The UTSG Electronic Mailing List
An Email based mailing list has been established by the Universities Transport Study Group (UTSG). The list provides an electronic discussion forum and information resource for researchers in the field of transport primarily, but not exclusively, in the academic community.
The list was established in October 1993, and has a steadily growing membership, including researchers in all continents of the World.
The aim of the list is to facilitate information sharing, (e.g. news of new research, conferences, seminars and workshops) and to promote links, collaborative working, joint problem-solving and mutual support. Depending on the level of usage of the list and on demand, sub-lists may be set up in the future for special interests or particular types of information.
The list is administered by the Institute for Transport Studies, University of Leeds. It is one of several hundred lists managed by the JISCmail facility funded by the Higher and Further Education Councils of the UK.

Hello Everyone,
I am a PhD Student at Edinburgh Napier University, Transport Research Institute, in Scotland. I am undertaking research on the Impacts of Shared Ridesourcing services (such as UberPOOL) on public transport and congestion.
I would like to know if anyone is working on similar projects in the UK or in other countries. or maybe if you are involved in assessing impacts of other disruptive mobility services. [...]

Dear Colleagues,
We will be teaching a one-week course at MIT this summer:
Modeling and Simulation of Transportation Networks, July 31 - August 4, 2017
<http://professional.mit.edu/programs/short-programs/modeling-simulation-tra
nsportation-networks>
http://professional.mit.edu/programs/short-programs/modeling-simulation-tran
sportation-networks
Modeling and simulation methods are essential elements in the design and
operation of transportation systems. We are witnessing a proliferation of
interest in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and Smart Mobility in
all levels of government and industry. Transportation researchers have
developed models and simulators for use in the planning, design, and
operations of such systems. This course draws heavily on the results of
recent research and is sponsored by the ITS [...]

Dear all,
As hybrid and electric passenger vehicles are becoming increasingly more mainstream, such fast-paced consumer adoption brings about operational challenges in meeting the needs of a very wide demographic of drivers. The architecture of the vehicles, components and infrastructure are just a few of the key issues faced by the industry.
HEVC 2018 will highlight the current solutions being sought to support the design and development of electric vehicles, and the infrastructure that is needed to keep the momentum going. Practical application and innovative trends in theoretical research will be shared at this popular technical knowledge exchange forum.
