hEART 2020 : 9th Symposium of the European Association for Research in Transportation

The symposium is an annual event organized by the European Association for Research in Transportation (hEART). Previous locations of hEART symposia include Lausanne (EPFL, 2012), Stockholm (KTH, 2013), Leeds (University of Leeds, 2014), Copenhagen (DTU, 2015), Delft (TU Delft, 2016), Haifa (Technion, 2017), Athens (NTUA, 2018), and Budapest (BME, 2019). After these successful meetings, the ninth conference of European Association for Research in Transportation (hEART) will arrive to Lyon in 2021.

LAET is organizing the conference at ENTPE, Vaulx-en-Velin-Lyon (https://heart2020.sciencesconf.org). It will cover relevant areas of transportation research with specific focus on methods, models and planning of transport systems.

The aim of the conference is to connect researchers in transport modelling, transport economics, transport engineering and transport policy with advanced practice and state of the art. Bringing together leading experts and promising young researchers, the symposium offers an opportunity for scientific discussion and interaction in relatively small groups. The conference will be accompanied by social events and a summer school intended for PhD students the day before the symposium on April 6th 2021.
