International Conference on Transport & Health
Changing Perspectives
MINETA Transportation Institute at San Jose State University
San Jose, California - USA
13-15 June 2016
(Camp ICTH: 12 June 2016)
NOT JUST FOR RESEARCHERS. PRACTITIONERS, POLICY-MAKERS AND STUDENTS ARE STRONGLY
ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT AN ABSTRACT. ICTH IS FOCUSED ON BRINGING TOGETHER SCIENTIFIC
KNOWLEDGE AND REAL-WORLD APPLICATION. THIS IS ONLY POSSIBLE, IF YOU'RE WILLING TO TAKE
A RISK AND SUBMIT YOUR INNOVATIVE IDEAS. WHAT THE HECK, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE AND
EVERYTHING TO GAIN!
Each abstract for presentation at the International Conference on Transport & Health
(ICTH) will go through a formal peer-review and scoring process. Final abstract scores are
calculated as the average of three (3) individual peer-reviewer assessments.
Scientific/research abstracts and practitioner/policy/case study abstracts will be
assessed separately. Due to the interactive nature of the conference with regard to team
assignments and scheduling, each author indicating a preference for an oral presentation
will be limited to one (1) standard oral and one (1) pecha kucha presentation. There is no
limit on the number of poster presentations. Only the highest scoring abstracts will be
invited to present at the conference.
Abstract Submission Guidelines
Authors will be asked to select and submit an abstract in their preferred presentation
format:•Standard Oral (20 Minutes)
•Pecha Kucha - An oral presentation of 20 slides for 20 seconds each (6 minutes and 40
seconds in total). This is a fast-paced and FUN alternative! Visit
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PechaKucha for details.
•Poster - Presentation and judging will be during the lunch break on the day assigned to
each author
The author's presentation preference will be taken into consideration along with
recommendations received by each of the three peer-reviewers. Final decisions with regard
to presentation format are at the discretion of the ICTH Programme Committee.
