...a common interest in promoting state of the art and state of the
practice in all areas of transport research.
The objective of the
WCTRS (World Conference on
Transport Research Society) is to provide a forum for the
interchange of ideas among transportation researchers, managers,
policy makers, and educators from all over the world, from a
perspective which is multi-modal, multi-disciplinary, and multi-sectoral.
The Society has become a primary forum for such international
exchanges in transportation; the World Conferences are the place
where leading transportation professionals from all countries
convene to learn from one another.
It is
an unique role for the WCTR to identify emerging issues and
opportunities of a policy, managerial, or technical nature which
will influence transportation research, policy, management and
education in future years. In this way, the Society and the
Conference intend to play a strong leadership role in bridging the
gaps between research and practice.
The
Society is multi-modal, multi-disciplinary, and multi-sectoral. The
members interests cover almost all aspects of transportation
research, planning, policy and management. In general, the World
Conferences do mirror these breadths of interests. WCTRS membership
currently represents 64 countries and aims to extend its influence.
The
World Conference on Transport Research (WCTR) is organized every
three years under the authority of a permanent body, the WCTR
Society. It brings together managers, policy analysts, advisers,
operators and academics, all with a common interest in promoting
state of the art and state of the practice in all areas of transport
research.
