51 WELCOME LETTERS
President of the WCTRFirst of all, I would like to extend my warm welcome to all conference
participants, distinguished speakers and guest speakers at this 16th
WCTRS World Conference.
This great WCTRS world conference is being hosted by the CIRRELT
in this great conference center, Palais des congrès Montreal with theConference Directorate (CDT) headed by Professors Catherine
Morency (Chair) and Martin Trepanier (Vice Chair). This is the firsttime we hold the WCTRS world conference in North America since
the University of California at Berkeley hosted our World Conferencein 2007! I also note that the University of British Columbia hosted
the 1986 world conference in Vancouver (hosted by Professor Trevor
Heaver, Sauder School of Business, UBC).
Since the 2013 Rio de Janeiro World Conference, the WCTR Society
has expanded greatly our research capability and outreach ontransport, infrastructure and supply chain fields by expanding Special
Interest Groups (SIGs) to 30+, which are now meaningfully grouped
into nine Topic Area management (TAM) under the leadership of Professors Lori Tavasszy (SCC Chair) and
Hideki Nakamura (SCC Vice Chair). As the Society president, I express my sincere appreciation to the SIG
chairs/co-chair and TAM leaders for their dedication and effort in order to make this conference successful
as we see today. In addition, the two journals we publish jointly with Elsevier (Transport Policy under theleadership of Editor in Chief, Prof. Haijun Huang and Case Studies in Transport Policy under the leadershipof Prof. Rosario Macario – who just stepped down and Prof. Xiaowen Fu) have been making excellent
progress increasing paper submissions, improving number of downloads, citations and impact factors very
rapidly. Prof. Ozay Ozaydin who organizes special issues of journals for this world Conference says wehave 20 special issues in various stages of development.
On the international front, our society (under the leadership of my predecessor, Professor Yoshitsugu
Hayashi) has held the 2016 world conference in Shanghai and the 2019 world conference in Mumbai inorder to expand into the rapidly growing countries in Asia. Since I took over the WCTRS presidency in 2019,
I have made significant efforts to expand collaboration with many international organizations. Our WCTRSSteering Committee (STC) invites regularly over a dozen high-profile international organizations to speakat our bi-annual STC meetings: TRB, ITF, World Bank, Club of Rome, Asian Development Bank Institute,
East Asia Society for Transportation Studies (EASTS), AET (Association of European Transport), PanAmerican Society of Transportation Research, ATRS (World Air Transport Research Society), CODATU(Cooperation for Urban Mobility in Developing World), SLOCAT (Sustainable Low Carbon Transport),
UNESCAP (UN Economic and Social Commission Asia Pacific).
As a result, the WCTR Society has memberships from 100+ countries on six continents and our World
Conference registered participants range around 1000-1600. In addition to holding a largely triennial

6world conference, our Scientific Committee organized a major virtual conference in summer 2022 which
attracted more than 1800 participants.
From January 2020, the WCTR Society has Established three Presidential Task Forces, namely, Covid-19
Research and Policy Task Force, WCTRS Charter Educiation-License Task Force (paired with Beijing Jiaotong
Univ), and Global Subway Efficiency Benchmarking Task Force. Covid TF has accomplished a lot including
formulating and submitting the WCTRS Covid Policy recommendations to the world political leaders andinternational organizations in May 2020 in addition to publishing high-profile books and numerous
journals and magazines.
After two-year long data collection and analysis, the Subway Efficiency Benchmarking TF will be tabling its
inaugural global Subway Efficiency Benchmarking report and present efficiency excellence awards to thewinning cities on 19th July (10:50-12:30) in this conference.
WCTR-Y (Young) is the WCTRS future! Under Prof. Laetitia Dablanc’s leadership, even during the pandemic,
its activities continued including holding two virtual conferences in 2022. Just yesterday, they held WCTRY conference which included an successful career development session for graduate students and young
academics. A Special Session is scheduled on July 18 where four PhD grantees will present their grant
research findings.
Finally, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to all of the WCTRS committee members and leaders,
and the Montreal Conference Directorate leaders and team members for their effort, dedication and hard
work even at this very moment in order to make the WCTRS World Conference a success.
Enjoy your conference!
Prof. Tae Hoon Oum
President, the World Conference on Transport Research Society, and Professor Emeritus, Sauder School of Business,

