Workshop on Intelligent Transportation System (ITS)

Workshop Date: Tuesday, January 6, 2015 (Click to view schedule)

Accepted papers have been announced. Click here to see the list.

The first workshop on Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) will be held in conjunction with COMSNETS 2015. This interdisciplinary workshop aims to bring together researchers from various disciplines, and will focus particularly on urban transportation systems. The workshop invites original papers that make contributions to modeling and control of urban transportation networks. 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:

  1. Traffic theory for ITS
  2. Modelling, control and simulation
  3. Emissions, noise, environment
  4. Multi-modal and public transportation management
  5. Economic considerations
  6. Human factors and human behaviour
  7. Dynamic characterizations and emergent phenomena
  8. Emergencies and accidents: phenomena, management and mitigation
  9. Big data and ITS
  10. ITS field tests, deployment and experimentation

Paper submissions

Submitted manuscripts (PDF only) should be at most six (6) pages in standard IEEE two-column format, including figures, tables, and references.

All papers must be electronically submitted via the Intelligent Transportation Systems Workshop submission site on EDAS.

Plenary Speaker


Balaji Prabhakar

Stanford University, USA

http://web.stanford.edu/~balaji/


Balaji Prabhakar is a faculty member in the Departments of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Stanford University. His research interests are in computer networks; notably, in designing algorithms for the Internet and for Data Centers. Recently, he has been interested in Societal Networks: networks vital for society's functioning, such as transportation, electricity and recycling systems. He has been involved in developing and deploying incentive mechanisms to move commuters to off-peak times so that congestion, fuel and pollution costs are reduced.
