These two research works are expected to be presented in the 5th conference to be held in Fukuoka, Japan in 2003.

Purpose
The Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies (EASTS) is offering research grants to a group of researchers involved in transportation and related fields through its International Cooperative Research Activity (ICRA). The purpose of the ICRA is to promote the research activities of the EASTS by encouraging international cooperative research.

Requirements
To truly attain the objective of fostering international collaborative efforts, the members of the research group should be composed of researchers from two or more countries/areas. Interested groups are required to submit an application form with the research proposal for consideration and approval by the EASTS Board Meeting. Grantees are expected to present the results of their collaborative research in a special session of the 6th EASTS conference to be held in 2005.
