Multitude Final Conference December 2013

I had the pleasure and privilege of participating in the final conference of the EU COST Action MULTITUDE (Methods and tools for supporting the Use caLibration and validaTIon of Traffic simUlation moDEls), December 4-6, 2013 in Naples, Italy. This event brought together an international group of traffic/transportation academics and practitioners with the aim of improving the quality of simulation tools, and the ways in which we manage uncertainty in transportation engineering. I presented a keynote lecture on "The Management of Uncertainty in the Transportation Engineering Practice: Decision Maker View," participated in a panel on the "Management of Uncertainty in the Transport Decision Making" and also joined Mark Brackstone in a presentation on "Traffic Simulation Guidelines."
