3. INTRODUCTION
The World Conference on Transport Research (WCTR) has a long and distinguished history: Rotterdam (1978), London (1980), Hamburg (1983), Vancouver (1986), Yokohama (1989), Lyon (1992), Sydney (1995) and Antwerp (1998). This series began with predecessor conferences, the International Conference
on Transportation Research at Bruges (1973), and an important research conference in Paris (1975).
The WCTR is recognized worldwide as the most important international conference of its kind. The organizers aim at assembling managers, policymakers and academics in one single forum so that they can exchange views on the practice and theory of transport research. The emphasis is on the interface
between research results and policy-making. Each of the past eight conferences attracted numerous participants from all over the world and from all sectors of the transport industry and the world of transport in general. By attending this conference, each participant will access an international
network in his or her own field and with links to connected fields. At the same time, there will be many opportunities for establishing personal contacts with colleagues and international top executive people.
The 9th WCTR Conference is to be held in Seoul on July 22-27, 2001 jointly hosted by Korean Society of Transportation and The Korea Transport Institute. The Local Organizing Committee will do its best to make this conference successful by providing conference participants with technical sessions,
technical visits, entertainment programs and sightseeing tours. Also to encourage the highest quality papers, prizes and awards will be offered for top quality papers presented. The year of 2001 will be an excellent time to host WCTR conference in Seoul, especially with the new Inchon
International Airport, scheduled to be in operation by the end of 2000. We anticipate that over 2,000 transport professionals will gather in Seoul.
We look forward to seeing you in Seoul in 2001!
