    INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

    Intelligent Systems &
    Consciousness Society

    2023

Topics

Thematic

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are founded on state-of-the-art research and technology in transportation, infrastructure and networks and ensure safe, fast and comfortable movement of people and goods in smart cities and communities.

In the evolution towards vehicle autonomy and the empowerment of the mobile citizen, interconnection (Connected ITS, C-ITS) and awareness (Conscious Connected ITS, CC-ITS) in decision-making are essential. The holistic understanding and optimal interpretation of values and situations about people, objects and vehicles is sought for drastically improved transport and road safety.

The challenge mainly concerns the application of CC-ITS in dynamic transport and traffic systems, digital data management (big data & IoT), cyber privacy (blockchain), intermodality, safety & security, communications (5G+), intelligent information and management, and environmental and health impacts.

In addition to the above, contributions are encouraged in:

Computer science applications – a key pillar of CC-ITS based on holistic computational logic for richer cognition. This can be achieved through multidimensional dynamic modelling and forecasting, and augmented spatiotemporal detection, drones and satellites.

Environmental modeling and forecasting contributes to intelligent monitoring, information and decision-making in air quality and environmental incidents. This can increase the reliability of real-time urban climate and mobility prediction.

Psychology and behavioral modeling benefits from smart cities and intelligent transport systems data. Through IoT technologies and intelligent data management, these models increase the potential for safety and security in intermodal travel and urban mobility.

Architecture and urban planning offer foundations for integrating CC-ITS in urban areas, as they help harmonize new infrastructure, as in the design of multi-dimensional mobility corridors, and reconfiguration of public spaces and buildings to share mobility space.

This is a unique opportunity for those who wish to participate with a live presentation. The conference brings together stakeholders including interdisciplinary professionals from civil engineering, electrical & electronics engineering, communications, computer science, architecture, urban planning, informatics, physics & air quality, economics, psychology.

Together we share and explore the potential for expanded cooperation of the above sectors within the society of consciousness. Students, researchers, PhD candidates, engineers, and professionals from the above or related fields are strongly encouraged to submit abstracts on their research and applications in the broader thematic context of intelligent, consciousness-oriented transportation systems.

Partners

The conference will be organized by the University of Patras, Department of Civil Engineering, in cooperation with ITS Hellas, with the support of the Hellenic Institute of Transportation Engineers and Aimsun, under the auspices of the Hellenic Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport.

ORGANIZERS

 

University of Patras

University of Patras

The University of Patras was founded in the city of Patras in 1964 as a self-administered Academic Institution under the supervision of the Greek Government. The University was established primarily with the intention to concentrate on science, technology, economics, business administration and social sciences. Presently, the University of Patras remains one of the best well known Universities in Greece with an excellent reputation amongst the International and European Scientific Community, which justifies the vision and mission for the establishment of the University of Patras.

ITS Hellas

ITS Hellas

ITS Hellas, the “Hellenic Organization of Intelligent Transport Systems”, is a nonprofit organization, founded in 2011. Since then ITS Hellas has been operating as the national platform for Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in Greece, aiming to create the right conditions for the development and promotion of Greek technological solutions achieving maximum efficiency in transport. The ITS Hellas consists of 34 members from the public sector (eg TRAINOSE, OASA, SASTH etc.), the private sector and the academic/research world.

 

WITH THE ACTIVE SUPPORT OF

 

Hellenic Institute of Transportation Engineers

Hellenic Institute of Transportation Engineers

Hellenic Institute of Transportation Engineers was founded in 1976 in Athens, Greece. It currently includes over 600 members, all of them holding a postgraduate degree in transportation and carrying a long experience in the subject matter. The Institute has also acted as Advisor to various public authorities and public corporations and is widely considered as an expert counterpart for supporting decision making, given its impartiality and scientific approach to implementing and solving problems in the transport sector.

AIMSUN

AIMSUN

Aimsun is an international software and services company with a singular focus on solving the world’s most complex mobility problems: modeling the interaction of public and private vehicles, simulating the role of artificial intelligence and machine learning, testing autonomous vehicles, or supporting consumer-facing applications by offering insights into smarter multi-modal transportation choices.

We have two high-performance software applications: Aimsun Next is a fully-integrated modeling platform simulating future traffic patterns by representing individual needs and available transportation options; Aimsun Live is a decision support tool used to predict traffic outcomes by simulating projected conditions based on historical and real-time feeds. Thousands of mobility professionals in over 75 countries use our tools and services to model tomorrow’s smart mobility networks, today.
