Paper Accepted to TRB
I received notice today that my paper on my overcrowded Bangladesh bus research has been accepted to be presented at the Transportation Research Board 2010 Annual Meeting. The paper is titled “Levels of Overcrowding in the Bus System of Dhaka, Bangladesh” and is co-authored by my advisor at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology Dr. Md. Mizanur Rahman.
This is the largest transportation conference in the world, lasting for five days. It takes place in January in Washington, D.C., and requires three hotels to hold the conference. It attracts over 10,000 attendees. This year over 3700 papers were submitted. Of those accepted for presentation, about half will be go on to be published in TRB’s journal, the Transportation Research Record. This is my first paper accepted at a U.S. conference, and the first that has a chance to be published in a journal.
