This grant provides participant support funds for the 19th International Symposium on Transportation and Traffic Theory (ISTTT) to be held July 18-20, 2011 in Berkeley, California. The symposium will showcase 35 original papers drawn from a pool of over 500 submissions from around the world. Selections were made via a rigorous, multi-stage peer-review process. The 35 selected papers will be presented in plenary sessions. To disseminate their findings, all papers will be published in i) hard-copy proceedings; ii) Elsevier's on-line Procedia series; and iii) the prestigious archival journal series Transportation Research. A special workshop session will be held to explore additional ways of placing the symposium findings into professional practice. The funds from NSF will support key elements of the symposium. Part of the funds will cover fellowships to foster participation from a select set of advanced graduate students from underrepresented groups.Since its inception, the ISTTT has been the premier gathering of transport theorists. The coming Berkeley Symposium promises to build on that tradition: the papers accepted for the event represent breakthrough research from around the world. These papers have the potential to challenge current thinking about transport science, and perhaps even to transform the field. And the papers address a variety of pressing topics in transportation: they include ideas for promoting greener, more sustainable travel modes, and for transporting people and goods in emergency situations. Given the role that transportation plays in the world and in the lives of her people, the ideas unveiled in the coming symposium are expected to be of real significance.

该赠款为将于2011年7月18日至20日在加利福尼亚州伯克利举行的第19届国际运输与交通理论（ISTTT）的参与者支持资金。 该研讨会将展示35篇原始论文，这些论文来自全球500多个提交的池。 选择是通过严格的多阶段同行评审过程进行的。 35篇选定的论文将在全体会议中介绍。 为了传播他们的发现，所有论文将在i）硬拷贝程序中发表； ii）Elsevier的在线程序系列； iii）享有声望的档案期刊系列运输研究。 将举行一次特殊的研讨会，以探索将研讨会调查结果纳入专业实践的其他方法。 NSF的资金将支持研讨会的关键要素。 资金的一部分将涵盖奖学金，以培养来自代表性不足的小组的精选高级研究生的参与。由于其成立，ISTTT一直是运输理论家的主要聚会。 即将到来的伯克利研讨会有望建立在这一传统的基础上：该活动接受的论文代表了来自世界各地的突破性研究。 这些论文有可能挑战当前关于运输科学的思考，甚至​​可能改变了这一领域。 这些论文介绍了运输方面的各种迫切主题：它们包括促进绿色，更可持续的旅行模式以及在紧急情况下运输人员和商品的想法。 鉴于运输在世界和人民的生活中所发挥的作用，预计即将到来的研讨会中揭示的想法将具有真正的意义。
