Welcome to the Transformative Transport Conference 2024!
Join us for a dynamic exploration of the latest advancements and critical discussions shaping the future of transportation. In response to the evolving landscape, our conference will be held entirely online and free of charge, ensuring accessibility to participants worldwide.
Building upon the success of our previous practitioners and academics perspective webinar, this year's conference will feature esteemed keynote speakers representing both spheres, providing valuable insights and expertise.
With three distinct tracks focusing on Sustainability, Inclusivity, and Technology, attendees will have the opportunity to delve deep into these critical areas through a series of thought-provoking paper presentations. Each track will showcase eight carefully selected papers, distributed across morning and afternoon sessions, totaling 24 papers overall.
Participants can anticipate a rewarding experience, including a Certificate of Participation, a comprehensive Book of Abstracts for all articles, and the opportunity for publication in the prestigious TRATSEDI journal. Additionally, the top 12 papers will be included in an edited book, further amplifying their impact and reach.
We invite researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and enthusiasts alike to join us as we navigate the transformative landscape of transportation, exchange ideas, and collaborate towards a sustainable, inclusive, and technologically advanced future. Mark your calendars and reserve your spot today!
The Tracks
The conference revolves around three pivotal tracks that serve as the cornerstone of transformative transport services. Prospective presenters are encouraged to align their presentations with one of these tracks.
