The organizing committee of STRC has the pleasure to announce the call for abstracts for the 2020 Swiss Transport Research Conference.
The conference is a forum that brings together Swiss researchers adopting many different approaches to understanding transport phenomena. As such, the conference hosts topics across a wide spectrum in transport and land use: from logistics and travel behavior, traffic engineering, railway engineering, to environmental impact analysis and land use modeling. The following keynote speakers have confirmed their attendance:
| Keynote Speakers | Institution |
|---|---|
| Ola Jabali | Department of Electronics, Information & Bioengineering, Polytecnico di Milano |
| Ludovic Leclercq | IFSTTAR, University of Lyon |
| Costas Antoniou | Department of Civil, Geo and Environmental Engineering, TU Munich |
The STRC is an excellent venue to catch up on the state of transport research in Switzerland. The conference will take place on the Monte Verità, Ascona (Ticino) at the Centro Stefano Franscini of ETH Zurich.
The conference will start with an opening talk by the director of ASTRA, Jürg Röthlisberger.
To submit a paper, please prepare an abstract (no more than 200 words) and submit it by filling the form found in https://forms.gle/DtGgcfy7dkpfLES26.
