ABOUT THE ISEHP 2016

This joint international symposium, organized by TRB committees AHB40 / AHB20 and FGSV (German Road and Transportation Research Association), combines the 7th International Symposium on Highway Capacity and Quality of Service, succeeding previous symposia in Karlsruhe (1991), Sydney (1994), Copenhagen (1998), Maui (2000), Yokohama (2006), and Stockholm (2011), and the 3rd International Symposium on Freeway and Tollway Operations, succeeding previous symposia in Athens (2006) and Honolulu (2009). The conference will provide a common platform for researchers, decision makers, managers, traffic engineers, and practitioners to share their international experience in analyses of highway capacity, quality of service, and of freeway and tollway operations. This international conference includes TRB committee, subcommittee, and group meetings as well as pre- and post-symposium workshops.
