Preface

摘要

We are fortunate to have Southwest Jiaotong University (SWJTU, Chengdu, China) to host the Fifth International Conference on Transportation Engineering (ICTE 2015). Transportation and Development Institute (T&DI) of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is a key sponsor of the conference and ASCE is the publisher of the conference proceedings. SWJTU, formerly known as Tangshan Jiaotong University, is renowned for its prestigious engineering programs in various transportation related disciplines, dating back to 1896. The editors are grateful for the kind support of SWJTU, and the organizations and individuals who played important roles for the success of the conference, which are acknowledged at the beginning of the proceedings. This conference is held in the city of Dalian with outstanding support of Dalian Jiaotong University. This is the first time that ICTE is held outside of Chengdu, China. We all appreciate the diligent work by Dalian Jiaotong University for ICTE.
