Greetings!
This symposium will provide a forum to explore how transportation planners, in focusing on freight flows, can benefit from using private-sector techniques to amplify existing freight-demand forecasting models, data, and methods. Public-sector planners, modeling researchers, and private-sector supply-chain practitioners are encouraged to submit short papers/abstracts (1-3 pages) describing their current research, applicable methodologies, and case studies on any of the example topics listed in the Call for Papers by August 15, 2013, to SHRP2SecondSymposium@gfnet.com. Two prizes will be awarded--$2,500 to the private-sector idea that is most applicable to the public sector and $2,500 to the public-sector idea that best demonstrates linkage to private-sector models, data, or methods.
