■第5回交通ネットワーク信頼性に関するシンポジウム(INSTR2012) Extended Abstractの締切(2012/1/30)のお知らせ *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** INSTR2012 The 5th International Symposium on Transportation Network Reliability Hong Kong, 18-19 December 2012. Jointly organized by Hong Kong Society for Transportation Studies (HKSTS) and Department of Civil and Structural Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University THE CONFERENCE The 5th International Symposium on Transportation Network Reliability (INSTR) will be held in Hong Kong from 18-19 December 2012, which is jointly organized by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Hong Kong Society for Transportation Studies. The INSTR series is the premier gathering for the world’s leading researchers and professionals interested in transportation network reliability, to discuss both recent research and future directions in this increasingly important field of research. For further details, see www.instr2012.org TOPICS The scope of the symposium includes all aspects of analysis and design to improve network reliability, including: - User perception of unreliability and vulnerability - Public policy and reliability of travel times - The valuation of reliability - The economics of reliability - Network reliability modeling and estimation - Transport network robustness - Reliability of public transportation - Travel behavior under uncertainty - Vehicle routing and scheduling under uncertainty - Risk evaluation and management for transportation networks - ITS to improve network reliability PAPER SUBMISSION To present a paper at this event, an extended abstract (1000 words) should be submitted electronically (word or pdf format) to the organizers at secretary@instr2012.org by 15 January 2012 for the first-round review. If the abstract is accepted, a full length manuscript will need to be submitted by 15 June 2012 for final evaluation. The evaluation will be undertaken by referees drawn from the International Scientific Committee of the INSTR and other prominent researchers from around the world. Final acceptance of a paper will thus be based on peer review of the full paper. Authors of accepted papers will be asked to produce a final camera-ready manuscript in Word format by 15 September 2012, for publication in the proceedings of the Symposium. =DEADLINE= - 30 January 2012 : Submission of extended abstracts (1000 words) - 15 March 2012 : Notification of acceptance or rejection of abstract - 15 June 2012 : Submission of full papers of peer review - 15 August 2012 : Notification of acceptance or rejection of full paper - 15 September 2012 : Submission of full, revised papers in camera-format http://www.instr2012.org/home.htm
