Welcome to the website of the PANAM 2010, XVI Pan-American Conference of Traffic and Transportation Engineering and Logistics, organized by CESUR / Instituto Superior Técnico, from Lisbon, Portugal.

The organizing team is an emerging young group of great potential, with internationally recognised Transport researchers and a wide and multidisciplinary research spectrum. Its 10 permanent members in charge of research and teaching, plus 15 students with scholarships for Master and PhD courses, usually cover 4 to 5 nationalities. The senior members of this team have had a strong involvement in PANAM congresses activities since 1995. Making the 16th PANAM Conference in Lisbon will be of great importance for the networking of our younger generation.

The PANAM is the most important conference on transportation at the Iberian-American context. It has been organized for more than 25 years, and gathers technicians and researchers from all over the world, with a strong participation from South America, Portugal and Spain.

In addition, the XVI Pan-American Conference of Traffic and Transportation Engineering and Logistics will be held immediately after the 12th WCTR Conference allowing participants of the two conferences to enjoy this unique networking opportunity having a full week in the beautiful city of Lisbon.

The XVI PANAM Congress and the XII World Conference on Transport Research in 2010 in Lisbon have received the formal endorsement of representatives of all stakeholders, namely: Government, Public Administration, Foundation for Science and Technology, Universities, and Transport and Infrastructure Operators.

PANAM 2010 will be held on DECivil, Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture of Instituto Superior Técnico. The DECivil is located inside the Alameda Campus of IST, just a few minutes away from the city center.

The welcoming team is looking forward to receive you in Lisbon. To know our group in advance, please visit our site: www.civil.ist.utl.pt/nispt
