Purpose and history

• to provide a forum for exchanging information and experiences of
  research activities in the field of transportation;
  
• to encourage joint researches and developments both of theoretical
  methods and applications;
  
• to promote cooperation among different institutions and organizations, including leaders at national and international level in the field of traffic and transportation systems.
  

• traffic control and simulation models;
  
• traffic network equilibrium models;
  
• land-use and transportation planning;
  
• public transport planning and management;
  
• applications of combinatorial optimization;
  
• intelligent transportation systems;
  
• impact evaluation on environment, energy, safety, etc.;
  
• freight transportation, logistics and intermodality;
  
• vehicle routing and scheduling.
  

• organization of meetings and conferences;
  
• editing of a Newsletter;
  
• promotion of joint research;
  
• implementation, comparison and validation of software packages;
  
• application and transfer of models and tools to real case-studies;
  
• information diffusion by websites;
  
• publication of books, conference proceedings and special issues of transportation journals.
