The summer meeting of the Traffic Flow Theory and Characteristics Committee of the Transportation Research Board will take place in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, from July 26th-28th. The summer meeting will be organized by the Delft University of Technology in cooperation with AMS, the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions. The summer meeting will be organized right after the TRAIL summer course “AI and Traffic Flow Theory” (24-26^th July 2023), a course with tutorials and hackathons aimed at PhDs with a basic background in traffic flow theory.

The main theme of the summer meeting will be urban traffic operations for resilient cities. With urbanization and densification of cities being one of the important trends, traffic operations in cities are becoming increasingly important. Next to its relevance, the scientific challenges related to urban traffic are daunting, for instance due to its complexity and its multi-modal nature. We welcome the submission of new relevant practical and/or scientific questions.

Submission Guidelines

All submissions must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. A selection of abstracts related to data will be invited for submission to a special issue of Data Science for Transportation Journal.
