This meeting hopes to develop a deeper understanding of the dynamical system approach for modeling transportation systems: what we already know and what the research questions are in order to move this approach forward; To explore possible contexts where the dynamical system approach will play an important role, such as modeling disruptive networks, dynamic management strategies under emergent learning processes and non-steady conditions, etc.; to establish a global collaborative network of dynamic network scientists to share experience, methods, and data, and to train a new generation of transport scientists.
