The continuing requirement for better urban transport systems and the
need for a healthier environment has added to the increasing success of
this annual meeting which attracts international delegates from many
different countries. Innovative systems, new approaches and original
ideas need to be thoroughly tested and critically evaluated before they
can be implemented in practice, which highlights the importance of
meetings such as this. Moreover, there is a growing need for integration
with telecommunications systems and IT applications in order to improve
safety, security and efficiency. The Meeting also addresses the need to
solve important pollution problems associated with urban transport in
order to achieve a healthier environment.
The variety of topics covered by the conference reflects the complex
interaction of the urban transport systems with their environment and
the need to establish integrated strategies. The aim is to arrive at
optimal socio-economic solutions while reducing the negative
environmental impacts of current transportation systems.
