AITS 2015 - Thematic Track on Artificial Intelligence in Transportation Systems (AITS@EPIA2015)

The Thematic Track on Artificial Intelligence in Transportation Systems (AITS-AT-EPIA2015) aims to promote an interdisciplinary debate on current developments and advances of AI techniques in a rather practical perspective, focusing on transportation and mobility systems. This Thematic Track follows up the first edition of the AIASTS Workshop, held at EPIA2007, the second edition of the AITUM Thematic Track, held at EPIA2009, the third edition of the AITS Thematic Track, held at EPIA2011, and AITS Track held at EPIA2013. It will serve as a unique platform gathering the AI community, transportation and other social sciences’ practitioners to discuss how cutting-edge AI technologies can be effectively developed and applied to improve transportation performance towards sustainable mobility systems. This forum is an opportunity for the technical and scientific community to present progresses made so far, and as a means to generate new ideas towards building innovative applications of AI technologies into smarter, greener and safer transportation systems, stimulating contributions that emphasize on how theory and practice are effectively coupled to solve real-life problems in contemporary transportation. The EPIA conference has been ranked by the Computing Research & Education initiative as a “CORE B” Conference, whose proceedings are published by Springer in their LNAI Series.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
The AITS Thematic Track welcomes and encourages contributions reporting on original research, work under development and experiments of different AI techniques, such as neural networks, biologically inspired approaches, evolutionary algorithms, knowledge-based and expert systems, case-based reasoning, fuzzy logics, intelligent agents and multi-agent systems, support vector regression, data mining and other pattern-recognition and optimisation techniques, as well as concepts such as ambient intelligence and ubiquitous computing, service-oriented architectures, and ontology, to address specific issues in contemporary transportation, which would include (but are not limited to):
different modes of transport and their interactions
intelligent and real-time traffic management and control;
design, operation, time-tabling and management of logistics systems and freight transport;
transport policy, planning, design and management;
