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
