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.
Hong Kong is a major transportation and logistics hub of the Asia-Pacific region. With the increasing integration of the economies of the Pearl River Delta and South-east Asia, and increasing global market competition, advanced methods in operations research, management science, economics and statistics are needed for optimal planning and operation of complex large-scale multi-modal transportation systems. Practitioners and academics are cordially invited to share their knowledge, experience and insights on the design, analysis, planning, operation, engineering, co-ordination and management of transportation systems and their impacts.
