Summary

The assessment of planning methods, in particular travel analysis methods and their applications, is the subject of this conference, which is a follow-up to the Conference on Urban Transportation Planning in the 1980s. This conference, as have others, attempted to consolidate and codify the growing body of literature on travel analysis procedures. By bringing together practitioners and researchers to share ideas and concerns, it also focused on the interaction between theory and practice. The aim of the conference was to determine how travel analysis methods can and should be applied to various problems. Therefore, identifying methods, defining the state of the art, describing how methods can and have been applied, identifying gaps between art and practice that require greater dissemination of current knowledge, and developing research were the focal points of the four-day meeting.
