Modern transportation systems have been transforming rapidly in recent years. A series of vehicle technology innovations have blossomed in the past couple decades, just to mention a few examples, connected vehicles, self-driving cars, electric vehicles, Hyperloop, and even flying cars, which has imposed fundamental change on transport systems across the world.

These innovations and breakthroughs have motivated researchers on Smart Transportation Systems (ITS) to expand the frontiers of relevant concepts and skillsets, which will affect the transport infrastructure modelling, safety analysis, freeway operations, intersection analysis, and other related leading edge topics.

The KES International hybrid Symposium on Smart Transportation Systems provides an opportunity for researchers, engineers, manager and students to meet, present their work and find out about the latest developments on the subject.

Proceedings
The Full Papers conference proceedings will be published by Springer as book chapters in a volume of the KES Smart Innovation Systems and Technologies series, submitted for indexing in Scopus and Thomson-Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI) and the Web of Science. (The Short Papers and Abstracts conference proceedings will be published online and will not appear in the Springer volume).

Smart Digital Futures
The conference will take place as part of the Smart Digital Futures 2022 multi-theme hybrid conference which groups AMSTA-22, HCIS-22, IDT-22, InMed-22, SEEL-22 and STS-22 in one venue. Recognising the potential for difficulties for some people we have retained an online component (a hybrid conference) but for the full conference experience including rich academic and social interaction we look forward to warmly welcoming you to Rhodes in June 2022.
