Traffic and Granular Flow 2013

For its tenth meeting, the conference "Traffic and Granular Flow" (TGF) returns to the location of its very first conference held in 1995 at Forschungszentrum Jülich. The conference will take place from 25 to 27 September 2013 and is organized in cooperation with the Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Cologne. Originally initiated to disseminate new ideas by considering the similarities of traffic and granular flow, TGF'13 now covers a broad range of topics related to driven particle and transport systems. Besides granular flow and highway traffic, its scope includes data transport, pedestrian and evacuation dynamics, intercellular transport, swarm behaviour and collective dynamics of other biological systems.
