The organizing committee of STRC has the pleasure to announce the call for abstracts for the 2021 Swiss Transport Research Conference.
Due to COVID situation, the conference has been postponed. We expect it will take place in Monte Verità (Ascona) from September 12h to September 14th.
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 |
|---|---|
| Ludovic Leclercq | Université Gustave Eiffel |
| Constantinos 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.
To submit a paper, please prepare an abstract (no more than 200 words) and submit it by sending us an email at strc2021@heig-vd.ch.
To encourage participation, a full paper will be assigned to every researcher who will be responsible for giving feedback to the authors during the presentation.
