INNOVATIONS
IN TRAVEL MODELING 2008
PORTLAND,
OREGON
JUNE
22 - JUNE 24
Jointly
sponsored by the Transportation Research Board, Federal Highway
Administration, Federal Transit Administration, Oregon Department
of Transportation, Portland Metro, and Portland State University.
This
conference built on the highly successful ITM06 conference in Austin,
examining innovative and promising advances in travel modeling,
with an emphasis on moving state-of-the-art research into practice.
The
program can be found here.
