THNS Forum 2024 – Registration

About THNS

The THNS Forum is an International Symposium on the Sustainable Development of Urban Transport Systems. The forum got the name T-H-N-S from the theme of its first edition in 2008- “Transport à Haut Niveau de Service” (transport of high-level service). THNS especially fosters the East-West exchange of knowledge advances: research outcomes, innovative technologies, implementation reports etc. Of primary interest to academics and consultants, it may also be of
interest to specialized policy makers and business representatives (operators, constructors).

All along its successive yearly editions starting from 2008, the major THNS topic has been the development of high-quality transport solutions: high quality to people as users, combined to high quality to the environment, with special emphasis on the urban environment including the relation to local dwellers. BRT and LRT lines make a prominent theme.
