CALL FOR ABSTRACTS 14THWORLD CONFERENCE ON TRANSPORT RESEARCH SHANGHAI (CHINA), 10-15 JULY 2016
The World Conference on Transport Research Society (WCTRS) announces that the 14th World Conference will be held from the 10-15 July 2016 in Shanghai (China) at Tongji University, which will host the Conference at its main campus. The aims of the conference are to offer a unique opportunity to bring together experts in all aspects of transport research, from all parts of the world and to stimulate the exchange of ideas in the broad field of transport research.
The Committees of WCTRS invest great effort in reviewing the papers submitted to the conference and organising the sessions to enable the participants to gain maximum benefit. After the abstract review, authors can choose to submit their paper either for the non-review track or the review track. The latter offers a thorough review process for each full paper in order to assess its potential for publication and short-listing for the award of a prize. As a new arrangement, for many session tracks a close cooperation with journals has already been agreed, so that the best papers are expected to be published in peer-reviewed journals after the Conference (for details please access www.wctrs-conference.com/conference-supporting-journal.asp<http://www.wctrs-conference.com/conference-supporting-journal.asp>). The organisation of the Conference is supported by Elsevier.

Topic Area A: Transport Modes - General
Topic Area B: Freight Transport and Logistics
Topic Area C: Traffic Management, Operations and Control
Topic Area D: Activity and Transport Demand
Topic Area E: Transport Economics and Finance
