Travel Support for Dynamic Traffic Assignment Conference (DTA 2023); Evanston, Illinois; 10-12 July 2023

这项资助提供旅费支持，使选定的研究生和初级研究人员，特别是那些来自代表性不足的群体，参加2023年7月10日至12日在伊利诺伊州埃文斯顿举行的动态交通分配会议（DTA 2023）。动态交通分配（DTA）系列研讨会旨在促进动态交通分配研究和实践的卓越表现，并提供一个论坛，就动态交通分配和相关交通科学问题交流创新思想和挑战。它有助于汇集在该领域最前沿的工作人员，交流他们的成果，讨论研究问题，并确定未来的方向，其目标是鼓励初级和高级研究人员的参与。为了实现这一目标，DTA 2023的一个目标是尽可能降低入学成本，以鼓励代表性不足的少数民族学生和初级研究人员的参与。这个奖项将有助于实现这一目标。这笔拨款将鼓励更多人参加DTA 2023。这笔资金将为大约20名研究生和初级研究人员提供旅费支持，特别是那些来自代表性不足的群体的研究人员，以发表论文或扩展摘要并参加讨论。这些旅行补助金将通过竞争程序发放，因此获得这些旅行支助将被视为一种荣誉。在过去的演讲会议上，学生们有机会与工业界和学术界的高级研究人员交流，并展示他们自己正在进行的工作，进一步增加职业机会，建设工程人才队伍。从历史上看，该会议一直是学生和初级研究人员专业发展的沃土。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This grant provides travel support to enable selected graduate students and junior researchers, especially those from under-represented groups, to attend the Dynamic Traffic Assignment Conference (DTA 2023), Evanston, Illinois, 10-12 July 2023. The Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) series of symposia aims to foster excellence in dynamic traffic assignment research and practice and provide a forum for exchanging innovative ideas and challenges on DTA and related transportation science problems. It helps bring together those working at the cutting edge of the field, exchange their results, discuss research issues, and identify future directions, with a goal of encouraging participation of both junior and senior researchers. To achieve this, a goal of the DTA 2023 is to keep the cost of attending as low as possible to encourage participation of underrepresented and minority students, and junior researchers. This award will help accomplish that goal.The grant will encourage broader attendance at DTA 2023. The funding will provide travel support to approximately 20 graduate students and junior researchers, especially those from under-represented groups to present papers or extended abstracts and participate in discussions. These travel grants will be awarded through a competitive process and thus receipt of these travel support will be considered an honor by the recipients. The presentation sessions have been well attended in the past and provide students with an opportunity to network with senior researchers in the field from both industry and academia as well as to highlight their own ongoing work, further enhancing career opportunities and building the Engineering workforce. The conference has historically been a fertile ground for students and junior researchers' professional development.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
