Dear Colleagues
The 48th European Transport Conference will be held from 9 - 11 September
2020 at the Politecnico di Milano, Italy. This will be the first time that
the conference has been held in Italy.
The Call for Papers can be found on the AET website:
<http://www.aetransport.org/> www.aetransport.org
The major themes of the 2020 conference will be:
* Climate change, focusing on the immediate response required from the
transport community.
* Autonomous Vehicles - the technology is being refined but ETC is the
place for the wider societal impacts to be considered.
* Large infrastructure projects: new high-speed rail, particularly
cross-border - looking at project appraisal, methodology, cost-benefit
analysis, equity assessment, value of time.
* The future of transport - competition and how it will be delivered
in the future.
* Gender balance and diversity in transport. How and why are
particular population groups discriminated against through government
policy, medical research, technology, workplace cultures and urban planning
in the delivery of transport?
* Car-free cities - throughout the world, city planners and
politicians are taking initiatives to reduce pollution by banning diesel
vehicles and restricting traffic either on a permanent basis or on specific
days.
* System Dynamics - representation of complex systems in modelling.
* How are sustainable urban plans being implemented in cities?
* How are professional qualifications for transport planners obtained
in different countries? How are young people encouraged to take up a career
in transport? What are the study paths in different countries
* The importance of communication between professionals and
decision-makers in terms of policy implementation - what common language and
understanding is needed to make progress?
* The language of mobility - how can we send a positive message
about transport?
In addition to these themes, each of the Programme Committees has developed
lists of topics of interest to them.
There will be a mix of plenary sessions, technical presentations, discussion
sessions and posters for one-to-one questions.
There is something for everyone at the Conference - please look at the Call
for Papers, register on the web-site and submit an abstract or two
The deadline for the submission of abstracts for the 48th European Transport
Conference is 4 February 2020.
Yours
