The programme will consist of keynote and plenary presentations, complemented by a number of parallel tracks, addressing issues of productivity relevant to a particular sector. Transport and logistics will be one of these sectors. This 2-day conference will offer 10 lectures, of which one guest lecture will be given by David Begg, the Chairman of the Commission for Integrated Transport. In between these lectures delegates will be given the opportunity to discuss the information in several workgroups. The overriding objective of the World Services Congress is to create a heightened awareness of the commanding role of services in the 21st Century economy.
Transportation is one of the sectors to be considered.
The Congress will draw leaders from government, business, academia, foundations, and international organizations to discuss the most important issues affecting service sector growth, jobs, trade and investment, and location of service activity. Presentations on new modeling approaches, concepts, technology, practices, and trends are especially welcome. This document has identified an increased need for research in key areas such as walking, cycling, aspects of public transport and the pricing of transport systems. It has also increased interest in institutional processes related to the implementation of an integrated transport system both within the areas of transport policy and within other sectors. USA With five days of technical sessions, the TRB Annual Meeting offers one of the largest forums in the world for information exchange among transportation professionals.
