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 21st century marks an era of information and communication technologies. The concept of Smart Cities is about making the best use of these technologies to provide intelligent responses to the needs of the cities. Building smart cities also brings great opportunities for innovating and reforming our current transportation infrastructure and operations for efficient, sustainable, and resilient urban development. This HKSTS conference aims to address the challenges by bringing together worldwide experts from different disciplines to address issues in mobility and logistics faced in the development of Smart Cities.
Practitioners and academics are cordially invited to share their knowledge, experience and insights on developing innovative solutions for solving transport related problems and challenges in the development of Smart Cities. The technical program includes plenary sessions, paper presentations and interactive sessions.
