Third International
Symposium on Infrastructure Engineering in Developing Countries (IEDC-2010)
is aimed to highlight and discuss the problems of rapid urbanization in
developing countries. NED University has successfully organized two international
symposia (IEDC-2001 and IEDC-2004), which were helpful to understand and
mitigate urban infrastructure planning and management issues. A four-year
undergraduate degree program, Bachelor of Urban Engineering accredited
by Pakistan Engineering Council, is being successfully carried out to
produce a team of professionals capable of addressing urban infrastructure
planning, design and management problems. IEDC-2010 is focused on transportation
infrastructure and traffic management, which is an integral part of this
unique undergraduate program in Pakistan.
International Conference
on Sustainable Transportation and Traffic Management-2010 is the first
of its nature in Pakistan to highlight transportation and traffic management
practices over different countries of the world. It will provide the platform
for stakeholder, personnel from academia and researchers related to the
transportation industries of the participating countries. The conference
will also be helpful in sharing of ideas, transfer of technologies and
development of linkages between the transportation industries of developed
and developing countries.
The event is a part
of USAID-Higher Education Commission of Pakistan funded project entitled
"The
Development of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) based Traffic Management
Model for Metropolitan Areas of Pakistan".
This project is being jointly conducted by NED University of Engineering
and Technology (NEDUET), Karachi and Center for Advanced Infrastructure
Technology (CAIT) at the University of Mississippi, USA. It will bring
together renowned and qualified transportation and planning professionals,
academics, clients, and contractors from all over the world, for the presentation
and exchange of their experience on concepts, trends, and practices of
present-day scenarios of transportation and traffic management.
