------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope:
======
The rapid growth of the number of cars on the roads has created a plethora of challenges for road traffic management authorities such as, traffic congestion, increasing number of accidents, air pollution, etc. Over the last years, researchers from both industry and academia were focusing their efforts on exploiting the advances in sensing and communication technologies to make the existing road traffic management systems more efficient. Their main goal is to improve the traveler's safety, shorten the travel time and reduce the environmental impact.
Road traffic management for smart cities involves monitoring the actual traffic situation in real-time (including volumes, speeds, incidents, etc.) and then controlling or influencing the flow using that information in order to reduce traffic congestion, deal efficiently with incidents and provide accurate and reliable traffic information and prediction to both drivers and authorities.
This workshop aims at bringing together researchers, scientists and engineers from various research communities, as well as practitioners and administrators who face the challenges of traffic management in smart cities. They are all welcome to present their latest research findings, ideas, simulation tools and applications at the 2012 VTM workshop.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Vehicular traffic management
• V2V and V2I protocols for smart cities
• Data collection techniques in urban environment
• Data acquisition for traffic management (techniques, algorithms, data types, etc.)
• Data integration in traffic management systems (semantics, interoperability, linked data, etc.)
• Traffic data maintenance (privacy, provenance, security, etc.)
• Distributed simulations for large scale urban environments
• Vehicular routing protocols and road traffic prediction mechanisms
• Wireless Sensor Networks, Wireless mesh Networks and VANETs applications for traffic management in smart cities
• Mobility and vehicular traffic measurement, modeling, and simulation
• Security and QoS issues for ITS applications
• V2X feasibility over LTE Networks
• M2M communication for data collection in road environment
• Mobile applications for intelligent traffic management
• Vehicular Sensor Networks (VSNs) applications for road traffic management
• Decision making tools for road traffic management
