8th International Symposium on Transport Network Reliability (INSTR)
Postponed 1-year due to COVID-19.
You are warmly invited to submit extended abstracts (maximum 2500 words) to the 8th International Symposium on Transport Network Reliability (INSTR), which will be hosted by KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden 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. The scope of the symposium includes all aspects of analysis and design to improve network reliability, including:
User perception of unreliability and vulnerabilityPublic policy and reliability of travel timesThe valuation and economics of reliabilityNetwork reliability modeling and estimationTransport network robustness and resilienceTransport network risk evaluation and managementEvacuation and disaster relief distributionNetwork interdependencies and cyber securityReliability of public transport and supply chainsTravel behavior under uncertaintyVehicle routing and scheduling under uncertaintyTraffic management (including ITS) to improve network reliabilityReliability of connected and automated vehiclesReliability and resilience of emerging mobility systems
