THE INSTITUTE OF MATHEMATICS AND ITS APPLICATIONS
5th IMA Conference on Mathematics in Transport
Hosted by the Centre for Transport Studies, University College London Monday 12th April - Wednesday 14th April 2010
CALL FOR PAPERS - DEADLINE 1st SEPTEMBER 2009
The conference will bring together academics and practitioners with an interest in the application of mathematics within all aspects of transport planning, management and analysis. Papers are sought that describe novel applications of mathematical or statistical methods applied to any mode or form of transport.
Topics to be included within the conference will apply branches of mathematics such as
* Statistical or mathematical analysis of real or theoretical systems
* Developments of solution, optimisation or control algorithms
* Improved approaches to planning, scheduling or operations management
* Representation and modelling of complex systems
to any mode or aspect of transport including (but not limited to) safety, energy, robustness, routing, tolling, signals, vehicle dynamics, logistics, reliability, environmental impact, demand responsive systems, crowd dynamics, choice modelling, distributed intelligence or mixed-mode flows.
*** DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS: 1ST SEPTEMBER 2009 ***
Organising Committee
Benjamin Heydecker (UCL - chair), Mike Bell (Imperial College London), Malachy Carey (Queen's University Belfast), Mike Maher (University of Leeds), Mike Smith (University of York), Kathryn Stewart (Edinburgh Napier University), Ben Waterson (University of Southampton), R Eddie Wilson (University of Bristol), David Youdan (IMA)
Instructions for Contributors
* Papers will be accepted for the conference based on a 200-300 word abstract which should emphasise both the innovative mathematical nature and the transport applications of the proposed paper.
* Abstracts should be submitted by 1st September 2009 either online at http://online.ima.org.uk/ or by e-mail to Amy Marsh, Conference Officer, IMA ([log in to unmask]).
* Authors will be advised of acceptance by 30th September 2009, with successful authors being required to submit their full paper for inclusion in the conference proceedings by 28th February 2010.
