Announcement

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have the promise of improving
mobility, safety, and security, while ensuring energy efficiency and
reducing environmental impacts of transportation systems. In ITS,
these seemingly conflicting objectives are accomplished through
advanced research and development and implementation of
state-of-the-art communications, controls, automation, and information
technologies in transportation systems.

The 14th IEEE ITS Conference theme is Safe, Secure, and Sustainable
transportation, which ensures saving energy and the environment. IEEE
ITSC 2011 brings together researchers, engineers, practitioners,
managers, and policy makers from academia, industry, and government to
share and discuss the latest in ITS R&D results and implementation
strategies. This conference specially includes dedicated sessions at
which Government experts and decision makers will share the latest R&D
and implementation needs of Intelligent Transportation Systems.

Original and innovative contributions in ITS research and advanced
implementations and deployments are sought for technical
sessions. Articles conveying new developments in theory, analytical
and numerical simulation and modeling, experimentation, advanced
deployment and case studies, results of laboratory or field
operational tests, and other related creative endeavors as well as
special educational development for ITS curriculum are sought. The
conference theme is Safe, Secure, and Sustainable transportation,
which ensures saving energy and the environment. The technical areas
include but are not limited to the following:

    * Traffic theory, modelling, simulation
    * Intelligent algorithms
    * Sensors and actuators
    * Vision systems and processing
    * Safety Systems
    * Security Systems
    * Evacuation Systems
    * Traffic and Communications Networks
    * Traffic Control Systems
    * V2V and V2I Communications
    * Technologies for ITS User services: ATMS, ATIS, AVCS, etc.

	

    * Intelligent Vehicles
    * Driver Assistance
    * Vehicle Collision Avoidance
    * Integrated Safety Systems
    * Commercial Vehicle Operations
    * Multi-modal ITS
    * ITS Implementation
    * Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety and Mobility systems
    * ITS for Special Needs
    * Emergency Services 

The final version of the accepted papers will appear on the Conference CD, (only) after at least one author's official registration.

At the heart of the nation's capital on the campus of The George
Washington Univeristy, this IEEE Conference provides an ideal setting
for exchange of ideas between academic/industry researchers and
Government decision makers.  Washington DC offers numerous technical
and site seeing opportunities to conference participants. Home to some
of the world's best museums, finest dinning and shopping, spectacular
parks, and historic buildings in a beautiful metropolitan environment,
Washington DC has something to offer to every visitor.

Technical and Special Tours

Special technical tours will be arranged to visit various government
Laboratories such as the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
Laboratories at Turner Fairbank Highway Research Center, McLean, VA,
and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), among
others.  A variety of Special Tours can be accessed via commercial
venues. Most capital area attractions are either within walking
distance or a short Metro (subway) ride.

Who Should Attend

Those in ITS research, development, design, deployment, planning, and
decision making who are in academic institutions, transportation
industry, automotive manufacturers and suppliers, government, local
transport authorities, national labs, international organizations,
public transport authorities, freight and transport operators, public
transport operators, service providers, telecom operators, system
integrators, commercial fleet owners, road operators, and motoring
organizations and all others who are in the energy and environment
sector with an interest in transportation systems will benefit by
attending this unique conference.
