International Association for Travel Behaviour Research

(IATBR)

MISSION

The IATBR is an international association of researchers who are interested in research that advances the state-of-the-understanding of the link among the activity, information exchange and travel behaviour of individuals. The association was established in the early 1970’s to facilitate the exchange of information among researchers around the world with a board reflecting the international balance of interests in travel behaviour research.

The main activity of the association has been the organisation of triennial conferences on travel behaviour research. Papers presented at the IATBR conferences are published in a series of Elsevier books and in special issues of various journals. The Association meets annually at the Transportation Research Board meeting in Washington, D.C. and the European Transport Conference (formerly PTRC) in Europe. In addition, IATBR supports presentation sessions at other international transportation conferences (such as the World Conference on Transport Research) and organises or co-sponsors small specialty conferences.
