17th IEEE/ACM DS-RT 2013

Special Session on Simulation and Real Time Applications for Road Traffic Management


Information

This special session is organized by The Performance Engineering Laboratory (PEL), UCD, Dublin.

Submission Deadline: June 15th, 2013
Notification Date: July 20th, 2013


Session Chair

Goals of the Session

This special session focuses on simulation tools and real time applications in relation to road traffic management and prediction for smart cities, from both the decision maker perspective as well as the end user point of view. Loads of data (e.g. real-time traffic information) and new facilities (e.g. communication devices) are available out there and force engineering companies, road authorities, and communications experts to redesign their solutions. We aim at bringing together industrial experts and researchers from academia to present their results and discuss the challenges related to real time traffic management and simulation for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS).

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
  • Distributed Traffic Simulation
  • Real-Time Data Aggregation and Communication
  • Data Collection in Road Networks
  • Real Time Traffic Prediction Algorithms
