Call for Abstracts
Modelling World International, 2021, April 20, 21 and 22
Modelling World International is a great opportunity for transport modellers across the UK and Europe to showcase home-grown innovation, keep up to date with the latest developments, share views, and benefit from interactive sessions with global experts.
We’re reaching out to you for ideas, insights and suggestions for keynotes, presentations, workshops, talking heads, demos, panels and more. With a virtual event, everything is possible….
Below are some ideas to get you thinking. Submissions will be considered by event organiser Landor LINKS and the event steering committee. Please send to Juliana by 15 March 2021, on juliana.orourke@landor.co.uk
We invite abstracts (no more than 250 words; we don’t require full papers) in the following categories, including:
-
Talk/session title
-
Short 50 word speaker bio details
-
Speaker contact details
Fundamental questions
​
-
Uncertainty: emerging from the pandemic and recognising all previous models are now wrong
-
Modelling in the spotlight: what can we learn from the scrutiny of public health models, and how will this improve transport modelling?
-
Model transferability in time and space – are we confident that relationships estimated when building the model are still valid now, and can be assumed valid in future?
New challenges
-
Climate change: air quality, fuel modelling, electric, petrol, diesel
-
Non equilibrium models
-
Modelling active modes
-
First and last mile, and how to include in models
-
Car ownership models – the rise of SUVs
