UMITS 2016 - International Workshop on Urban Mobility & Intelligent Transportation Systems Towards the Operationalization of ITS

UMITS 2016 provides a venue for discussing the latest scientific results and
practical case studies on Intelligent Transportation Systems
(ITS) and Vehicular Communications. The workshop is directed at both
academic researchers and practicing engineers. In this edition we focus
on planning and managing ITS and how to move the technology from the
laboratories to the cities. The topics of interest have been carefully
selected to provide a comprehensive overview of the most significant
issues related to Planning & Managing ITS. Thorough comprehension of urban
mobility enables the development of more realistic and sophisticated models
for ITS. More sophisticated ITS models enable the development of better
strategies for Planning & Managing ITS, which may allow new insights into
the application of novel technologies such as Internet of Things, Clouds,
Software Defined Networks, Big Data, and Social Networking.
UMITS 2016 has a high quality Technical Program Committee (TPC) composed of
ITS leading researchers from 51 institutions in 23 countries.
