The symposium is an annual event organized by the European Association for Research in Transportation (hEART). Previous locations of hEART symposia include Lausanne (EPFL, 2012), Stockholm (KTH, 2013), Leeds (University of Leeds, 2014), Copenhagen (DTU, 2015), Delft (TU Delft, 2016), Haifa (Technion, 2017), Athens (NTUA, 2018), and Budapest (BME, 2019). After these successful meetings, the ninth conference of European Association for Research in Transportation (hEART) will arrive to Lyon in 2020.
LAET is organizing the conference at ENTPE, Vaulx-en-Velin-Lyon (https://heart2020.sciencesconf.org/). It will cover relevant areas of transportation research with specific focus on methods, models and planning of transport systems.
The aim of the conference is to connect researchers in transport modelling, transport economics, transport engineering and transport policy with advanced practice and state of the art. Bringing together leading experts and promising young researchers, the symposium offers an opportunity for scientific discussion and interaction in relatively small groups. The conference will be accompanied by social events and a summer school intended for PhD students the day before the symposium on August 31st, 2020.
Submission Guidelines
Short papers of 2000-3000 words are invited for submission by 28 February 2020. Submissions will be reviewed by members of the scientific committee. The short papers should clearly state the research goals, elaborate methods and discuss the results in order to allow the scientific committee to assess their quality. On-going researches are not welcome as we are expecting clear indication of the conclusions from the research. Only original contributions are considered for presentation at the conference. Submissions should be made on easychair conference HEART2020: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=heart2020.
A maximum of one presentation is allowed per person attending the conference. This means that an author can be co-author in multiple papers, but is not allowed to present more than one paper.
