TRANSITDATA2019 – 5th International Workshop and Symposium

The use of passive data for public transport has increased in the recent years, presenting an excellent opportunity for academic research and also for the development of applied methods.

This workshop continues a series that began in Gifu, Japan (2014), Boston, United States (2016), Santiago, Chile (2017) and Brisbane, Australia (2018).

The focus of these meetings has been to build an international network of researchers working on these topics, and also to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss recent methodological developments and innovative applications. We hope the TRANSITDATA2019 edition in Paris will contribute to extend the network to the european community.

We invite researchers and practitioners to participate in the TRANSITDATA2019 edition : 5th International Workshop and Symposium, Research and applications on the use of massive passive data for public transport. The TRANSITDATA2019 edition will be held on 8-9-10 July 2019 in Paris, France.

The topics of the workshop and symposium will include, but are not limited to:

Better knowledge of mobility (demand and observation) through the usage of massive passive data : which new data sources are used, for what kind of understanding of the customer, which innovative method and algorithms are developped for ?
Improvement of the management and operation control through the usage of massive passive data : which remained place for better prediction and planification process ?
Vizualization : for the TRANSITDATA2019 edition, we wanted to make a specific place to the datavisualization of massive passive data for public transportation.

ORGANIZATION

The event will be organized for three days, divided into two parts :

[workshop] the first part (two first days) of the program will consist of a scientific workshop, with discussion between specialists
[symposium] the second part (third day) of the event will consist of a symposium focusing on applied work. In this symposium, we will gather a wider audience, attracting transport operators, local authorities and other transportation actors, from the european countries and neighborhood.
