Italy Chapter

The Italian Chapter of the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Society was established in February 2021 with the main goal of strengthening and promoting the development of ITS in the scientific community, industries, and institutions at the national level. Since the very beginning, this community has shown to be very large and active in the area, with a lot of volunteers interested to be part of the group and willing to help in the different organizing activities of the Chapter. Enlarging the number of members and increasing awareness about ITS will contribute concretely to the growth of sustainable mobility and smart transportation systems in our territory.
Since 2021, each year the Chapter organizes the IEEE ITSS Italian Chapter National Event and the IEEE ITSS – Italy Best PhD Dissertation Award.

Chair: Stefania Santini
