Welcome

The International Conference ITS2023: Intelligent Systems and Consciousness Society is organized by the University of Patras, Department of Civil Engineering, in cooperation with ITS Hellas, under the auspices of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport of Greece and under the auspices of the Region of Western Greece, and with the support of Hellenic Institute of Transportation Engineers and of TSS-Transport Simulation Systems: Aimsun & Aimsun Online, during 2-3 November 2023, in the Conference and Cultural Center of the University of Patras, Greece.

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

Connected (C-ITS) and Conscious Connected Intelligent Transportation Systems (CC-ΙTS) are key elements in the roadmap toward vehicle autonomy and the empowerment of the mobile citizen in decision-making. This is founded in adaptive holistic understanding and the optimal interpretation of values and situations involving people, objects, and vehicles for drastically improved mobility and safety.

Implementation of ITS in Consciousness Society will have to address challenges in the application of CC-ITS in data management (big data and ΙοΤ), cybersecurity (data privacy/cyber security and blockchain), intermodal mobility (intermodality), safety and security, communications (5G+), intelligent information, intelligent management, and environmental impacts.

Within the framework of Consciousness Society, the Conference is an opportunity for industry, public organizations, local government and authorities, universities, researchers, consultants, constructors, and freelancers to exchange views on arising problems and solutions.
