02 Welcome Message
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 11th International Conference of Chinese Transportation Professionals (ICCTP2011), jointly organized by Chinese Overseas Transportation Association (COTA) and Southeast University, and sponsored by American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), World Bank, Nanjing Association of Science and Technology, Reason Foundation, and the Transportation Research Association in Nanjing. The conference theme, Toward Sustainable Transportation Systems, represents our vision and goal for future endeavors in transportation research, education, and practice. ICCTP2011 awaits your active participation and contribution at the beautiful and scenic International Conference Hotel of Nanjing from August 14 through 17, 2011.
Nanjing is a familiar place for ICCTP because the second ICCTP (or ICCTP2002) was hosted in Nanjing. COTA and Southeast University have witnessed the growth of ICCTP over the past nine years, from a small group meeting to one of the largest transportation conferences in China. It is exciting for us to announce that ICCTP2011 received a large number of high-quality contributions: among the nearly 1000 submissions, a total of 434 papers were accepted for publication in the proceedings. These published papers went through a very rigorous technical review and English editing process for quality assurance. We are so glad to see the improvement in paper quality this year and, in response, ICCTP2011 will issue several awards to the best papers identified by the ICCTP2011 Excellent Paper Award Committee to recognize the authors’ significant contributions to ICCTP2011 and their dedications to transportation research and practice.
03 Welcome Message
ICCTP2011 has attracted broad participation both domestically and internationally. In addition to the top-level scholars from Wish you a China, over sixty internationally recognized scholars (including Professor Kumares Sinha, Member of the US National Academy very pleasant of Engineering) from North America, Asia, and Europe will stay in participate in ICCTP 2011. Their contributions lead to an excellent program with five plenary sessions, six invited sessions, four Nanjing! sessions contributed by COTA members and nine technical sessions by domestic researchers. In addition to these podium sessions, COTA Educational Workshop, the Transportation College Deans’ Forum, and the World Bank Forum will continue their successes to ICCTP2011. Reason Foundation will also launch its first forum to report the research findings from its China Mobility Project.
ICCTP has been an excellent platform for information exchange, experience sharing, and professional networking over the past ten years. We hope ICCTP2011 would be another wonderful and rewarding experience in your memory.
On behalf of the ICCTP2011 organizing council, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all authors and conference participants for their solid contributions. We are also grateful to all paper reviewers and English editors for their outstanding efforts.
