                                An International Transport
                Symposium on Travel Demand Management

The Transport Operations Research Group (TORG) is organising an
International Transport Symposium on Travel Demand Management, to
take place from 8-10 July, 1998 at the University of Newcastle upon
Tyne.

Papers are invited on the following topics:

· What can travel demand management measures and strategies do to
reduce the prospective growth in car traffic?
· What progress has been made within European research and
development programmes in developing successful TDM strategies?
· How, where and when can pricing, access control and information
measures be implemented, monitored and accepted?
· Can transport telematics reduce road traffic? And what kind of
shifts in trip patterns can they produce?
· How can public transport be deployed efficiently to contribute to
the substitution of car trips?
· What plans do the local authorities have to reduce road
traffic in their areas?
· How successfully can we model the consequences and impacts of
TDM measures?
· What are the short and long-term dynamics of adaptation
to new policies?

This three day symposium is designed for academics, local
authorities, Department of Environment, Transport and the Regions,
transport consultants and interest groups in this field to share
their experiences and ideas thereby furthering the objective of
disseminating "best practice" in managing the demand for travel.

Authors wishing to contribute to the Symposium should send five
copies of the paper (six pages in length) to the Symposium
Secretariat by Friday, 6 March, 1998.

The papers will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee of the
Symposium and authors will be notified of acceptance by Friday 8 May,
1998.

The Keynote Speaker will be Professor P.B.Goodwin of University
College London, UK.