WCTRS Scientific Committee
Dear Delegate,
on behalf of the Scientific Committee, we are delighted to welcome you to the 16th WCTR!
The effect of the Covid-19 pandemic has clearly been felt by all. The Montreal conference had to bedelayed by a full year to allow researchers to get together. On a positive note, we have done our utmost
to turn the gap year to the society’s advantage with an online event and many other activities. The 2022
WCTR online conference had 1800 attendees from more than 100 countries. It provided us a clearer
picture of our constituency and boosted our hopes for the future. We are deeply grateful to everyone who
has helped to make this meeting such a success. Other notable results included the book on Covid-19
related transport research and the WCTRS Taskforce on Global Subway Efficiency Benchmarking. The
society’s journals Transport Policy and Case Studies on Transport Policy have strengthened their positions,with impact factors of 6,8 and 2,5 respectively. All in all, the society is in excellent scientific shape.
In 2023, we look forward to a conference well up to the WCTR standards. Despite all the hindrances tointernational travel, we expect a strong representation from previous host countries China and India.
Continuing the momentum of earlier conferences, WCTRS offers excellent publication opportunities. We
have agreements in place with over 20 major transportation journals for special issues around the best
WCTR papers. In addition, we offer the opportunity for authors to have their papers published in Elsevier´sTransportation Research Procedia. Our thanks go out to the paper reviewers, session track organizers,
topic area managers and other members of the WCTRS Scientific Committee for their tremendous efforts
to handle the many papers for review, selection and programming. We are indebted to the CIRRELT teamfor supporting the scientific review process, and all the local preparations including an excellent venue andsupporting activities. Without their contributions, holding this conference would not be possible. Together
with all attendees, we look forward to many opportunities for quality scientific exchange.
We wish you a great Conference!

Dear WCTR2023 delegates,
it is with great pleasure that we are welcoming you inMontreal for the 16th World Conference on Transport
Research (WCTR 2023). The world conference is themost important event from the World Conference on
Transport Research Society (WCTRS).
Typically occurring every three years, the WCTR
attracts top researchers from around the world and isa unique opportunity to share research questions andoutcomes across a wide diversity of transport-related
topics. Due to the COVID pandemics, four years havepassed since the 15th WCTR brightly hosted by the
Indian Institute of Technology in Bombay (India) in
May 2019. Since then, our world was significantly
affected by a more than 1000 days pandemics thataltered the way we all think about transportation andProf. Catherine Morency, 16th WCTR Local
anticipate its evolution. Faced with a high level ofPresident & Prof. Martin Trépanier, Chair of theuncertainty, the WCTRS and Montreal local committee
Local Organising Committee
decided, in 2022, to postpone the Montreal
conference and propose an innovative WCTRS virtual
event in the summer of 2022. More than 1850 people participated in this virtual event where sessions
were organised by WCTRS’ special interest groups (SIG).
We are thrilled to host the 16th WCTR in the beautiful, highly efficient, centrally located Palais des Congrèsof Montreal. On Monday July 17th, participants will also have the opportunity to enjoy the Young
Conference on the topic of “Imagining the Future: Sustainable and Resilient Transportation”. In addition
to welcome notes from the WCTRS president and scientific Chair, the opening ceremony will welcome
statements from influential organisations such as Transport Canada, the Montreal Metropolitan Transport
Authority who is providing free transit passes to all delegates for 8 days, the City of Montreal, the Montreal
Transit Authority, the Quebec Research funds and CIRRELT. Over the four days of the conference,
participants will enjoy keynotes from eight distinguished speakers on artificial intelligence, decarbonizing
transport system, disruption in travel behaviours, emerging physical internet, causality in modeling, traffic
network reliability and evolution of aviation networks. Some 285 sessions are planned during theconference, including presentations, posters, special sessions, panels and meetings.
From a transportation standpoint, Montreal is a dynamic and innovative city offering a diversity oftransportation-related options and initiatives. To face the worldwide challenge of climate change, the city,
along with plenty cities across the Quebec’s province, has adopted aggressive carbon neutrality targets
and is moving towards the adoption of a 2050 Land Use and Mobility Plan to lead the way to the green
transition. Quebec is also in a strategic position, with is hydroelectricity, to contribute to reducing thecarbon footprint of transportation systems. Multiple technical visits have been planned to give some10

delegates the opportunity to learn more about some of the interesting things happening right now suchas the construction of the REM, an automated light rail system with 26 universally accessible stations, theBixi system, a large-scale third generation bikesharing system, the carsharing service by Communauto the first company to propose a carsharing service in North America in 1994 or the Montreal Port for
instance.
We wish you a fruitful and though-provoking conference as well as an exciting visit of Montreal.

proposed under a Topic Area. 2 cooperation contract after the 2016 conference. With the great effort of2 sides, Tongji University and WCTRs established “Tongji-WCTRs World Transport Research Center” in
2019, which is the first research center of WCTRs. It is necessary to continually enhance the cooperation
the network especially in the post-pandemic period. Recently, with the quick development of technology,
China has met new challenge and chance in transport sector. The wisdom and exchange between 2 sides
become more important and necessary. The objectives of the session are to (1) highlight the concurrent
critical viewpoints for maintaining mobility from energy competing with other energy consumers such asdata center, climate change, and peoples’ quality of life, (2) continuously promote these issues by thecooperation with WCTRs,(3) introduce the research and development of Tongji university in recent
years;(4) looking for more chances for cooperation chance to joint-degree, PhD enrollment, postdoctor project.(5) Visiting scholar program;(6)other cooperation chances.

