Optimization strategies for transportation October 31 to November 4, 2016 American Institute of Mathematics, San Jose, CA Organizers: Chris Augenstein, George Naylor, and Bala Rajaratnam Description: This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will examine new and different methods for optimizing transit efficiencies and estimating new transit services in emerging or underserved markets using applied mathematical research for the area served by the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA). The major goal will be to define an efficient service based on optimizing a discreet set of constraints driven by systematic mathematical methodologies and analysis, developing a system responsive to meeting travel demands based on a transit route structure unfettered by past route structures, historical service patterns or institutional constraints. Deadline: June 30, 2016 Details: http://aimath.org/workshops/upcoming/transportation
