Ogden Transport Lecture

I was honored to be selected to deliver the 2014 Ogden Transport Lecture, at the State Library of Victoria in Melbourne Australia, sponsored by the Institute of Transport Studies (ITS), Department of Civil Engineering, Monash University on August 27, 2014. This lecture series honors Prof. Ken Ogden who founded the ITS at Monash in 1969. I appreciated the opportunity to meet Prof. Ogden and many other leaders in the transport arena in the State of Victoria. I also thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to meet with many of the Monash students who are focusing their research in the transport area. Prof. Majid Sarvi and his colleagues were wonderful hosts, and I truly appreciated their hospitality. A special treat was to see Dr. Meead Saberi who was my student at Portland State University, who went on to receive his Ph.D. at Northwestern University and is now a Lecturer at Monash. Many thanks to all for a wonderful experience.