CHAIR: Hideki Nakamura (Nagoya university, Japan)
LOCATION: 520E
The main objective of the session is to share the outputs of a strategic project that is being conducted by
the International Association of Traffic and Safety Sciences (IATSS) entitled “Global Research Alliance on
Traffic and Safety Project“ in nine countries including Japan, China, UK, Germany, Italy, Qatar, UAE, Egypt,
and Canada. Through this project, IATSS aims to provide an international study on Road Traffic Safety
Culture in different countries with diverse cultural and social backgrounds. This project is part of IATSS
efforts to study traffic safety culture globally, including countries with very heterogeneous driver
population aiming to help the international community in improving road safety status through theprevention of road crashes. Traffic safety culture is seen as a contextual construct to define high and low
risk groups of drivers, based on cultural perceptions that shape both general and personal attitudes andbeliefs about traffic safety and specific driving behavior. In this session, presentations will be delivered toshowcase the results of the project towards improving the understanding of the correlation between thecharacteristic of driving population, including cultural backgrounds, and the likelihood of risky driving
behaviour.

CHAIR: Yurie Toyama (Yokohama National University, Japan)
LOCATION: 515A
Many cities have recently adopted or are trying to implement Mobility as a Service (MaaS), which
combines different modes of transportation or related assets into a single service. As several discussions
have highlighted, the key to move MaaS forward is “integration”. However, a crucial question has yet to
be clear: how can MaaS be integrated into and contribute to urban policies? From urban planner's
perspective, it is essential to position MaaS to contribute to urban societal goals. This session explores how
the integration aspect of MaaS can promote urban policies and, as a result, societal goals. The term"policy" encompasses various viewpoints, including the transport system, urban planning, carbon-free,and social inclusion.

CHAIR: Martin Trépanier (École Polytechnique, Canada)
LOCATION: 512CWith the increasing complexity of logistics in City, it becomes more and more difficult to coordinate theefforts of all players to have a more sustainable and efficient way to operate. Through the World, we now
see the creation of industrial clusters that are aimed to regroup these players, namely: port authorities,
airport, railway companies, logistic providers, port terminal operators, ground carriers, shippers,
government officials, city officials, university researchers, etc. In this session, the discussion aims to informthe audience about the existence of industrial clusters, how they are created and managed, what is theirrole and which benefits they bring to the communities.

LOCATION: 524B
The point of view is taken of the enhancement of the vertical integration along the supply chains and of
the horizontal integration among the port stakeholders. Key is the role of emerging ICT inside the Port
Community Systems (PCS) for the solution of shared decisions among the port stakeholders. The levels ofmachine digitalisation and the evolution process from Product Manufacturer to System Integrator areimportant. The elements of virtual integration of the “vertical” chains for real-time visibility-tracking antdthe possibility to relate with “horizontal” chains will be essential. The necessity should be stressed to put
at the center of analysis the human behaviour and the importance of having standards, in order to consider
the technology as an instrument and not an end.

Our intention is to build on the successful online WCTRS event held in July 2022 with a focus on further
developing the urban freight transport research field. Urban freight transport research has grown
dramatically in recent years (from a small base). There are many more conferences and journal papers andmore researchers are now involved in this field. The session will identify the actions needed to support
this growth and to extend it further. Actions could include both scaling up the research activities andidentifying ways to involve researchers from countries and regions not currently widely represented inurban freight research. In addition, the transfer of research findings into practice will be explored.

Transportation Systems 
CHAIR: Koji Suzuki (Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan)
LOCATION: 520E
Various Micro-E-Mobilities systems have been developed, such as electric kickboards and ultra-compact
mobility systems for sitting and riding. They are expected to become popular as next-generation mobility
systems to realize a safe and comfortable transportation society. However, there are many issues andchallenges to be considered, such as the acceptability of new mobility, safety issues on sidewalks androadways that may arise due to coexistence with other existing travel modes, legal arrangements, andtraffic space.In this special session, we would like to report about above-mentioned topics from the aspectof user psychology, behavior and policy in some countries and discuss about challenges and future
expectations for Micro-E-Mobilities.This special session is jointly organized between IATSS, SIG G2, and
SIG C4. This special session is built upon a previous workshop that was organized at TU Wien, Austria.

