Workshop on Planning, Design, Managemnet and Control of Transportation System; April 14-16, 1998; Arlington, VA

这个奖项是为了计划和举办一个关于“运输系统的规划、设计、管理和控制”的研讨会。在资源有限、环境敏感和需求不断增长的环境中，对运输的要求不断变化；在新技术、电信和控制以及计算机模拟方面的能力不断增强；以及运输专业劳动力的未来需求不断变化，这表明在不久的将来举办这一研讨会的重要性。研讨会将召集交通运输研究、实践和教育领域的一些现有和未来的领导者，以确定多式联运系统的规划、设计、管理和控制所需的通用科学基础不足的领域(或与应用程序没有充分相关的领域)；阐明一系列研究和教育主题，这些主题可以被国家科学基金会视为符合其推动科学和工程进步的使命的建议；确定、开发知识库，并将其与实际交通运输应用相联系；以及促进跨现代和传统学科的研究专业人员之间的合作。研讨会将集中讨论三个主要主题：5)交通系统的智能规划和设计；2)交通系统的实时管理、学习和控制；3)交通系统的跨学科教育。大约40名来自工业界、学术界和政府的代表将参加。与会者将包括各种个人，他们可以提供必要的跨学科专业知识，以确定通用科学基础以及研究和教育主题，这些主题将定义未来十年多式联运系统的规划、设计、管理和控制。研讨会将包括来自政府、工业、学术界的主旨演讲者，以及一名来自欧洲的应邀演讲者。研讨会的成果将是一份将广泛分发的报告。

This award is made to plan and conduct a workshop on `Planning, Design, Management, and Control of Transportation Systems.` Changing requirements for transportation in a climate of constrained resources, environmental sensitivity and growing demand; increasing capabilities in new technology, telecommunications and control, and computer simulation; and evolving future requirements of the transportation professional workforce indicate the importance of holding this workshop in the near future. The workshop will convene some of the current and future leaders in transportation research, practice and education to identify areas where the generic science base necessary for the planning, design, management and control of multimodal transportation systems is inadequate (or not sufficiently related to applications); articulate a set of research and education topics that NSF can consider as recommendations consistent with its mission of advancing the progress of science and engineering; identify, develop, and relate knowledge bases to practical transportation applications; and stimulate collaboration of research professionals across the modern and traditional disciplinary lines. The workshop will focus on three major topics: 5) intelligent planning and design of transportation systems; 2) real-time management, learning, and control for transportation systems; and 3) interdisciplinary education in transportation systems. Approximately 40 representatives of industry, academia and government will participate. Attendees will include a diversity of individuals who can provide the interdisciplinary expertise necessary to define the generic science base and research and education topics that will define planning, design, management and control of multimodal transportation systems in the coming decade. The workshop will include keynote speakers from government, industry, academia, and one invited from Europe. The outcome of the workshop will be a report that will be widely distributed.
