Transportation system delays have become a fact of life. They have come to change the way we live, work and play in fundamental ways. They are a major determinant in where we live. Entire industries have been spawned based on them. The general public has come to accept them as a fact of life; yet, are they truly a necessary evil or can something be done about them?
This workshop will explore the issue of transportation delays from multiple perspectives and for a range of transportation modes. In recent years, there have been significant activities that have sought to use pricing and other market mechanisms to control congestion on road networks and in the air transportation system. Yet, there has been little interaction between the various groups associated with these two modes. One goal of this meeting is to bring these two communities together with the hope of developing a richer combined perspective. The workshop will cover the broad range of transportation science methodologies necessary to analyze these problems and to develop solutions for them, including operations research, policy analysis and economics, to name a few. Topics of specific interest include:
- Congestion pricing
- Airport slot auctions
- Use of advanced technologies in managing congestion
- Traffic models that seek to estimate and understand congestion
- Analysis of air transportation delays
- Analysis of administration mechanisms and policy options for controlling congestion
