Avant IMC will be hosting, on behalf of the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies, an international symposium on September 14-15, 2010, at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Herndon VA. This is an integral part of the SHRP2_C20 TRB project, which is part of a significant effort to foster fresh ideas and new approaches in freight demand modeling and associated data.
Jim Brock, President & CEO of Avant IMC, will moderate the session. Sixteen presenters from various countries will be sharing their research on many different perspectives of freight-demand forecasting.
This symposium is intended to unearth effective freight-demand models that are supported by robust theory, well-developed computational methods, freight-data sources, and practical visualization techniques for communicating results.

The strategic business plan combines various elements of the regional transportation plan, based on extensive citizen outreach and work programs with different funding streams, and aligns them with legislative needs and opportunities. In comparison to traditional, independent transportation plans, the business plan integrates multiple plans and programs.
