US-Netherlands Workshop: Frontiers in Transportation: Social and Spatial Interactions, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, September 2006

这项为期18个月的合同允许PI支持2006年9月在荷兰阿姆斯特丹举行的“美国-荷兰研讨会：交通、社会和空间互动的前沿”。讲习班预计将确定在社会和空间相互作用领域与交通和土地利用的应用方面的共同研究优先事项和协作研究建议。将社会行为决策与交通模式和需求联系起来的建模工作还处于初级阶段。研讨会将把国际视角和跨学科方法引入调整当前决策需求的任务，以反映基于社会和空间网络的影响。在交通和土地利用中如何建模行为决策的新范式的发展将导致更好地理解城市发展，并更好地洞察影响土地利用开发、交通拥堵和非汽车导向型交通方式的政策决策。它将对交通政策和规划产生广泛影响。

This eighteen-month award allows the PI, to support a "US-Netherlands Workshop: Frontiers in Transportation, Social and Spatial Interactions in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, September 2006." The workshop is expected to identify common research priorities and collaborative research proposals in the area of social and spatial interactions with applications to transportation and land use. Modeling efforts that tie social-behavioral decisions with traffic patterns and demands are in their infancy. The workshop will bring both international perspectives and interdisciplinary methods to the task of adjusting current decision-making needs to reflect impacts based on social and spatial networks.The development of a new paradigm in how behavioral decisions are modeled in transportation and land use will lead to better understanding of development of cities and greater insight into policy decisions affecting land use development, traffic congestion, and non-auto oriented modes of transport. It will have a wide impact on transportation policies and planning.
