TRE Division in the 30th Annual Conference of the Transportation Science Society of the Philippines (TSSP)

 

Last September 13, 2024, the 30th Annual Conference of the Transportation Science Society of the Philippines (TSSP), in cooperation with the City Government of Iloilo and University of the Philippines Visayas, took place at the Diversion 21 Hotel, Iloilo City, with the theme of Sustainable Transport and Mobility Choices for Healthier Cities. Scholars, transport professionals, practitioners, and students from across the country were present to share their research and gain knowledge with regards to promoting sustainable transportation in the country. 

Three (3) papers by students of the Transportation Engineering (TRE) Division of the Civil Engineering Department, led by Dr. Alexis M. Fillone, were presented in the Transportation Science Society of the Philippines (TSSP) conference in different sessions. Dr. Fillone also chaired one of the sessions and delivered the closing remarks.

The presented studies and researchers are as follows: 

1. Characterizing Traffic Behaviour on Flood Roads of Metro Manila by Lance Kenneth D. Mamuyac, Jon Robin D. Delos Reyes, Louise Shaola L. Lumanglas, Eian Lanz C. Rebotiaco (Undergraduate Students) and Dr. Alexis M. Fillone (Adviser).

2. Analysis of the First-Mile and Last-Mile Options of LRT/MRT Users in Metro Manila by Sophia Renée M. Dimla, Marie Patricia Denise U. Hong, Nicole T. Pelias (Undergraduate students) and Dr. Alexis M. Fillone (Adviser).

In addition to the conference, the 3rd Workshop for Young Researchers (3rd WYRe) was held last September 12 by the Transportation Science Society of the Philippines at UP Visayas, Iloilo City. It aims to provide a venue for both undergraduate and graduate students to interact with different professionals to discuss opportunities and dilemmas in the transportation sector, as well as build connections among students and institutions. 

The students were also inducted into the conference as new student members of the Transportation Science Society of the Philippines (TSSP).
