Subject: MIT Summer Courses
Dear Stacey,
We will be teaching the following one-week courses at MIT this summer. Your
help sharing this information with interested groups would be greatly
appreciated.
Discrete Choice Analysis: Predicting Individual Behavior and Market Demand
<https://professional.mit.edu/programs/short-programs/discrete-choice-analys
is>
June 10 - 14, 2019
Discrete choice models are used in many fields such as economics,
engineering, environmental management, marketing, urban planning, and
transportation. Most applications are performed offline and often involve
stated preferences surveys. This program also covers online applications
where predictions of individual choice behavior are used as inputs for
online optimization and personalization.
The course is designed for academics and professionals interested in
learning new discrete choice techniques and who wish to acquire in-depth
knowledge of the latest developments. One full-tuition scholarship is
awarded to an outstanding doctoral student, and multiple partial (50%)
scholarships are available to faculty, postdocs, and graduate students. More
information is also available here

Transportation Networks and Smart Mobility: Methods and Solutions
<https://professional.mit.edu/programs/short-programs/transportation-network
s>
August 5 - 9, 2019
Radical changes in transportation systems have heightened interest in
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), Smart Mobility, and real-time
network management as potential solutions to mitigate congestion issues and
improve network efficiency. Transportation researchers have developed data
analytics, models and simulation tools for use in the planning, design, and
operations of such systems. However, with the advent of new technologies and
services, this program presents the latest developments that are better
leveraged to improve system performance.
This program is intended for individuals interested in theory, research and
practice, including: professionals in the mobility industry, individuals
with experience in transportation consulting, planning and related
government agencies, PhD students in transportation systems, civil
engineering, economics, planning and urban mobility, and individuals with
backgrounds in traffic engineering, systems engineering, operations
management and control systems.
One full-tuition scholarship is awarded to an outstanding doctoral student,
and multiple partial (50%) scholarships are available to faculty, postdocs,
and graduate students. More information is also available here

The 54th annual conference of the Canadian Transportation Research Forum is on May 26-29, 2019 in Vancouver, Canada. The theme of the conference is “Change, Disruption and Innovation in Canadian Transportation: Navigating the New Normal”. In light of Vancouver’s role as a gateway and important seaport, all major modes of transportation will be featured. Similar to the 2018 conference in Ottawa, the 2019 conference will be forward looking and of interest to policymakers, transportation service providers and their customers, research professionals in academia and research organizations. Among the interlocking topics we hope to feature in plenaries and paper sessions are: international trade and transportation (the Asia Pacific Gateway and Corridor); energy supply chains; transportation infrastructure investment; mobility pricing; innovative transportation technologies such as transportation network platforms, autonomous vehicles and drones; information innovations such as cloud sourcing, AI, block chain; transportation for rural and remote Canadian communities; green transportation and climate change. Paper presentations are solicited on operational, technological, managerial and economic matters, as well as policy issues for all forms of transportation. Papers are welcome from the private sector, academia and all levels of government, from all disciplines and perspectives, and from experiences outside of Canada as well as within. We look forward to your abstract submission (See Call for Papers attached or at http://ctrf.ca/ ) Additional conference details and registration information will be sent out in early 2019.

Hi -The TRB annual meetings will be held in Washington DC from January
13-17, 2019 at the Convention Center and Marriott Marquis. All activities
are on-site (there is not a remote attendance option).
ABJ30 will meet on Tuesday morning (Jan 15) from 8 am to noon. A draft
agenda is attached.
For a complete list of committee activities, please visit our website:
http://www.trburbandata.org/
For those of you traveling to DC the weekend of January 12-13, please note
the following travel advisory:
As some of you are aware, the DC Metro system has been undergoing major
renovations. Just in the last day or two, they announced that the Yellow
and Blue lines will be completely shut down on the weekend of January 12-13,
2019 between the Reagan National Airport and Pentagon stations. This means
that there will be NO Metro service to get you from Reagan National to the
Annual Meeting on the weekend that the meeting begins. Bus service will be
available from the airport to stations that are in service, but this bus
service is notoriously crowded and unreliable. Also please note that the
last time service to the airport was shut down, there was major traffic
gridlock in and around the airport. You can monitor the situation on the
WMATA website at www.wmata.com

