Mathematics of Planet Earth

Designing and operating efficient transportation networks is one of the most urgent practical challenges facing societies in the twenty-first century. The “Mathematics of Transportation Networks” workshop will bring together researchers from multiple academic disciplines including mathematics, engineering, and computer science, as well as stakeholders from government and industry, to discuss recent developments in the application of mathematics to addressing such challenges. Topics covered will include traffic flow theory and simulation, optimization and control, data mining, intelligent transport systems, logistics, and infrastructure planning.
