Conference Theme: “Intelligent Transportation for Smarter Societies”

NEW deadline!
Paper Submission: June 13, 2016


AIM & SCOPE
-----------

The IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference is the annual 
flagship conference of the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems 
Society. IEEE ITSC 2016 welcomes articles in the field of Intelligent 
Transportation Systems, dealing with new developments in theory, 
analytical and numerical simulation and modeling, experimentation, 
demonstration, advanced deployment and case studies, results of 
laboratory or field operational tests.

With much buzz around the concept of smart mobility and considering the 
importance of transportation to human development and well-being, ITSC 
2016 especially invites and encourages prospective authors to share 
their work, findings, perspectives and developments under the general 
theme of “Intelligent Transportation for Smarter Societies.”

IEEE ITSC 2016 is organized by Faculdade de Engenharia, Universidade do 
Porto (FEUP), Portugal, and Instituto de Ciências Matemáticas e de 
Computação, Universidade de São Paulo (ICMC/USP), Brazil.
