Guest editorial Universities' Transport Study Group UK Annual Conference 2012

摘要

This issue of Transportation Planning and Technology represents a special issue of papers that have emanated from the 44th Annual Universities' Transport Study Group Conference held at the University of Aberdeen, in January 2012. The UTSG Conference is for transport academics and researchers from the UK and Irish universities and is 'designed to discuss research needs, research in progress and to give research students the opportunity to present papers on their work'. As many as 118 delegates attended the Aberdeen Conference and, as with the 2009, 2010 and 2011 conferences, those presenting were invited to have their papers considered for inclusion in the special issue. From this a number of papers were carefully selected by the special issue editors and subjected to a rigorous review process, in the usual manner.
