the 17th International Conference on Travel Behavior Research (IATBR)@Vienna
My name is Krittanai Sriwongphanawes. I am a first-year Ph.D. student. Between July 13th and 20th, Fukuda sensei and I joined the 17th International Conference on Travel Behavior Research (IATBR) in Vienna, Austria.
I made a presentation about a surge pricing simulation, which was part of my master’s thesis. The full name was “Investigating the Impact of Surge Pricing on Ride-Hailing Usage through a User Heterogeneity Perspective: A Simulation Approach.”
Unfortunately, my presentation was in the last session of the last day of the conference, so there were few people left. Nevertheless, we had a stimulating discussion among a small group of audiences.
This was my first time visiting a country in Europe. It was a good chance for me to experience new cultures and see new environments, not to mention to get to know esteemed professionals in the field of travel behavior research. I aimed to use this experience to improve my research in my Ph.D.
