuses on the latest advanced research on modeling and applications of transport simulation, including simulation of vehicle movements, dynamic simulation of traffic flow on transport networks, pedestrian simulations in urban areas, and freight simulations. The ISTS series is the main gathering for the world's transportation and traffic academics and practitioners, and those who are interested in contributing to or gaining a deeper understanding of the transport simulation field. This symposium will focus on the scientific challenges and issues raised by new theoretical development in the traffic and transport fields as well as Intelligent Transportation Systems.
