The WTC Standing Committees are pleased to sponsor a special hybrid session, highlighting research work by international students to promote understanding and future cooperation between China and countries along the “Belt and Road.” With the theme of "Transportation Studies", international students can present their research work in the form of podium presentations or posters. As an alternative to their research work in China, international students can also take advantage of the forum to introduce current practices of transportation in their home countries, including topics such as transportation infrastructure, traffic operations and management, standards and specifications, emerging technologies and their impact, as well as transportation culture.   The session will be held as a part of the 2019 World Transportation Convention to be held in Beijing.