Apologies for cross-postings - see below for a call-for-posters as part of
the TRB 2019 Annual Meeting.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear colleagues,
The Census Data for Transportation Planning Subcommittee of the Urban
Transportation Data and Information Systems Committee, ABJ30(1) invites you
to submit posters for a session focusing on the innovative visualization of
Census data. More information is below.
Call Title
Visualizing the Census: Innovations in Data Display
Sponsoring Committee
Census Data for Transportation Planning Subcommittee of the Urban
Transportation Data and Information Systems Committee, ABJ30(1)
Call Description
The Census Data for Transportation Planning Subcommittee of the Urban
Transportation Data and Information Systems Committee, ABJ30(1) invites you
to submit posters for a session focusing on the innovative visualization of
Census data. In keeping with theme of our parent committee, topics focusing
on transportation planning and urban data are requested. Posters will be
displayed at the TRB Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, January 2019. Authors
of the most innovative posters map be invited to present at the subcommittee
meeting or have their work displayed on the ABJ30 website.
Background
Visualizing demographic data used to involve simple charts and thematic
maps. Now, new platforms and advanced algorithms have pushed the limits of
data display. Dashboards and interactive maps allow large volumes of data
to be easily digested by users. New methods are being developed to
illustrate margins of error and complex statistical concepts. Infographics
and mobile applications help bring demographic information of the public.
The Subcommittee is interested in learning about new and innovative ways to
visualize data. The end product can be a tool or graphic aimed at conveying
information to other people, or a visualization that enhances the analytic
capacity of your organization. This is also an opportunity to share the
challenges and lessons learned from translating complex data into visual and
analytic products.
Evaluation Criteria
Posters must incorporate data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Possible data
sets include but are not limited to the Decennial Census, American Community
Survey, CTPP, LEHD, and the Economic Census. Non-Census data used in
conjunction with Census data is acceptable.
A broad range of abstracts relating to the topic are welcome. Preference
will be given to posters which emphasize the following:
* Applying data visualizations to solve complex problems
* Creative ways to visualize Census data
* Posters that display solutions to the challenges that come from
visualizing complex data sets
* Posters that use demographic data to improve transportation planning
* Topics that address applications towards urban areas
A session-development panel will review all abstracts to identify those that
most effectively demonstrate innovative ways to visualize Census data. The
subcommittee hopes to identify posters representing a diverse array of uses
and applications. Applicants will be notified in late October of their
selection.
Poster Session Guidelines
Those selected for this session will prepare a poster for presentation at
the 2019 Annual Meeting in January. Participants are not required to prepare
a paper. Each presenter will be provided with a table and a 4' x 8' vertical
panel for displaying posters and other materials. An electrical connection
will be available at each station. Telephone and internet connections will
not be available. TRB's guidelines for poster presenters are not yet
available, but it is expected that all guidelines once available should be
followed. Presenters are expected to register for the TRB meeting and
participate in this session. Presentation teams are welcome.
Submission Instructions
A special deadline for submittals has been established. Interested
candidates should submit an abstract explaining their project and poster
concept by 11:59 pm EDT on Thursday, September 20, 2018. The abstract should
be no more than a single one-sided page in length (approximately 500 words)
and include:
* Contact information (name, agency/organization, phone number, email
address)
* Title of your proposed poster for use in the Annual Meeting agenda
* Data sources that your poster will focus on
* Explanation of the project, research, or process sets
* Any innovative discoveries or lessons learned about visualizing
Census data that would be useful to the transportation community
* Preliminary description of the information to be conveyed in your
poster
You are welcome to include links to on-line materials that illustrate the
visualization or graphic communication concepts described in your abstract
but this will not substitute for the information requested in the abstract.
The subcommittee will not consider sales presentations for products or
services.
Abstracts should be in a PDF format and submitted to:
