Proceedings

The Institute of Transportation Studies at UC Berkeley has supported transportation research at the University of California since 1948. About 50 faculty members, 50 staff researchers and more than 100 graduate students take part in this multidisciplinary program, which receives roughly $40 million in research funding on average each year. Alexandre Bayen, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, is its director.

Transportation Models In the Policy-Making Process: Uses, Misuses, And Lessons For The Future

(1998)

Panel 1. This session set the stage for the conference by examining some of the overarching issues in transportation modeling. Martin Wachs spoke about the promise and limitation of models from an ethical frame of reference. Genevieve Giuliano followed with an examination of how some of the changes underway in society may limit the ability to produce useful transportation forecasts. Finally, Larry Dahms commented from the perspective of an agency that operates within the policy-making process. Panel 2. The aim of this session was to generate a discussion of ways to make better use of models and analysis in policy making, by examining innovative approaches to coordinating these typically fragmented processes. Mark Brucker and Ann Stevens served as co-moderators for this session
