This grant supports the 22nd International Symposium on Transportation and Traffic Theory (ISTTT) to be held July 24-26, 2017, in Evanston, Illinois. The symposium will showcase 35 original papers drawn from a pool of over 300 submissions from around the world. A special workshop session will be held to explore additional ways of placing the symposium findings into professional practice. This award will cover fellowships to foster participation from a selected set of advanced graduate students from underrepresented groups. Since its inception, the ISTTT has been the premier gathering of transport theorists. The coming Evanston Symposium promises to build on that tradition: the papers accepted for the event represent breakthrough research from around the world. These papers have the potential to challenge current thinking about transport science, and perhaps even to transform the field. And the papers address a variety of pressing topics in transportation: they include ideas for promoting greener, more sustainable travel modes, and for transporting people and goods in emergency situations. Given the role that transportation plays in the world and in the lives of her people, the ideas unveiled in the coming symposium are expected to be of significance. An outcome of this workshop includes a report that summarizes the main intellectual achievements of the conference. The report will describe the key challenges raised, new problems identified, and main innovations proposed by the contributors of the conference.

该基金支持将于2017年7月24日至26日在伊利诺伊州埃文斯顿举行的第22届交通与交通理论国际研讨会（ISTTT）。本次研讨会将展示来自世界各地300多篇论文中的35篇原创论文。将举行一次特别研讨会，探讨将研讨会成果应用于专业实践的其他方法。该奖项将提供奖学金，以促进从代表性不足的群体中选出的一批高级研究生的参与。自成立以来，ISTTT一直是运输理论家的主要聚会。即将召开的埃文斯顿研讨会将在这一传统的基础上再接再厉：会上接受的论文代表了来自世界各地的突破性研究。这些论文有可能挑战目前对交通科学的看法，甚至可能改变这一领域。这些文件涉及交通运输领域的各种紧迫问题：包括推广更环保、更可持续的旅行模式，以及在紧急情况下运送人员和货物的想法。考虑到交通运输在世界和人民生活中所扮演的角色，在即将到来的研讨会上提出的想法预计将具有重要意义。本次研讨会的成果包括一份总结会议主要学术成果的报告。该报告将描述会议参与者提出的主要挑战、确定的新问题和提出的主要创新。
