Special session on Big data and Deep Learning for Intelligent Transportation,
in the 6th International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Systems and Informatics (AISI’20)

Special Session Organizers:

Description:
Deep learning and big data are very dynamic, grooming and important research topics of today’s technology. They are contributing to the progress towards intelligent transportation such as fully autonomous vehicles. Transportation generated massive amount of data collected from multiple sources including road sensors, UAVs, probe, GPS, CCTV and incident reports. The collected data are highly needed to make serious traffic decisions such as rerouting, safe-driving decision, etc. With this rich volume and velocity of data, it is challenging to build reliable prediction models based on traditional relational database and machine learning methods. Recently, big data, deep learning and reinforcement learning are new state-of-the-art data management and machine learning approaches which have been of great interest in both academic research and industrial applications.

Scope and Topics
The aim of this special session is to provide opportunity for international researchers to share recent advances in big data, deep learning and reinforcement learning in intelligent transportation. The special session aims to solicit original, full length original articles on new findings and developments from researchers, academicians and practitioners from industries, in the area of intelligent transportation.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- IoT-driven intelligence and incorporate deep learning models
- Big data and autonomous vehicles
- Deep learning for transportation models
- Reinforcement learning for intelligent transportation