CHAIR: Ashish Verma (IISc, India)
LOCATION: 515B
Many of the fast growing Developing Economies, like BRICS countries continue to experience exponential
growth in car ownership, which continues to raise demands from aspiring society for more roadinfrastructure capacity to accommodate these ever increasing number of cars. However, it is creating unsustainable urban transportation system in these countries. This panel discussion will focus on what theaspiring economies need to do differently also leaning from the experiences and mistakes of richeconomies.

CHAIR: Steven Farber (University of Toronto Scarborough, Canada)
LOCATION: 512D
Many careers in transportation research are motivated by a desire to improve the safety, sustainability,
and wellbeing of travelers and societies. Many of our journals require authors to detail policy implications
so our work remains relevant and influential among practitioners. But to what extent does researchcontribute to change in policy, politics, and culture? We invite transportation researchers at WCTR to join
us in reflecting on how our work impacts the world, and to share strategies and lessons learned on how tomake meaningful change through our research and knowledge mobilization practices. This special session
will include a panel, followed by open discussion and a reflective activity. Attendees will leave theworkshop with a deeper understanding of theories of change, along with links to resources on developinga theory for change for a research project.

CHAIR: Jaehak Oh (President, KOTI / President, EASTS, South Korea)
LOCATION: 519A

Public-Private Partnership (PPP) has been widely considered an important instrument for financing
transport infrastructures. Financing transport infrastructures can be effectively provided through PPP indeveloped and developing countries. However, PPPs face macroeconomic uncertainties resulting from low
growth, high-interest rates, and high inflation. PPPs require risk management to control the uncertainties
and to address the likely negative effects of PPP projects, to provide sustainable public transportation
services for the people.This special session is motivated to share practical lessons and experiences of PPP
in various countries, for risk management resulting from the economic uncertainties. Throughpresentations and discussion, innovative policies and practical lessons are to be drawn. Korea Transport
Institute (KOTI), the national transportation research think tank, has been operating the Center for Private
Highway Studies (CEPHiS), which tries to support the management of PPP project evaluations, concessions,and performance monitoring. Korea’s achievements and experiences of PPP projects in the last two
decades will be shared in the session.

Safety and Livability of Streets 
CHAIR: Bruce Appleyard (San Diego State University, United States)
LOCATION: 520E
This session will celebrate over 40 years of this work on the conflict, power, and promise of our streets.
Streets constitute the majority of our urban public spaces, yet we struggle everyday with how they should
be designed and operated for travel, safety, and livability.This panel discussion will revolve around theimportance of streets and streetspace, especially in the shadows of our experiences with COVID-19 which,in some instances, has forever changed our relationship with streets. Participants are invited to explore
and share key findings from their own work on streets and reflect on the topics of street livability, complete
streets and Vision Zero. To help generate group discussion, key findings from the body of research buildingon the book Livable Streets 2.0 -- the seminal research leading to the general theory that streets are forpeople, not merely conduits for cars – will be presented.

CHAIR: Ashish Verma (IISc, India)
LOCATION: 512B
There are many linkages between sustainable transport and livability of cities and the policy, planning,
design, and engineering interventions that affect these connections. These linkages of sustainabletransport to livability may include impacts on: quality of life, equity, social justice; safety, accessibility,
affordability, and environmental quality; disaster resiliency; physical, mental, economic, and social wellbeing, etc., and similar other indicators of livability. These connections have still not been researchedenough and therefore requires special attention through special session invited presentations, tounderstand them better.

CHAIR: Greg Marsden (University of Leeds, UK)
LOCATION: 522B
The twin challenges of decarbonisation and decongestion have resulted in hugely ambitious, often
described as ‘disruptive’ policy transition pathways being set out. Whilst technical analysis shows that
there needs to be a careful blend of travel demand reduction, a shift away from the private car and atransition to zero emission mobility, such approaches prove elusive to stitch together. The politics ofchange which challenge the neo-liberal norms which have been established over the decades of thetransition to car dominated cities is difficult. We therefore see governments reach for ever more fanciful
adoption rates for electric vehicles, ever greater potential market benefits if they can be the global
leaders in new mobility services, delivery robots or air taxis. This session asks what we can understandabout the current hype cycles and how research can inform policy on how to take a more balanced viewof both the opportunities and threats posed by these new mobility imaginaries. How should weunderstand and analyze policy hype as a governance strategy?

