U.S. - Sweden Collaborative Research: Sustainable Transportation and Land Use in the Information Society

该奖项由国际项目部和行为与认知科学部的地理与区域科学项目支持，允许马萨诸塞大学的Anna Nagurney与瑞典斯德哥尔摩皇家理工学院的Lars- goran Mattson、Lars Lundqvist和Fari der Ramjerdi合作。该项目将综合这两个机构开发的可持续运输模式，并通过纳入信息技术对运输和土地使用的影响来扩展综合模式。预计该项目将扩大有关的理论框架，并协助评价满足环境质量标准的备选政策。这项合作是由美国国家科学基金会和欧洲科学基金会联合发起的社会变革和可持续交通倡议的产物。

This award, supported by the Division of International Programs and the Geography and Regional Science Program in the Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences, allows Anna Nagurney of the University of Massachusetts to collaborate with Lars-Goran Mattson, Lars Lundqvist, and Fari der Ramjerdi of the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. The project will synthesize models of sustainable transportation developed at the two institutions and to extend the integrated models by incorporating the impacts of information technologies on transportation and land use. The project is expected to expand relevant theoretical frameworks and assist in the evaluation of alternative policies for meeting environmental quality standards. The collaboration is an outgrowth of the Social Change and Sustainable Transport initiative that has been jointly sponsored by NSF and the European Science Foundation.
