We are delighted to announce the 11th International Symposium on Travel Demand Management (TDM), which will be held in Accra, Ghana, September 18-20, 2023. Travel demand management (TDM) tools and techniques have evolved over the last few decades to include new policies, technologies, vehicles and fuel types. Other soft measures have also been introduced, such as raising awareness and education policies to improve the transportation system's efficiency and promote further use of more efficient and smarter modes of transportation. TDM aims to improve the transportation system's efficiency and promote further use of more efficient and smarter modes of transportation to achieve a sustainable transport system.
The objective of the 11th International Travel Demand Management Symposium (TDM 2023) will be to share new ideas on the opportunities and challenges the current global challenges present to travel demand management in the wake of Covid-19 and global environmental challenges.
TDM 2023 will be organised under the theme “Global Challenges and TDM: Opportunities for future development” and will focus on all areas of Travel Demand Management topics. The TDM 2023 symposium will provide three days of intellectual exchange of research findings with leading researchers and professionals in the field. It will be a platform for best practice sharing and networking. The event will be an opportunity to develop and drive forward synergy between academics, researchers, policymakers and industry. Additionally, the conference seeks to provide an exchange of ideas and networking between researchers from Europe, the USA and their counterparts in sub–Saharan Africa.
Participants are invited to submit an abstract for a paper, a poster or a proposed workshop on a relevant topic, including but not limited to the following.
- Public Transportation Challenges and Safety:
- Public transportation challenges
- Public transport safety and security
- Transport and public health
- Transport challenges in Africa
- Sustainable Travel Demand and Management:
- Travel demand resilience
- Transportation users' attitudes and mode choice behaviour towards travel demand management
- Travel demand management and inclusion
- Sustainable travel demand management
- Travel Demand Modelling and Forecasting:
- Travel demand modelling and forecasting
- Travel demand simulation and simulation software
- Big data for travel demand modelling
- Emerging Technologies and Mobility:

- Digital Technology and its Implications for travel demand management
- Travel demand management and smart transportation
- Informal and shared mobility: current practices
Submission Guidelines
We want to receive contributions on case studies, approaches, challenges and opportunities arising from our current mobility context considering the mobility challenges in the face of Covid-19, as well as papers on shared mobilities, concepts, Electric vehicles, Autonomous driving, understanding of users’ perception, customer satisfaction, and reflections of interaction and integration of existing and emerging transportation systems and how they affect travel demand management in “smart” cities, analytical approaches and policy.
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.
Abstracts for initial consideration are invited; authors could also submit extended abstracts using the template below.
Full papers are not required but are welcomed.
The deadline for submission of an abstract is 10th August 2023.
Notifications of accepted abstracts will be provided soon after decisions and no later than 15th August 2023.
A selection of the best contributions will be invited to submit their full-text papers to be considered for publication in a special issue in Transportation Research Part A
All submitted papers will be processed based on the review policy of Transportation Research Part A
Besides that, you can publish the full paper (not peer-reviewed) in the conference proceedings on the TDM2023 web page.
The authors are also free to publish their papers elsewhere.
