Call for Papers
14th International Workshop on Agents in Traffic and Transportation (ATT 2026) held in conjunction with AAMAS 2026 (https://cyprusconferences.org/aamas2026/)
May 26, 2026

In today’s hyper-connected world, traffic and transportation systems rank among the most complex socio-technical systems. They are distributed, dynamic, and heterogeneous, spanning geographic, organizational, and decision-making boundaries. Their subsystems, ranging from vehicles to infrastructure operators, and mobility platforms, exhibit increasing autonomy and intelligence, while remaining deeply interdependent. Under strong operational, regulatory, and societal constraints, these systems must support real-time decision-making, while ensuring safety, efficiency, equity, resilience, and sustainability under uncertainty. Meeting these competing objectives requires new paradigms for coordination, control, and adaptation at scale.

The availability of large-scale, high-frequency, and multi-modal data from sensors, connected and autonomous vehicles, mobile devices, and digital platforms further increases complexity. This calls for advanced AI techniques enabling scalable reasoning, learning, coordination, and control in dynamic and partially observable environments. Recent advances in multi-agent reinforcement learning, deep learning, foundation and large language models, graph neural networks, digital twins, and hybrid AI are reshaping how intelligent transportation systems are modeled, simulated, and operated. Ensuring robustness, safety, interpretability, fairness, and real-world deployability of such AI-driven systems remains a critical research frontier.

The ATT 2026 workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas and results on how large-scale traffic and transportation systems can be modeled, simulated, controlled, and managed at both micro and macro levels, using autonomous agents and multiagent systems. The workshop welcomes theoretical, methodological, and applied contributions combining machine learning, optimization, control, simulation, and data-driven AI approaches. In particular, work on deep learning and data-centric approaches to address challenges in traffic and transportation are strongly encouraged.

IMPORTANT DATES (tentative)
Feb 4, 2026: Workshop paper submission due date
Mar 20, 2026: Notification of paper acceptance
Apr 15, 2026: Camera-ready papers due
May 26, 2026: ATT 2026 Workshop

Note: all deadlines are at the end of the day specified, anywhere on Earth (UTC-12).

We intend to allow transfer of papers from the AAMAS main conference track and we are investigating the details of the procedure: dates will be updated accordingly. For conference registration dates please see AAMAS 26 web site (https://cyprusconferences.org/aamas2026/).

Additional details about paper format, paper submission procedure, and proceedings publication will be announced soon.

We intend to pursue a post-workshop publication of extended versions of workshop papers, based on the quality of the submissions, on an ISI-indexed journal special issue.

VENUE AND CONTACT DETAILS
The ATT 2026 workshop will be held within the workshop program of AAMAS 2026. The exact details about the location and schedule will be posted in the website as soon as they will be available.
