The Centre for Research on Transportation (CRT)<\/strong> was established in 1971 by Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al. Since 1988, it has been jointly managed by Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al, HEC Montr\u00e9al and Polytechnique Montr\u00e9al. The CRT developed internationally recognized expertise in quantitative and computer-based methods applied to the planning, management and operation of transportation networks.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n
