KTH Royal Institute of Technology is pleased to invite you to participate in the 8th international Symposium on Transport Network Reliability (INSTR), which will be held in Stockholm on 24-26 June 2020. The INSTR series is the premier gathering for the world’s leading researchers and professionals interested in transport network reliability, to discuss both recent research and future directions in this increasingly important field of research. The scope of the symposium includes all aspects of analysis and design to improve network reliability.
Submission Guidelines
We invite you to submit an extended abstract (maximum 2500 words) with an original contribution related to transport network reliability. The scope of disciplines covered by the symposium is wide, so technical, operational, economic, policy, or inter-disciplinary contributions, are welcome.
IMPORTANT DATES
15th October 2019: Extended Abstract Submission
15th January 2020: Acceptance Notification
15th March 2020: Submission of Accepted Extended Abstracts
Please download the Extended Abstract Template for writing your extended abstract. If you are using LaTeX, we would like to ask you to match this template as closely as possible. Submit your extended abstract here.
Please, notice that no two Extended Abstracts will be accepted sharing the same first author and each Extended Abstract will have to be registered individually.
List of Topics
The scope of the symposium includes all aspects of analysis and design to improve network reliability, including:
- User perception of unreliability and vulnerability
- Public policy and reliability of travel times
- The valuation and economics of reliability
- Network reliability modeling and estimation
- Transport network robustness and resilience
- Transport network risk evaluation and management
- Evacuation and disaster relief distribution
- Network interdependencies and cyber security
- Reliability of public transport and supply chains
- Travel behavior under uncertainty
- Vehicle routing and scheduling under uncertainty
- Traffic management (including ITS) to improve network reliability
- Reliability of connected and automated vehicles
- Reliability and resilience of emerging mobility systems

Invited Speakers
Marta C. Gonzalez is Associate Professor of City and Regional Planning at UC Berkeley, USA, and a Physics Research faculty in the Energy Technology Area (ETA) at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). With the support of several companies, cities and foundations, her research team develops computer models to analyze digital traces of information mediated by devices. They process this information to manage the demand in urban infrastructures in relation to energy and mobility. Her recent research uses billions of mobile phone records to understand the appearance of traffic jams and the integration of electric vehicles into the grid, smart meter data records to compare the policy of solar energy adoption and card transactions to identify habits in spending behavior. Prior to joining Berkeley, Professor Gonzalez worked as an Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at MIT, a member of the Operations Research Center and the Center for Advanced Urbanism. She is a member of the scientific council of technology companies such as Gran Data, PTV and the Pecan Street Project consortium.
Lars-Göran Mattsson is Professor Emeritus of Transport Systems Analysis at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm. He finished his M.Sc. in Engineering Physics at KTH in 1972 and received his Ph.D. in Optimisation there in 1987. After working for the Office of Regional Planning and Urban Transportation, County of Stockholm, he returned back to KTH as Associate Professor (Docent) of Regional Planning in 1991. He held positions as Acting Professor and Head of the Division of Transport and Traffic Planning, 1995-97, and Acting Professor of Transport Systems Analysis from 1998 until he was appointed Professor in 1999. His research interests comprise both theoretical and applied work related to transport and location analysis. In particular, he is interested in integrated land use and transport models, travel demand models, location models, infrastructure and regional development, vulnerability analysis, applied systems analysis, road pricing, random utility theory, discrete choice and economic theory.
Publication
Presented extended abstracts will be made available to all participants. Authors of accepted extended abstracts are also invited to submit a full paper (this is optional). Full papers will not be reviewed for the conference, but the local organising committee are arranging agreements with selected journals for special issues. Currently, the special issue on Reliability and Resilience of Emerging Mobility Systems in Transportmetrica B: Transport Dynamics has been accepted. Guest editors will invite full papers to be submitted to these journals, which will be reviewed under the normal process.
Venue
The conference will be held in Stockholm at the conference venue 7A Odenplan.
