Announcement

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have the promise of improving mobility, safety, and security, while ensuring energy efficiency and reducing environmental impacts of transportation systems. In ITS, these seemingly conflicting objectives are accomplished through advanced research and development and implementation of state-of-the-art communications, controls, automation, and information technologies in transportation systems.

The 14th IEEE ITS Conference theme is Safe, Secure, and Sustainable transportation, which ensures saving energy and the environment. IEEE ITSC 2011 brings together researchers, engineers, practitioners, managers, and policy makers from academia, industry, and government to share and discuss the latest in ITS R&D results and implementation strategies. This conference specially includes dedicated sessions at which Government experts and decision makers will share the latest R&D and implementation needs of Intelligent Transportation Systems.

Original and innovative contributions in ITS research and advanced implementations and deployments are sought for technical sessions. Articles conveying new developments in theory, analytical and numerical simulation and modeling, experimentation, advanced deployment and case studies, results of laboratory or field operational tests, and other related creative endeavors as well as special educational development for ITS curriculum are sought. The conference theme is Safe, Secure, and Sustainable transportation, which ensures saving energy and the environment. The technical areas include but are not limited to the following:

At the heart of the nation's capital on the campus of The George Washington University, this IEEE Conference provides an ideal setting for exchange of ideas between academic/industry researchers and Government decision makers.

Washington DC offers numerous technical and site seeing opportunities to conference participants. Home to some of the world's best museums, finest dinning and shopping, spectacular parks, and historic buildings in a beautiful metropolitan environment, Washington DC has something to offer to every visitor.

Technical and Special Tours

Special technical tours will be arranged to visit various government Laboratories such as the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Laboratories at Turner Fairbank Highway Research Center, McLean, VA, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), among others.

A variety of Special Tours can be accessed via commercial venues. Most capital area attractions are either within walking distance or a short Metro (subway) ride.
