In addition to exploring new methodologies, the workshop will address key challenges such as the explainability and interpretability of decisions, data privacy, and the practical deployment of models using contextual information. While these challenges are well-recognized in the ML community, particularly with the rise of large language models, they remain underexplored in the Operations Research community. By fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange, the workshop aims to develop scalable models, promote better benchmarking practices, and expand the applicability of contextual optimization to a wider range of real-world problems.

Cost-effective monitoring of large transportation networks, combined with the collection of accurate and relevant data on transport, vehicle movements, and individual mobility through various technologies, is crucial for enhancing transportation service efficiency. As we have seen in the past decade, recent technological advancements have produced an enormous volume of data, which is invaluable for understanding, planning, and managing transport networks in large cities, while also addressing the limitations imposed by road network growth. The challenge of managing, analyzing, and interpreting the information collected is considerable. The objective of this workshop is to bring together statisticians and engineers, with the specific goal to share recent advances, identify pressing problems, spark productive collaborations, and ultimately advance the state of the art by developing methods for the statistical modeling of data in the field of transportation. We will foster these interactions through four theme-focused daily workshops on the following topics: network modeling, travel behavior and choice modeling, traffic flow modeling and accident and safety analysis.
