Doctoral Research Workshop at the TRB Annual Meeting

Workshop on doctoral research in transportation modeling and travel behavior analysis

Since 2015, this research group co-organizes a workshop for doctoral candidates at the Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board (TRB) in January in Washington, D.C. Doctoral candidates conducting research in transportation policy, planning, analysis methods and modeling tools are invited to present their work and discuss issues and questions they encountered.

Until 2020, the workshop was sponsored by the Section on Travel Analysis Methods (ADB00). Since the reorganisation of the section, the workshop is organized by the Section on Transportation Planning and Analysis (AEP00).
