CTS 2019 - 16th IFAC Symposium on Control in Transportation Systems

The Symposium will provide an interesting opportunity for the academic and industrial communities to investigate new ideas, to share innovative solutions, and to discuss future research directions in the area of control in transportation systems. The main scope of the Symposium refers to the development of automatic control methods and tools for the analysis, supervision and management of transportation systems. The increasing complexity of freight logistic networks, the technological developments in transportation systems, and the necessity of managing all the transportation modes in an efficient, synchronized and integrated way require the continuous development of innovative control approaches in the field. The present and future transportation systems to be controlled present further new challenges for researchers, since they must be designed as smart, safe and sustainable mobility environments.
