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

该奖项的目的是规划和举办一个关于“交通系统的规划、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气候下，交通运输需求不断变化；提高新技术、电信和控制以及计算机模拟的能力；交通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次研讨会的重要性。讲习班将召集运输研究、实践和教育方面目前和未来的一些领导人，以确定规划、设计、管理和控制多式联运系统所需的一般科学基础不足（或与应用不够相关）的领域；阐明一系列研究和教育主题，NSF可以将其作为与其推动科学和工程进步的使命相一致的建议；识别、发展知识基础，并将其与实际交通应用联系起来；并促进跨现代和传统学科线的研究专业人员的合作。研讨会将集中讨论三大主题：5)交通系统的智能规划与设计；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会议。与会者将包括各种各样的个人，他们可以提供必要的跨学科专业知识，以定义通用的科学基础、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、工业界、学术界的主讲人，并邀请一位来自欧洲的主讲人。讲习班的结果将是一份广泛分发的报告。

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.
