The second workshop on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) will be held in conjunction with COMSNETS 2016. 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:
- Traffic theory for ITS
- Modelling, control and simulation
- Emissions, noise, environment
- Multi-modal and public transportation management
- Economic considerations
- Human factors and human behaviour
- Dynamic characterizations and emergent phenomena
- Emergencies and accidents: phenomena, management and mitigation
- Big data and ITS
- 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 - https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=21482.
Note:
- The paper formatting and submission instructions are the same as for the main conference.
- All Workshop papers (full papers - both regular and invited) WILL appear in IEEE Xplore.

Title and Abstract of Talks
Abstract:
In this talk, I present a family of optimization methods that enable the use of high-resolution stochastic urban traffic simulators for optimization. These methods are known as simulation-based optimization algorithms. We present algorithms for large-scale dynamic problems, as well as ongoing work for real-time problems. We use these algorithms to address urban traffic management problems, and present the results of collaborations with various transportation agencies.
Abstract:
The fraction of automated vehicles is negligibly small in current ground traffic. Anticipating the development of intelligent vehicle technologies, this fraction is estimated to increase in the coming decades, culminating, if ever, in a fully automated transportation system. Motivated by this we investigate the problem of provable safety for mixed transportation systems featuring both automated vehicles (AVs) as well as human-driven vehicles (HVs). The contribution of our work, is in showing how to integrate the two different types of vehicle models safely into a mixed system. We take into account the differences in the capabilities between AVs and HVs in five aspects and design motion planning policies and coordination rules that result in a provably safe system. We also allow AVs to engage in platooning to increase traffic throughput. We prove system-wide safety of the proposed design.
