The article focuses on the book "Proceedings of the Seventh International Symposium on Transportation and Traffic Theory," edited by T. Sasaki and T. Yamanka. As with previous symposia, abstracts were screened in an attempt to ensure that papers were relevant to the symposium. Based on these, full manuscripts were invited to be referred, with about one-third of the manuscripts being published and presented. Nevertheless the quality of the papers varies considerably. In attempting to reflect current interests while at the same time providing a forum for theoretical research, the theme of the symposia has evolved from Traffic Flow Theory, emphasizing Car Following and Queueing, to encompass a more general areas which includes theory related to all transportation modes. The papers of the last three symposia have essentially fallen into the following groupings, flow theory, network theory, public transportation, travel behavior. Flow Theory still has the greatest representation, probably due to some inertia of interest and the fact that alternative fora for it do not exist. However, it is gradually expanding to encompass Signal Control and in turn Traffic Management, as one attempts to cope with the urban traffic problems with increased use of traffic signals and computers.