LOCATION: 521
In the face of the new requirements brought about by the global carbon neutral strategy and the conceptof sustainable urban development, it is urgent for China's transport sector to discuss and study therelevant strategies from the perspectives of policy, planning and practice, to organize and coordinate therelated functional departments, and to implement them properly, so that the development of cities andurban transport promote each other and develop in a coordinated manner.This Panel Session invites fiveinternationally renowned leading scholars to share their experience and perspectives on important issues,challenges, and opportunities in the design, planning, development, and operations of future mobility
development in Chinese cities, on both passenger and freight transportation, and from multicontinental
perspectives.

CHAIR: Shima Hamidi (Johns Hopkins University, United States)
LOCATION: 522C
Negative health effects related to the transportation system can fall hardest on vulnerable members of
the community. Households in low-income and underserved areas typically own fewer vehicles, have
longer commutes, and have higher transportation costs and lack sidewalks, bikeways, safe crossings, trees,and other features that make active transportation safe and inviting. Inadequate or substandard
infrastructure in low-income and minority communities can prevent people from using active
transportation. Evidence shows that walking and bicycling is unsafe for transit captive residents leading tohigher incidence rates of collisions involving pedestrians and cyclists.Underserved and minority
communities are often located near highways and other transportation facilities that produce air pollution
and noise leading to negative health effects such as heart disease, asthma, and diabetes. These
communities are also less likely to have convenient services, parks, healthcare, and healthy food. This
special session discusses some of the most recent research findings on these challenges and strategies
that local governments and transportation agencies can take to increase active transportation, improvesafety, improve air quality and increase transportation affordability for low-income and underserved
communities.

Dr. Shima Hamidi: Johns Hopkins University will provide an overview of the historical evolution
and understanding of who benefits and who is burdened as traditionally underserved resulting
from structural and systematic approaches to transportation investments that are inherently
spatial in nature.
Dr. Hamidi will further speak to the concentration of chronic disease burden found in the mostunderserved communities and potential benefits that could be realized through investments inunderserved locations.
Dr. Arlie Atkins: University of Arizona will present a novel approach to understanding factors
influencing active travel within underserved communities applying qualitative research methods

CHAIRS: Roel Gevaers (University of Antwerp, Belgium) and Wouter Dewulf (University of Antwerp,
Belgium)
LOCATION: 521
The strong expected growth of the cross-border e-commerce market (±25% annually) combined with theincreased general increase in air cargo since the pandemic attracted many companies to participate incross-border e-commerce logistics. This phenomenon had an impact on the entire classical logistic
ecosystem. This session focuses on aviation and e-commerce ecosystems due to the recent growth ininterest in both industries. The ecosystems will be discussed from different perspectives (maritime andaviation) in the first part, mainly to set the scene. In the second part, the panel participants will discuss
the changing ecosystems based on statements/opinions. This special session aims to connect the industry
with the academic world. This aim will be achieved through the introduction presentations and the panel
discussion, containing three to five invited experts from the maritime/aviation industry/academic world.

CHAIR: Michele Acciaro (Copenhagen Business School, Denmark)
LOCATION: 513A
There is no ‘silver bullet’ for the ‘greening’ and the decarbonization of maritime transport and there aredifferent dimensions and measures that need to be considered, including technology and operationalenergy efficiency improvements onboard the vessels, the use of alternative fuels and energy sources (i.e.
wind propulsion), the role of regulation and policy for the encouragement and the acceleration of the106various initiatives. The distinct and essential role of ports for the decarbonization of the sector – from theprovision of onshore power supply and refueling points for alternative fuels to their potential role as hubs
for the production of these fuels is also key. All these elements will be part of the presentations anddiscussion in this session.

CHAIRS:
Yusak Susilo (University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Austria)
Silvio Nocera (IUAV University of Venice, Italy)
Lori Tavasszy (Delft University of Technology, Netherlands)
LOCATION: 513E
This special session builds on this special issue on Integration passenger-freight currently in progress inthe journal Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice. The “Green Paper on Urban Mobility”,
issued in 2007 by the European Commission, first highlighted how passenger-freight integration could
improve the efficiency, sustainability, and desirability of short-distance transport in urban environments.
For more than a decade, then, the idea of combining passenger and freight transport has been subject ofacademic discussions. Several EU-funded projects, moreover, have put a specific focus on the topic (e.g.
NOVELOG) or have considered integrated passenger-freight transport among other first-last mile transportinnovations (e.g. SMILE). Scholars have proposed optimization strategies, assessment methods, andcontributed to the understanding of the main drivers for success and failure of integrated
passenger/freight systems. Some of the main conclusions are that this type of integration is promising interms of potential to reduce negative externalities of mobility and logistics, while positively responding tocontemporary challenges such as the on-demand economy. However, normative/regulatory issues and,more in general, a lacking governance/policy framework put the viability of integrated settings at risk.
Most scholars developed the conceptual framework, whereas the approach to real case studies and policyrelated aspects has often been left behind. This special session intends to discuss the different approaches

