Abstract
As the world’s cities have become home to the vast majority of populations, governments are faced with the challenge of providing a transport infrastructure to accommodate the varied needs of their citizens. Congested roads, overcrowded public transport and traffic delays are commonplace issues that encourage innovation in transport through research. This workshop is looking to explore different approaches, assumptions and research priorities concerned in valuation of transport networks. The workshop programme can be found on the website<http://sites.google.com/site/imperialcollegelondontransport/home>.
About the Speakers
