8th International Symposium on Transport Network Reliability (INSTR)

Mar 1, 2019

KTH Royal Institute of Technology are pleased to invite you to attend and participate in the 8th International Symposium on Transport Network Reliability (INSTR), which will be held in Stockholm on 24-26 June 2020. The INSTR series is the premier gathering for the world’s leading researchers and professionals interested in transport network reliability, to discuss both recent research and future directions in this increasingly important field of research. Transport networks support the full spectrum of human activities and their supporting supply chains, and when disaster strikes provide life lines for rescue services and survivors, so their reliability is a matter of global concern. The scope of the symposium includes all aspects of analysis and design to improve network reliability.

Topics

User perception of unreliability and vulnerability
Public policy and reliability of travel times
The valuation and economics of reliability
Network reliability modeling and estimation
Transport network robustness and resilience
Reliability of public transport and supply chains
Travel behavior under uncertainty
Vehicle routing and scheduling under uncertainty
Risk evaluation and management for transport networks
Traffic management (including ITS) to improve network reliability
Evacuation and disaster relief distribution
Network interdependencies and cyber security
Reliability in the era of connected and automated vehicles
