ETC 2025 - TM Call for Papers

We would like to hear from you about whatever work you are doing. For this year’s conference we would also like to highlight a small number of themes for which we are planning sessions in 2025.

• The future of transport modelling 
• Changes to demand for modelling, skills base and what clients want
• Agent and activity-based modelling 
• Best practice in demand / assignment modelling 
• Data science and AI applications in development of transport modelling
• Modelling approaches for policy priorities and key projects
• Modelling for active travel
   
  We are also specifically planning joint sessions with the data committee 
• Data for transport modelling
• Data for agent and activity based modelling

The committee encourages the debate on the future of transport modelling examples of good practice. We welcome abstracts from authors who have completed or are in the process of completing research, or projects which move forward the theory and practice of modelling in transport policy and planning. 

This year, we would again also like to invite expressions of interest to host innovative sessions which improve the variety of the conference. Ideas could include debates, interactive events as well as traditional presentations. 

Important notice:
Each year we receive more abstracts than can be accommodated in the programme. If your abstract is selected, please be aware that others have been rejected, that the ETC organisation has invested time in devising an attractive and coherent programme and that delegates use this programme to decide to come to the conference. 

Before submitting your abstract, please make sure at least one of the authors can attend the conference to present the paper or poster, that finances are available for conference fee, travel and accommodation costs and that you have/will obtain the approval needed (from management or client) to present the work in public at the time of the conference. If your paper is accepted, you will be required to book and pay for the conference by the end of June.

We do understand that sometimes circumstances can force authors to withdraw. If so, you would help us by informing us as soon as possible. Last minute withdrawals or no-shows negatively affect the conference experience of your fellow transport professionals.
