> FYI: time is running short for bookings for the International Course on
> Transport Modelling: Updating the State of Play, running from 4th - 8th
> October.
>
> This international course is being organised by PTRC, and offers a candid
> and objective view of transport modelling, its power and its limitations.
>
> The course is based on the best selling key reference Modelling Transport
> (Second Edition) by Ortuzar and Willumsen and will be given by the two
> authors plus other selected experts. All those attending the course will
> receive a free copy of the book plus additional lecture notes.
>
> The course is aimed at transport planners and modellers and those with
> responsibility for supervising, managing and commissioning work undertaken
> by others. It has been put on annually since 1994 with increasing
> attendence each year. It is aimed at transport planners both from and
> outside the UK, with the teaching style reflecting the needs of non-native
> English speakers.
>
> PTRC is particularly keen to draw young professionals and students to this
> year's course. Its Young Professionals fee is given below, contact PTRC
> for the student charge. Additionally, there is a 10% fee reduction for
> anyone who is also attending the European Transport Conference '99, taking
> place in Cambridge at the end of September. On top of this is the usual
> course fee reduction for Association of European Transport members.

> Conference Description:
> A number of new techniques have been developed in recent years
> revolutionising transport models and applications. The range of models
> now available is considerably more flexible and powerful than a decade
> ago. Integrated transport studies and policies for the nineties require
> the development of low cost but responsive transport models selecting from
> this set of new tools those most appropriate to each circumstance.
>
> The design and implementation of a good modelling system is always a
> compromise between theoretical considerations, data limitations and
> resource constraints (money, manpower and time); the task of the modeller
> is to identify the best compromise to serve the needs of sound decision
> making in respect of a range of specific problems and alternative schemes
> and policies.
>
> The course will deal with the whole range of techniques available to build
> comprehensive and multi-modal transport models, especially for urban
> areas. It will last 4½ days to give time to cover the practical
> implications. It will place emphasis on the task of selecting the right
> technical tools in each situation and considering the resources at hand.
