EAI INTSYS 2021 will be held as a fully-fledged online conference (with an on-site possibility).
If the local situation allows it, the event will take place on-site in its original location with an option for all authors to present remotely.
In any case, all matters related to publication and indexing will remain unchanged.

Scope

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are vital to increasing efficiency, safety, mobility, and tackle Europe’s growing emissions and congestion problems. ITS can make transport safer, more efficient, and more sustainable by applying information and communication technologies to all transportation modes. Moreover, the integration of existing technologies can create new services.

The full potential of ITS can only be achieved if deployed worldwide. Research has a major role to play in developing and deploying key ITS technologies and contributing to standardization, interoperability between transport modes and countries, and cross-border continuity of services.

On the other hand, deployment of Intelligent Transport Systems also faces some barriers, some of which are technological. Deployment costs, funding restrictions that prevent investment facilitation, investments, privacy and liability concerns, uncertain demand, and lack of legislation have limited the roll-out of ITS implementation in several situations.

Limited communication or too ‘technical’ communication on the benefits of new technologies to those who make decisions about whether to invest in new technology development (policy makers), can also be an obstacle for faster deployment of ITS. Policy makers need a clear description of the benefits of new technologies including cost-benefit analyses that would enable them to compare traditional solutions with the new ones.

Lack of or limited cooperation between research and industrial sectors is another aspect that is slowing down the uptake of research results by the market. It is not often that research results are likely to be developed in the short- or even medium-term, but this is not always understood by the industry that wants to obtain quick results from their investments in ITS.

The objective of the conference is threefold:

1. to enable researchers in ITS to share their achievements and findings in different areas of Intelligent Transport Systems and logistics;

2. to bring together the relevant ITS stakeholders;

3. raise collaboration among different research fields.
