The ASCE Transportation & Development Institute (T&DI) is pleased to announce the co-location of the 19th International Conference on Automated People Movers and Automated Transit Systems (APM-ATS 2024) and the International Conference on Transportation and Development (ICTD 2024). These conferences are being held in partnership with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT).
This unique international conference collaboration will provide an exclusive opportunity to network, interact, and exchange information with worldwide leaders in the fields of transportation & development and APM-ATS. It will bring together transportation systems and infrastructure practitioners and researchers, operation managers, project/construction managers, academics, and transportation & development practitioners, consultants, and contractors from around the world.
Why Attend?
More than half of the world's population currently lives in cities. This number is expected to increase to two-thirds in less than 40 years, thanks to the pace of urbanization. Airports are now incorporated into the urban landscape with development taking place right up to the boundaries. Automated People Movers (APM) and Automated Transit Systems (ATS) have been integral to city and airport transportation for more than 50 years. As professionals work together, the coming decades will bring more opportunities and challenges to improve the quality of life across the globe.
It's important to consider the potential of innovative applications of APM and ATS. How will these systems develop and improve? Can technologies like personal rapid transit and autonomous road vehicles enhance transportation efficiency? How can these systems work in conjunction with existing and future physical infrastructure? There are endless possibilities for the future. Let’s explore them together.