111

proposed so far with regard to the topic of passenger-freight integration for short-haul first-last mile,
focusing on implications on transport and logistics policy and practice. Topics of interest include: Assessment and simulation of economic, environmental and social impacts deriving from the introductionof passenger-freight integration schemes; - Potential of the integration of passenger and freight transport
in rural contexts; - Role and impact of new digital technologies on the feasibility of passenger-freight
integration; - Role and practices of stakeholder engagement and mobility planning for successful
passenger-freight integration; - Analysis of behavioral factors and willingness to support and joinpassenger-freight integrated schemes by users and stakeholders; - Models and studies on conditions
concurring to the feasibility and operational convenience of passenger-freight integrated schemes.

CHAIR: Ming Zhong (ITS Research Center, Wuhan Univ. of Technology, China)
LOCATION: 518A
Policies related to climate (e.g., carbon peaking and neutral) and sustainability require more than justefficiency to be considered within the transportation planning process; Instead, a systematicalconsideration of a set of related factors is necessary, where those related to the economy, land-use/spacepattern, environment and transportation and their interactive relationship must be represented andpertinent policies can be evaluated in such a unified decision-support system (DSS) – integrated land-use
transport model (ILUTM). With an increased access to big data and AI technologies, better understanding
to the behaviors of system and more accurate forecast of relevant variables can be done. Based on the119advances of the above fields, innovative ILUTM approaches are on their way to provide finer analysis
results, in order to provide an improved transportation planning process. The proposed WCTR special
session is dedicated to discuss and present the latest progress in this particular area by organizing
renowned scholars in this area.

In the urban area, Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning is – to a large extent – considered as a state-ofthe-art approach addressing the current challenges of transport and mobility such as low-carbon transportsystems, inclusiveness, participatory planning, and accessibility to facilities and amenities, and applied toa number of cities in Europe and worldwide. On the other hand, in rural areas, the car is a dominant modeof transport and the body of knowledge towards sustainable, inclusive and accessible transport is limitedwith many research gaps. Built upon the past and ongoing activities of SIG G2 and ITF, we aim to discuss
principles for policy makers working in this area, and understand and discuss research needs and gaps inorder to identify the research topics that could contribute not only to better understanding but also topolicy implementation. The discussion outcomes will feed the general SIG G2 meeting during theWCTR2023, in which the next common research agenda and activities will be discussed, and will be taken
into consideration during the final phase of the ITF Sustainable Accessibility for All Working Group.

CHAIR: Sophie Sturup (Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, China)
LOCATION: 515C
The objective of this session is to discuss what paradigm shift is needed to bring about sustainable
development in the era of smart cities. Starting from acceptance of the radical change to transport
necessitated in response to climate change, sustainable development goals, and ‘smart’ technology, we
aim to discuss the innovation necessary for a paradigm shift for transport planning. We will focus on123

questioning how we might (re)define transport planning and how differently transport planning should
address problems and opportunities related to mobility in cities.

The development of electric heavy trucks has been escalating in resent year and is currently alreadyavailable commercial products from the major truck manufacturer as well as some smaller ones. At thesame time autonomous driving has become a reality and with these two technologies merged we areseeing a disruption in the transport industry, both in terms of technology, but also in terms of cost132

structure as fuel and drivers have until now made up most of the truck operation costs. In this session a
reprehensive from Einride (einride.tech) will give a speech and show their already available solution ofelectric and autonomous trucks.

CHAIR: Luo Xiao (Tongji University, China)
LOCATION: 514B
The purpose of transportation is to serve human travel demands and quality of life, rather than simply
pursuing speed and efficiency. Human-centered transportation can ensure safety, health, comfort andconvenience of people, while also reducing the negative impact on the environment, society and economy,
and achieving sustainable development. And it is crucial to study transportation from the perspective ofhuman behavior and psychology. In recent years, the development of big data technology and perception
technologies such as image recognition, video recognition, intelligent camera, multimodal hybrid
perception and networked collaboration provide a strong foundation for human-centered transportation
research. Therefore, this special session hope to create opportunities for discussion on human-centeredtransportation researches that use advanced perception techniques to analyze the traffic environment,
traffic behavior, and the complex relationship between them.

