The conference series Trafc and Granular Flow has been established in 1995 and has since then been held biannually. At that time, the investigation of granular materials and trafc was still somewhat exotic and was just starting to become popular among physicists. Originally the idea behind this conference series was to facilitate the c- vergence of the two ?elds, inspired by the similarities of certain phenomena and the use of similar theoretical methods. However, in recent years it has become clear that probably the diferences between the two systems are much more interesting than the similarities. Nevertheless, the importance of various interrelations among these ?elds is still growing.
