The rapid increase in the number of vehicles on the roads as well as the growing size of cities have led to a myriad of challenges for road traffic management authorities such as traffic congestion, accidents and air pollution. Over recent years, researchers from both industry and academia were focusing their efforts on exploiting the advances in sensing and communication technologies to improve the efficiency of the existing road Traffic Management Systems (TMS) and mitigate the above issues. However, these efforts are still insufficient to build a reliable and secure TMS that can handle the foreseeable rise of population and cars in future smart cities.
This special session seeks to bring 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, and discuss the key unresolved challenges in the topics of this special session.
Papers are invited to be submitted in the following areas:
* Vehicular traffic management * Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) protocols for smart cities * Data sensing and gathering techniques in urban environments * Mobile sensing (privacy, trust management and security issues) * Data fusion, processing and integration techniques for TMS * Distributed simulations for large scale urban environments * Route planning protocols and road traffic prediction mechanisms * WSNs, Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) and VANETs applied to TMS 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 smart cities * Mobile applications for intelligent traffic management * Vehicular Sensor Networks (VSNs) applications for road traffic management * Decision making tools for road traffic management * Electric vehicles
