9th ITS European Congress - Dublin

Tue, 18 Dec 2012 14:25:09 +0100

The 9th European Congress and Exhibition will be held 4–7 June 2013 at the Convention Centre Dublin (CCD).

All regions face similar challenges in delivering sustainable transport solutions to meet their current and future mobility requirements. Transport authorities are aware of the real needs specific to their region but often find it difficult to identify detailed information on targeted ITS solutions that would deliver direct and tangible positive outcomes.

Dublin 2013 Congress will primarily focus on ITS solutions that are driven by policy as opposed to being technology-led. The emphasis will be on proven deployed solutions and innovative R&D that is focused on solving real problems and delivering value for money in today’s challenging economic environment.

The 9th ITS European Congress is organised by ERTICO - ITS Europe and the European Commission and will be hosted by ITS Ireland, Dublin City Council and the Ministry of Transport, Tourism and Sport.

The 9th ITS European Congress is on the official list of events of the Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

20th International Symposium on Transportation and Traffic Theory

Mon, 12 Sep 2011 11:44:41 +0200

Where: Noordwijk, The Netherlands

When: 17-19 July 2013

The 20th International Symposium on Transportation and Traffic Theory (ISTTT) will be held at the Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin, Noordwijk, The Netherlands from July 17 to July 19, 2013. The 20th Symposium will be organized by Delft University of Technology.
The ISTTT series is the premier gathering for the world's leading transportation and traffic theorists, and for those who are interested in contributing to or gaining a deeper understanding of the field.

The symposium covers all scientific aspects of transportation and traffic, spanning all modes of transport, including freight, air, and maritime modes, as well as private and public transport.

Topics

Sample topics welcomed by the symposium include but are not limited to:
Traffic flow theories and their implications
Traffic management and control
Dynamics of transport phenomena, especially when coupled with observation
Intelligent Transport Systems
Travel behavior processes and demand modeling
Vehicular interactions in mixed-mode traffic
Congestion pricing and other policies
Scheduled modes (public transport, air networks): system planning, service design and
operations)
Pedestrian and crowd modeling
Transport safety
Network modelling and dynamics
Routing and scheduling in transportation systems
Freight transport modeling, logistics, and supply chains
Terminal design and operation
Transportation policy

Extended abstract and paper submission

As in past symposia, paper review will be a two-stage process. An extended abstract (around 1000 words) can be submitted electronically to the organizers through the website www.isttt20.orgbetween August 15, 2011 and January 15, 2012 for the first-round review. Since for the ISTTT series the principal criterium is the scientific contribution of the work, we emphasize that the extended abstracts need to provide sufficient (theoretical, mathematical or empirical) evidence to allow the reviewers to assess this contribution.

Please note that the official language for the ISTTT is (UK) English.
Accepted papers will be published both in the symposium book (Elsevier Procedia series) and in Special Issues of the Transportation Research series.
Given the high standards of the ISTTT series, only 36 papers will be selected for podium presentation and publications in the conference proceedings. In addition, around 24 papers will be selected for a poster presentation. These papers will be made available via the symposium website only.

Deadlines

Please find below the most important dates for ISTTT20:

August 1, 2011: Call for papers
January 15, 2012 : Submission of extended abstracts
April 15, 2012: Notification of acceptance or rejection

Connected Car World – IAA 2013

Fri, 08 Mar 2013 16:12:37 +0100

Frankfurt's 2013 auto show, acknowledging the far-reaching changes in the industry, will dedicate a separate hall to the connected car.

The Frankfurt IAA, which will take place from Sept 10 til Sept 22, 2013, is the world’s biggest auto show. It is held every other year.

In 2013, the German Automobile Association (VDA), which organizes the IAA, is dedicating 2,000 square meters to automotive connectivity issues. The “Connected Car World” will have sections for industry visitors and for the general public. It will feature various show formats as well as a broad range of moderated sessions.

13th International Scientific Conference -Transport Systems Telematics

Mon, 04 Feb 2013 10:34:37 +0100

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

The 13th International Scientific Conference "Transport Systems Telematics" TST'13 is scheduled for October 23-26, 2013, with the formal commencement in Katowice and the continuation in Ustron, Poland.

The TST conference has gained distinguished group of participants from across Poland, as well as from abroad. Every year representatives of the ministries and local government, along with major national centers related to transport, many national and foreign research centers and universities are our guests. Approximately a third part of the participants are visitors from abroad.

The conference is divided in a four main thematic sessions: road, rail, maritime and aviation. The extensive program of presentations shall find your interests, because within these sessions the topics covers such issues as intelligent transport systems; monitoring, simulation, security and transport management systems; telematics in logistics, crisis management and rescue; devices used in vehicles and tele-transmission equipment; and many others.

I would like to encourage everyone to participate in the TST'13 conference, not only those who wish to present their achievements, but also people wishing to learn more about the latest trends in the field of intelligent transport systems.

Yours sincerely

Chairman of Scientific-Programme Committee

Prof. Jerzy Mikulski

MT-ITS 2013

Tue, 23 Apr 2013 09:35:08 +0200

2 – 4 DECEMBER, 2013

After the successful meetings in Rome in 2009 and 2011 in Leuven the 3rd International Conference on Models and Technologies for Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) will be held in Dresden in December 2013. The main topic of this meeting will be the intermodal use of ITS in urban traffic.

In public transport vehicle related devices act as sensors for the acquisition and transfer of traffic data, e. g. the positions of busses and trams which are sent to intermodal transport control systems (ITCS) or the communication between vehicles and traffic lights. In private traffic several systems based on vehicle’s on-board units or mobile devices have been tested and in part been put in operation within the last years.

Based on vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication (V2I), an increasing market penetration of cooperative systems will affect traffic management in urban areas and might improve its possibilities. One of the prospective challenges is to combine data and information gathered by infrastructure related systems with the one of cooperative systems. Science has to deal with both, possibilities and challenges, to achieve additional benefit for the future intermodal mobility management.

Beside this main topic, the third edition of MT-ITS calls for papers on models and technologies of ITS for air, rail and long-distance road transport.

The conference language is English.

In order to continue and intensify the exchange of science and regular operation, one day of the conference will be designated to case studies and implementation aspects. On that day, the conference participants might also join the 9th annual meeting of the ViMOS Competence Centre for Operational Traffic Management which will be held in German language at the same location. At this conference people from science, industry, public authorities as well as transport operators meet to discuss implementation and operation aspects of current ITS projects.
