16th International Conference on Transportation Planning and Implementation Methodologies for Developing Countries (TPMDC)

The practical problems associated with transportation systems engineering in many developing countries including India and developed countries are different and complex. Therefore, researchers and agencies have been working to tackle these challenges and to identify implementable solutions for various transportation engineering related problems as per prevailing conditions. In this direction, TPMDC 2026 brings an ideal platform for researchers, practitioners, and agencies to share their experience and practical solutions to various transportation engineering problems. This conference invites full papers from academia and extended abstracts from industries, related to various themes under the umbrella of transportation systems engineering.

The TPMDC conference is being organized by the Transportation Systems Engineering (TSE) group of the Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India. The TSE group started in 1988 and currently has eleven faculty members and more than fifty graduate students, working in various research areas. The TPMDC workshop/conference started in 1996 and conducted biennially at IIT Bombay. The organizing committee has decided to organize the 16th version of TPMDC on 9 to 11 December 2026 at IIT Bombay, Mumbai (India).
