Over the next 15 years, 65% of the global population will be living in cities. Nowadays, cities are not only living spaces but also engines of innovation, prosperity and economic growth. Diverse initiatives have been focusing on monitoring and integrating the diverse transportations means, models for infrastructure maintenance and security while maximizing services to its citizens. In all these initiatives, the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are becoming a fundamental component.

Objectives

This workshop aims to bring together researchers and experts, to present and discuss current implementations of intelligent transportation systems, analyze the challenges that must be overcomed in these solutions and propose new approaches that can be applied in future projects.

Topics of interest

The workshop invites original papers that make contributions to modelling, control and implementation of intelligent transportation systems. We welcome papers involving any combination of theory, analytical modeling and optimization, numerical simulations, real-world data-driven approaches, experimentation, advanced deployment and case studies. Studies involving economic, behavioral and environmental aspects are equally welcome.

Domains of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Modelling, control and simulation of traffic for ITS
  • Modelling and Analysis of emissions, noise and the impact of transportation into the environment
  • Analysis of human factors and human behavior in transportation systems
  • Management of Multi-modal and public transportation
  • Management and mitigation of emergencies and accidents
  • Applications of sensors and Big data to ITS
  • Design and evaluation of machine learning models applied to ITS
  • Project definition and economical considerations for ITS field testing and deployment
