ITS for larger Cities

The global population is growing exponentially. Already more than half is living in larger cities, metropolitan regions and megacities.

On the one hand, well functioning transportation systems are vital to ensure a high quality of individual mobility as well as to provide an efficient backbone for the regional economy. On the other hand, the increasing transport negatively effects the environment, the ecology, as well as the economy.

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) have evolved to offer a wide range of options to cope with these challenges and to provide environmentally sustainable mobility in larger cities.

The conference aims to progress transport research
and its application by:

- state of the art reviews
- latest scientific achievements
- technological innovations
- exemplary solutions

The conference will be organized in plenary as well as parallel sessions covering the following areas:

- traffic state estimation and transport modeling
- traffic management and control
- cooperative systems based on car2x
- public transport solutions
- transportation demand management

all with a clear focus on larger cities and agglomerations.