In the urban area, Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning is – to a large extent – considered as a state-ofthe-art approach addressing the current challenges of transport and mobility such as low-carbon transportsystems, inclusiveness, participatory planning, and accessibility to facilities and amenities, and applied toa number of cities in Europe and worldwide. On the other hand, in rural areas, the car is a dominant modeof transport and the body of knowledge towards sustainable, inclusive and accessible transport is limitedwith many research gaps. Built upon the past and ongoing activities of SIG G2 and ITF, we aim to discuss
principles for policy makers working in this area, and understand and discuss research needs and gaps inorder to identify the research topics that could contribute not only to better understanding but also topolicy implementation. The discussion outcomes will feed the general SIG G2 meeting during theWCTR2023, in which the next common research agenda and activities will be discussed, and will be taken
into consideration during the final phase of the ITF Sustainable Accessibility for All Working Group.

CHAIR: Valentin Carlan (University of Antwerp, Belgium)
LOCATION: 513A
The main task of the section is to review the main issues of geopolitics in order to minimize the gap
between academic research and practice. Geopolitical issues are under the scrutiny of politicians,
businessmen, academics and military experts. Key for maritime transport, ports and hinterlandconnections are guarantees of the security of the supply chain, the reduction in the cost of transportationand the duration of the traffic. For international trade, it is essential to have stable trading volumes on
exchange-traded commodities, regular sea transportation and developed port infrastructure, and longer,
all year in prospect, navigation. These are items that will be touched upon in this session.

LOCATION: 518C
The demand for transportation is at an all-time high. In this context, freight transport is especially affected.
A contradictory picture is emerging: an increased demand for transport requires more traffic, but at thesame, time these transports should be as climate-neutral as possible and adhere to schedules and resultin no delays. These demands are requested to be met regardless of what happens in the world. However,transportation and supply chains are not immune to external influences and disruptions, and are required
to adapt to continue to function.
With this in mind, in this Special Session we look at intermodal freight transport, the challenges of climatechange and geopolitical developments on freight transport in general and the need for resilient supply
chains. With two paper presentations on "The Effect of Time of Travel on the Performance of Port Related
Truck Traffic" and "The Footprint of Container Terminals: Automation and Yard Configuration," we areconsolidating the findings of the Joint Session hosted by SIG B3 and TRB’s AT045 at WCTRS Virtual Meet
2022, and extending these to include new perspectives on intermodal transport.

Society of Traffic Engineers 
CHAIR: Keshuang Tang (College of Transportation Engineering, Tongji University, China)
LOCATION: 513B
Knowing highway capacity appropriately is a classic, but an essential issue in all the aspects of trafficengineering, i.e. road planning and design and traffic operations. In recent years, several interesting
evidences showing a shrinking trend of highway capacity compared to decades ago, through various
empirical analyses in motorway sections and signalized intersections in Japan. This session is jointly
organized with the Japan Society of traffic Engineers (JSTE) aiming at reporting these phenomena recently
observed and exchange information internationally. And likely reasons of this trend and future
perspectives for considering highway capacity including mixed traffic flows with automated vehicles will
be discussed with audiences.

network design and simulations 
CHAIR: Catherine Morency (Polytechnique Montréal, Canada)
LOCATION: 521
Various commercial tools exist to model travel demand on networks. However, they do not necessarily
propose the adapted models, methods and functionalities to meet the expectations and needs of transit
operators namely for network design purposes (lack of precision and design approaches). Hence, they arealso typically highly expensive and are not accessible to small and medium size operators and authorities.
Hence, it is not always possible to have access to educational versions for teaching and research
purposes. In this context, Chair Mobilité from Polytechnique Montreal is co-developing, with 6 transit
operators from the Quebec Province, an open-source platform called Transition to support transit network
simulation needs. This open-source platform includes various modules to assist in the design, planning andanalysis of transit networks. The code is freely available on GitHub.This is a hands-on session whereparticipants will have the change to see how to use transition and experiment it on their own computer
through various exercises.

Resilience in the Post-Pandemic World 
CHAIR: Adolf K.Y. Ng (Graduate School of International Studies, Université Laval, Quebec City, QC,
Canada, Canada)
LOCATION: 512F
The world has experienced different types of uncertainties and risks, of which some have led to serious
disruptions in maritime transport and logistics. The vulnerability to disruptions was not only due toobsolete systems and facilities, but also short of reliable methods for enhancing the quality of resilienceplanning in maritime facilities. Hence, the session aims to: 1) explore and quantify climate-related risks
and develop a rational planning methodology for the adaptation of maritime transport and logistics toclimate change, 2) design security risk diagnosis and prediction tools and establish robust procedures forthe assessment of threats and vulnerabilities associated with maritime transport and logistics, 3) identify
maritime transport and logistics hazards due to the emergence of new technologies and operational
environments, 4) develop new theoretical analysis frameworks for risk-based resilience in maritime
transport and logistics, 5) rebuild port and resilient maritime supply chain networks, and 6) propose a
new resilience system dedicated to maritime supply chains and ports in the post COVID-19 pandemic.

