Workshop: The 22nd International Symposium on Transportation and Traffic Theory (ISTTT); Evanston, Illinois; July 24-26, 2017

该补助金支持将于2017年7月24日至26日在伊利诺伊州埃文斯顿举行的第22届国际运输和交通理论研讨会（ISTT）。研讨会将展示从来自世界各地的300多份论文中选出的35份原创论文。将举行一次特别讲习班，探讨如何将专题讨论会的结论付诸专业实践。该奖项将提供研究金，以促进来自代表性不足群体的一组选定的高级研究生的参与。自成立以来，ISTT一直是运输理论家的首要聚会。即将到来的埃文斯顿研讨会承诺建立在这一传统的基础上：该活动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当前对运输科学的思考，甚至可能改变这个领域。这些论文涉及交通运输领域的各种紧迫主题：包括促进更环保、更可持续的出行方式，以及在紧急情况下运输人员和货物的想法。考虑到交通在世界和人民生活中的作用，即将举行的研讨会上提出的想法预计将具有重要意义。这次研讨会的一项成果包括一份总结会议主要学术成果的报告。该报告将描述提出的关键挑战、发现的新问题以及会议撰稿人提出的主要创新。

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.
