The 15th International Workshop on Computational Transportation Science (IWCTS 2022) is particularly timely given the prominence of human mobility data, such as probe data from cell phones and connected automated vehicles, volunteered geographic information, and other sensing data. This unprecedented access to sensing data of mobility, and of integration of this analytics into smart cities management has led to innovations in intelligent transportation systems, building information management, and urban planning. Due to the scale of these data, these developments are deeply computational.
We will build upon the success of previous workshops to continue to focus on computational approaches for (not limited to):
- Sustainability: Socioeconomic and environmental impact, mitigation strategies (e.g. emission analysis and reduction, decarbonization, alternative fuels, transportation equity, and environmental justice.
- Smart City Operations: Resiliency during extreme weather events (e.g. floods, tornadoes, etc), Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs), Building Information and Energy Modeling (BIM/BEM), electric grid management, decision support, and optimization.
- Infrastructure Sensing: Digital Twin technologies, urban sensing infrastructure, edge computing, Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
- Human Dynamics Analysis: Modeling and simulation of population and freight movements, dynamic routing algorithms, computational traffic flow models and control algorithms, and the role of transportation in the smart city.
We welcome research papers from computer sciences, geosciences, transportation sciences, urban sciences, social sciences and other related sciences which address the above-mentioned focus areas. We will be organizing a panel alongside paper presentations / keynote. We seek to invite eminent people from industry, academia, and laboratories.
Important Deadlines:
- Paper submission due: August 27th, 2022 11:59pm PDT (AoE)
- Notification to the authors: September 24th, 2022
- Camera ready papers due: October 1st, 2022
- IWCTS Workshop: November 1st, 2022
- ACM SIGSPATIAL Conference: November 2nd – November 4th, 2022
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
- Full papers (up to 10 pages): Original, unpublished research papers which belong to the scope of the workshop, i.e. computational transportation science and are not being considered for publication in any other forum.
- Short papers and Position Papers (up to 4 pages): Papers describing the early research results on original work on computational transportation science. Authors must clearly state the ongoing and future work and the relevance of the results presented in the context of the scope of this workshop.
- Demo Papers (up to 4 pages): Describing original systems for demonstration/presentation at the conference.
Papers must be in ACM SIG format (https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template) (US Letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches) including text, figures and references. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM digital library under the condition that at least one author has registered for both the main SIGSPATIAL conference and the workshop, attends the workshop, and presents the accepted paper in the workshop. Otherwise, the accepted paper will not appear in the workshop proceedings or in the ACM Digital Library version of the workshop proceedings.