CHAIR:
Chaouki Regoui (National Research Council, Canada)
LOCATION: 513D
In this special session, we aim to bring together experts from various fields to discuss the challenges andopportunities for enhancing the safety and resilience of the road freight transport network in the Canadian
Prairies and Northern Region. The economy of the Canadian Prairies and Northern Region heavily relieson the efficient and safe transportation of goods (e.g., agricultural, energy, and natural resourcecommodities) through its road freight transport system. However, the region's road network, which is192

spread out over a wide area with varying geography and weather conditions, is susceptible to risks andhazards such as road accidents, HAZMAT incidents, wildlife crashes, and extreme weather events. These
hazards pose significant risks to commercial vehicles and can disrupt the fluidity and reliability of the
supply chains.We will present and discuss the latest research, technologies, and best practices foranalyzing the risks and hazards that threaten the road freight transport system in the context of theCanadian Prairies and Northern Region.

LOCATION: 520B
The eHighway system is one solution for a significant reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in thetransport sector. The eHighway system enables so-called overhead contact line trucks (O-trucks) to drive
while charging electric energy. In this session, we provide the very latest pilot project results on the longest
O-truck track in the world. Drawing on data and insights from more than three years of field test operation
on public roads in Germany, we are covering the topics of greenhouse gas emission savings during fieldtest operations, information on the technical and operational integration potential of O-trucks bytransport companies, availability and downtime reasons of the overhead contact line system, as well as
the basic procedure for the analysis of the high amount of vehicle data. With this session we contribute tothe ongoing discussion about the strengths and weaknesses of different alternative drive technologies byconsidering the eHighway as well as other promising solutions.

SIG G2 is gathering international experiences on public transport (PT) responses to COVID-19, which will
be published as a WCTR/Elsevier Book in Q3/Q4 2023. During the lockdown, PT is the mostaffectedtransport sector with often more than 90% customers staying at home without using PT. In a longterm, rapid diffusion of working from home triggered by the pandemic seem to reduce the number ofcommuters to a certain extent but differently depending on the national or urban context of public
transport. The book consists of national chapters, in which authors inform national or urban responses ascase studies, and overview/thematic chapters, in which authors analyzes and discusses COVID-19 PT
responses from different points of views.In this special session, we will present an overview of the bookcontents, which is expected to be largely finished by the time of WCTR2023. We also invite the chapter
authors who attend to WCTR to discuss key findings in a panel discussion.

4 GETTING AROUND MONTREAL: CITY OVERVIEW AND HINTS
4.1

City overview and local information(Back to the table of contents )

Montreal’s history and facts
Montreal is Canada's second most populous city, with around 4.3 million inhabitants (metropolitan area),
and one of the largest French-speaking cities in the world. In fact, French is the only official language - andthe most widely spoken - of the province of Quebec, although a large part of the population also speaks
English. Its history dates to the 16th century and its important role in the fur trade, when Samuel deChamplain, a French explorer, established a fur trading post on the Island (present-day Pointe-à-Callière).
Before that, another French explorer, Jacques Cartier, visited Hochelaga in 1532, and claimed the area forFrance. Founded in 1642, as Ville-Marie, it officially became a city in 1832. The English have also
contributed to the city’s history. To get to know a bit more about their contribution, click here. In addition,
long before the Europeans made their way to what is currently Montreal, the indigenous peoples ofCanada had this region as their home.
Every evening, historical characters tell the history ofMontreal on Old Montreal’s trees, walls, streets, andbuildings through the Cité Mémoire project. The Cité
Mémoire is the largest video projection circuit in the world,with 27 projected scenes. The Montréal en Histoires app isalso available (in English, French, Spanish and Mandarin), so
as you can enjoy the full soundtrack of each scene. The
projections are available from May 17 to September 5, from
Tuesday to Sunday. Montreal’s history and archaeology isalso well documented in the Pointe-à-Callière museum,located at the Old Port of Montreal.

Champ-de-Mars (Source: Art Public Montreal)Montreal is a vibrant city, well known for its multiculturalenvironment, great food, and music. More than 120 distinct ethnic communities make up the populationof Montreal, making it a very international city. This is also reflected in the gastronomic character ofMontreal's restaurants, cafés, and markets.
