Hi all,
Hope you are doing well. I'm a PhD Candidate in Environmental Health at
Boston University and looking for some insight on which Transportation
Research journal (parts A-D) is most interested in transport and health
research as I don't see health in any of their descriptions. Separately, I
do find it interesting that health is missing. I'm preparing one of my
dissertation aims for publication and it is focused on the health benefits
of increasing walking and cycling activity in the Greater Boston area using
a k-means clustering approach on top of travel survey data and health
impact assessment.
Thanks for your thoughts! Alternatively the Journal of Transport & Health
seems quite appropriate for this research, but I thought I'd inquire about
TRB publications here as well.
Best,
Matt

The webinar is scheduled for Thursday, November 9, 2023, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time.
Registration is available at the following link: https://www.nationalacademies.org/event/815_11-2023_trb-webinar-lets-catch-…
Webinar agenda and presenters:
* Structural and programmatic effects of bus rapid transit (BRT) on physical activity in Seattle – Brian E. Saelens, Seattle Children’s Hospital and University of Washington

Call for Abstracts
International Conference
ITS 2023
"Intelligent Systems and Consciousness Society"
2-3 November 2023
Cultural Center of the University of Patras, Greece
The International Conference ITS 2023: "Intelligent Systems and Consciousness Society" is organized by the University of Patras, Department of Civil Engineering, in cooperation with ITS Hellas, with the support of the Hellenic Institute of Transportation Engineers under the auspices of the Hellenic Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, during 2-3 November 2023, in the Conference and Cultural Center of the University of Patras, Greece.
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) represent the state of the art in transportation infrastructure and networks and ensure comfortable, fast, and safe movement of people and goods in smart cities and communities. Connected (C-ITS) and Conscious Connected Intelligent Transportation Systems (CC-ΙTS) are key elements in the roadmap towards vehicle autonomy and the empowerment of the mobile citizen in decision-making. This is founded on reshaped holistic understanding and the optimal interpretation of values and situations involving people, objects, and vehicles for drastically improved mobility and safety.
New submission deadline is June 15, 2023. In addition to the oral presentations, the University of Patras is now accepting abstracts for conference workshops, sessions, and posters. Regarding the abstract submission abstract, you can find more in the call for abstracts<http://conference2023.upatras.gr/index.php/conference/announcements/52-call…> and in the conference website<http://conference2023.upatras.gr/>.

***************************
Researchers at Polytechnique Montréal, INRS, and Université Laval are conducting research on estimating traffic danger with respect to children's daily travel (as a vulnerable group). The objective is to develop a tool to estimate traffic danger for cities so that they might better know where to focus interventions. The focus groups will be held in April through June (2023) and the exact time will be determined in consultation with participants. As we are using a multi-criteria decision aiding process, there will be roughly three discussions for participants.
We are looking for:
1. Experts in traffic safety (of diverse disciplines). For experts, the first focus group will last between two and three hours. Please complete this short form: https://forms.gle/2hJ9tj2BLijUJuyV9
2. Parents of children in elementary school (aged 7 through 13). Please complete this short form: https://forms.gle/snWXMJ9V6Hhh34rR6
3. Children aged 8 to 12. Please complete this short form: https://forms.gle/snWXMJ9V6Hhh34rR6
This project has been approved by the Research ethics committee of Polytechnique Montréal CER-2223-63-D.

Les groupes de discussion se tiendront d'avril à juin (2023) et la date exacte sera déterminée en consultation avec les participants. Comme nous utilisons un processus d'aide à la décision multicritère, il y aura environ trois discussions pour les participants.
Nous recherchons
1) Des experts en sécurité routière (de diverses disciplines). Pour les experts, le premier groupe de discussion durera entre deux et trois heures. Veuillez remplir ce court formulaire : https://forms.gle/2hJ9tj2BLijUJuyV9
2) Des parents d'enfants en école primaire (âgés de 7 à 13 ans). Veuillez remplir ce court formulaire : https://forms.gle/snWXMJ9V6Hhh34rR6
