The 17th International Symposium on Transportation and Traffic Theory ( ISTTT17 ) was held at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, London, UK from July 23 - 25, 2007. The ISTTT series is the main gathering for the world's transportation and traffic theorists, and those who are interested in contributing to or gaining a deeper understanding of the field. The Symposium deals with both scientific and operational aspects of transportation and traffic, spanning all modes of transport, and covering freight as well as private and public transport. This publication contains 36 papers presented at the symposium, covering theories and modelling of highway design, traffic flow, traffic assignment, origin destination traffic, driver behaviour in traffic, road capacity, road pricing, journey decision making, traffic control and adaptive cruisecontrol.
