Demographic forecasts indicate that the world population will reach nine billion by 2050, with 70 percent living in urban areas. One challenge resulting from such population growth is an increasing need for high quality mobility solutions. Another is related to logistics and supply chain management. The 4th NYUAD Transportation Symposium will provide a forum for learning about recent developments in smart cities, traffic modeling, control, and logistics and supply chains with the aim of addressing challenges of fast urbanization, as well as the emergence of new technologies and data sources.

5th NYUAD Transportation Symposium' is planned for Fall 2019. For more details please email nyuad.engineering-symposia@nyu.edu.
