Welcome  

 

The International Conference on Recent Issues and Solution Methodologies in Transportation Engineering and Planning: Sustainable Transport (RISTEP 2010) will be held at NIT Srinagar, Kashmir from June 15 to 18, 2010. The conference covers both scientific and operational aspects of transportation and traffic engineering (spanning all modes) and  provides a platform for researchers, academicians, policy makers and other stake holders from all around the world to discuss the current chronic transportation problems, effective and innovative solution techniques and to provide a deeper understanding of the field.

 

Topics welcomed by the conference include but are not limited to the following areas:
