【讲座内容简介】

In this talk I will briefly review the history of urban travel forecasting, from the founding of the field in the 1930s to the present day.  I will begin with the development of the “traditional” methods and how they had shaped the practice of transportation planning. Then, I turn to the scholarly efforts and achievements that had made the field a thriving multidisciplinary scientific enterprise.  I also address the shortcomings of the existing methodologies that have drawn sharp criticisms in the past.  The talk ends with my speculations about the future of the field.
