Established in February 1996, the Hong Kong Society for Transportation Studies (HKSTS) aims to foster excellence in transportation research and practice, stimulate professional interchange in transportation, and provide a forum for exchanging ideas on transportation developments.
The theme of the 27th HKSTS Conference is “Transport and Equity”, which aims to call for our attention to transport equity issues and to address the mobility challenges facing marginalised groups in the society, including older people, children, low-income households and disabled persons. As innovation and technology advance in smart cities, new sets of data and analytical methods become readily available for transport research, we can harvest these progresses to reduce the mobility gap between different social strata for a more inclusive society.
Practitioners and academics are cordially invited to share their knowledge, experience and insights on developing innovative solutions for solving transport related problems and challenges in the development of sustainable and equitable cities. The technical program includes plenary sessions, paper presentations and interactive sessions. For details, please visit the conference website at: www.hksts.org/conf.htm.
