AmITR 2015 - Workshop on Ambient Intelligence for Transport (AmITR)

Workshop Goals: Mobility is a need and a right of individuals, therefore transport activity directly affects the quality of life of citizens. Transport services, such as guidance systems, payment systems, security system for transit infrastructures, or information systems for travelers, have been enhanced using the new technologies of information and communications, especially by digital networks, mobile technology and sensor technologies. Using sensing capabilities (e.g. geo-referencing, on-board event detection or capture of audio/video), mobile communications infrastructures and distributed information processing, it is possible to develop ambient intelligence in transit areas (vehicles, stations, bus stops, etc) to provide information services adapted to the necessities or preferences of the travelers (guidance services for private or public transport, intelligent payment systems) or to provide information for improving the quality, security and safety of the transport services (time table fulfillment, vehicle velocity, transit travelers in different points of the transport network, traffic density, pollution level in metropolitan areas). Thus, transport activity becomes more attractive for citizens and improves their quality of life. This workshop provides a discussion space, in which researchers, students, technology experts and practitioners can contribute to the design, assessment, development, and deployment of ambient intelligent solutions applied to the transport domain. The workshop will act as a forum to validate recent results and on-going research, particularly addressed by young researchers.
