and

THE CONFERENCE

Established in February 1996, the Hong Kong Society for Transportation Studies (HKSTS) aims to foster excellence in transportation research and practice, stimulate professional interchange in transportation, and provide a forum for exchanging ideas on transportation developments.

The theme of the 22nd HKSTS conference is "Transport and Society", which aims to emphasize the importance of transport in the society. This is particularly true for Hong Kong as a global city housing 7.3 million people and 60 million visitors per year. Hong Kong is also home to one of the busiest container ports and airports in the world. To cater for the growing demand from domestic and international transportation needs, Hong Kong strives to provide not only reliable and efficient but also environmentally sond and sustainable transport solutions that meet the challenges in both local and global contexts.

Practitioners and academics are cordially invited to share their knowledge, experience and insights on the design, analytics, investigations, analysis, planning, operation, engineering, co-ordination and management of smart transport systems and their impacts. The technical program may include plenary sessions, paper presentations and interactive sessions.

SUBMISSION OF PAPER

Authors are invited to submit abstracts of 300 to 500 words by the deadline of 15th April, 2017.
