CALL FOR PAPERS
================

Artificial Intelligence in Transportation Systems (AITS)
https://epia2020.inesc-id.pt/?page_id=77

A thematic track of the 20th EPIA Conference on Artificial Intelligence
Oeiras, Portugal, September 7–9, 2020
https://epia2020.inesc-id.pt/

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: APRIL 15, 2020


AIM AND SCOPE
=============

The 8th AITS Track at EPIA Conferences aims to promote a debate on current
developments and advancements of AI techniques in a rather practical
perspective. It will gather both the AI community and transportation
practitioners to discuss how cutting-edge AI technologies can be
effectively applied to improve the performance of transportation systems
and mobility in general on a sustainable basis, according to three
important dimensions, namely economic, environmental, and social. This
forum also aims to generate new ideas towards building innovative
applications of AI technologies into smarter, greener and safer
transportation systems, stimulating contributions that emphasise on how
theory and practice are effectively coupled to solve real-life problems in
contemporary transportation, naturally including all sorts of mobility
systems. Indeed, today’s transportation systems are being devised on a more
intelligent basis, and the concept of Intelligent Transportation Systems
(ITS) has become already a reality among us. More recently, ITS have
evolved into the basis giving support to the development of the so-called
Smart Mobility solutions, within the framework of Smart Cities, in which
social issues increase the complexity of transportation systems and bring
about new performance measures such as equity, security, while
sustainability is strongly emphasised. This thematic track on AI in
Transportation Systems is also organised and promoted by the technical
activity subcommittee on Artificial Transportation Systems and Simulation,
a TAC of the IEEE ITS Society.


TOPICS OF INTEREST
==================

The AITS Thematic Track welcomes and encourages contributions reporting on
original research, work under development and experiments of different AI
techniques, such as, supervised/unsupervised learning approaches (e.g.
neural networks for classification problems), biologically inspired
approaches, evolutionary algorithms, knowledge-based and expert systems,
case-based reasoning, fuzzy logics, intelligent agents and multi-agent
systems, support vector regression, data mining and other
pattern-recognition and optimization techniques, as well as concepts such
as ambient intelligence and ubiquitous computing, service-oriented
architectures, and ontology, to address specific issues in contemporary
transportation, which would include (but are not limited to):

• different modes of transport and their interactions (air, road, rail and
water transports);
• intelligent and real-time traffic management and control;
• design, operation, timetabling and real-time control of logistics systems
and freight transport;
• transport policy, planning, design and management;
• environmental issues, road pricing, security and safety;
• transport systems operation;
• application and management of new technologies in transport;
• travel demand analysis, prediction and transport marketing;
• advanced traveller information systems and services;
• ubiquitous transport technologies and ambient intelligence;
• pedestrian and crowd simulation and analysis;
• urban planning toward sustainable mobility;
• service oriented architectures for vehicle-to-vehicle and
vehicle-to-infrastructure communications;
• assessment and evaluation of intelligent transportation technologies;
• human factors in intelligent vehicles;
• autonomous driving;
• artificial transportation systems and simulation;
• serious games and gamification in transportation;
• behaviour modelling and social simulation of transportation systems;
• electric mobility and its relationship with smart grids and the
electricity market;
• computer vision in autonomous driving;
• surveillance and monitoring systems for transportation and pedestrians;
• data-driven preventive maintenance policies;
• anomalous trajectory mining and fraud detection;
• smart architectures for vehicle-to-vehicle/vehicle-to-infrastructure
communications;
• automatic assessment and/or evaluation on the transport reliability
(planning, control and other related policies);
• intelligent transportation infrastructure management and maintenance;
• legal and ethical issues in intelligent transportation systems and smart
mobility.


PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
=============================

Submissions must follow the guidelines specified on the EPIA 2020
Conference Website (https://epia2020.inesc-id.pt/).

All accepted papers will be published by Springer in a volume of Springer’s
Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) corresponding to the
proceedings of the 20th EPIA Conference on Artificial Intelligence, EPIA
2020.

Submissions must be original and not published elsewhere. Papers should not
exceed twelve (12) pages for full papers or six (6) pages for short papers
and must adhere to the formatting instructions of the conference. Each
submission will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the Program
Committee. The reviewing process is double blind, so authors should remove
names and affiliations from the submitted papers and must take reasonable
care to assure anonymity during the review process. References to own work
may be included in the paper, as long as referred to in the third person.
Acceptance will be based on the paper’s significance, technical quality,
clarity, relevance and originality. All accepted papers must be presented
orally at the conference by one of the authors and at least one author of
each accepted paper must register for the conference.

Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their
proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of
their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their
papers. In addition, if the paper is accepted, the corresponding author of
each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must
complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author
signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on
the paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to
the authorship of the papers cannot be made.

All papers should be submitted in PDF format through the EPIA 2020
EasyChair submission page:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=epia2020
