Second Triennial Conference
Arlington, VA
May 27 – 29, 2020 Cancelled
Conference proceedings are available here.
The Transportation Science and Logistics Society Conference has been created to provide an opportunity for all members to gather on a triennial basis to present and to discuss the state-of-the-art in optimization applied to transportation science and logistics. The conference welcomes abstracts on all transportation science and logistics topics including but not limited to air transportation, facility logistics, freight transportation and logistics, intelligent transportation systems, and urban transportation planning and modeling. Abstracts that explore new problems or address major societal challenges such as aging, equity, and the environment are highly encouraged.
The health and welfare of TSL members and conference attendees is our top priority. With the rapid spread of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus and related closures as well as travel bans, the TSL Conference Organizing Committee and the TSL Officers cancelled the TSL Conference 2020. We will publish conference proceedings of accepted abstracts soon.
Abstract Submission
Abstract submission is closed.
Abstracts should be 3-4 pages in length. To ensure all presentations are of the highest quality, abstracts should highlight the main contributions of the research and include outcomes of computational studies, if applicable. You are encouraged to use the conference template. Submissions should be made via https://acgi.informs.org/oasis_login.php. Choose “TSL 2020” as the event.
