Artificial Intelligence in Transportation Systems (AITS)
https://epia2024.pt/

Thematic Track of the 23rd EPIA Conference on Artificial Intelligence (EPIA 2024)
Viana do Castelo, Portugal
September 3-6, 2024

***************************************
Submission deadline: May 20, 2024
***************************************

The 2024 AITS Thematic Track at EPIA aims to promote a debate on current developments and advancements in AI techniques from 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 how theory and practice are effectively coupled to solve real-life problems in contemporary transportation, naturally including all sorts of mobility systems. Indeed, contemporary transportation is evolving rapidly on a more intelligent basis, and the concept of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs) has become already a reality among us, supporting the infrastructure leading to the emergence of the so-called Smart Mobility, and a whole bunch of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) solutions as we witness today. Also, when placed within the framework of Smart Cities, ITS increases in complexity and brings about new performance measures such as equity and social impact, privacy and security, ethical and legal compliance, and explainable decision-support, while environmental sustainability is strongly emphasised.

Therefore, this proposed track is within the application-oriented, integrative, and multi-disciplinary perspectives of the EPIA Conference series. It is intended to leverage the cross-fertilisation synergetic relationship between AI and ITSs. As a matter of fact, as in most fields of Science, advancements in theory are also inspired by problems identified by practitioners in their field of expertise. That is also true in AI! As in many multidisciplinary knowledge areas, many advances in AI are fostered through challenges found by scientists when applying theory to solve practical problems. The AITS Track series at EPIA has also served as a networking platform to discuss current developments and advances in AI, as well as how such findings might be practically applied to this challenging and inspiring domain.

This thematic track on AI in Transportation Systems is also organised and promoted by the technical activity subcommittee on Artificial Transportation Systems and Simulation (ATSS) of the IEEE ITS Society.

***********************************
Submission and Reviewing
***********************************

- All papers should be submitted in PDF format through the EPIA 2024 EasyChair submission page https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=epia2024
- Prospective authors should select the thematic track to which their paper is to be submitted.
The papers should be prepared according to the Springer LNCS format, with a maximum of 12 pages.
- Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process and will be peer-reviewed by at least three members of the respective track Program Committee. It is the responsibility of the authors to remove names and affiliations from the submitted papers and to take reasonable care to assure anonymity during the review process.
- Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or Word, to prepare their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, 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.

***************************************
Proceedings and Presentations
***************************************

- Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings (as in previous editions, the publication of a volume of Springer's LNAI-Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence is expected), as long as at least one author is registered in EPIA 2024 by the deadline advance registration.
- EPIA 2024 proceedings are indexed in Thomson Reuters ISI Web of Science, Scopus, DBLP and Google Scholar.
- Each accepted paper must be presented by one of the authors in a track session.

***************************************
Awards
***************************************
The conference will grant the following awards:
* Best Paper Award, for the best research paper presented at the conference
* Best Application Paper, for the best application paper presented at the conference
* Best Student Paper Award, for the best research paper presented at the conference where the first author is a student (to confirm)

Important: only papers that have been submitted to a thematic track and presented at the conference will be eligible for these awards.
