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 may be found on the website<http://sites.google.com/site/imperialcollegelondontransport/home>.
About the Speakers
Twelve researchers from Imperial College London, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Kyoto University and Gifu University of Japan are coming together for a full-day workshop to exchange academic and practical knowledge on different transport issues such as 'Traffic Incident Management on Urban Expressways' and 'Journey Planning'. The main speakers are: Michael Bell who is a Professor of Transport Operations at Imperial College of London and Yasuo Asakura who is a Professor of Traffic Engineering and Transport Planning at Tokyo Institute of Technology. More information about the presentation and speakers can be found in the attached booklet.
