THE INSTITUTE OF MATHEMATICS AND ITS APPLICATIONS
5th IMA Conference on Mathematics in Transport
Hosted by the Centre for Transport Studies, University College London Monday
12th April – Wednesday 14th April 2010
CALL FOR PAPERS
The conference will bring together academics and practitioners with an
interest in the application of mathematics within all aspects of transport
planning, management and analysis. Papers are sought that describe novel
applications of mathematical or statistical methods applied to any mode or
form of transport.
Topics to be included within the conference will apply branches of
mathematics such as
· Statistical or mathematical analysis of real or theoretical systems
· Developments of solution, optimisation or control algorithms
· Improved approaches to planning, scheduling or operations management
· Representation and modelling of complex systems
to any mode or aspect of transport including (but not limited to) safety,
energy, robustness, routing, tolling, signals, vehicle dynamics, logistics,
reliability, environmental impact, demand responsive systems, crowd dynamics,
choice modelling, distributed intelligence or mixed-mode flows.
