Dear Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that we announce the Twelfth Triennial Symposium on
Transportation Analysis (TRISTAN XII), which will be hosted by the University of Tokyo,
the University of the Ryukyus, and Tohoku University from June 22 to 27, 2025,
at a venue with a stunning view of the ocean (in-person only). This esteemed
symposium serves as a premier platform to present and discuss recent research
and applications in transportation analysis and transportation science.

The TRISTAN symposium  https://tristanconference.org/ has a long-standing reputation
for its high scientific quality, promoting extensive interaction both during and
beyond technical sessions, fostering a strong sense of community, and providing
enriching and enjoyable social tours.
The choice of a venue overlooking the beautiful sea further underscores our
commitment to creating an inspiring and memorable experience for all participants.
We anticipate the gathering of many academics, researchers, and practitioners
from around the globe, who will engage in discussions on mathematical models,
methodologies, and computational results. The symposium aims to facilitate the exchange
of ideas on advanced applications and technologies in transportation, with a special
emphasis on humanitarian transportation operations research and autonomous driving.
This event promises to be an unparalleled opportunity for the transportation research
