Smart Mobility & Transportation 5.0

Support the transition towards an equitable and resilient cyber-physical smart environment for moving people and goods.

• Deliver interdisciplinary knowledge to support cyber-physical infrastructure and systems for smart mobility.
• Identify and collaborate with research and professional organizations and international communities sharing similar vision and goals for knowledge exchange, consensus building and development of novel research pathways.
• Strengthen the liaison with industry to improve data and knowledge sharing and accelerate the deployment of advanced smart mobility research products.
• Disseminate knowledge through organizing activities in IEEE ITSS venues.

This Technical Committee is organized in 4 tracks:

• Actionable and Trustworthy AI applications
• network operations, transport economics and modeling
• mobility and energy interdependencies,
• smart systems, connectivity and automation, human factors

Activities during conferences

• Special sessions organization on the following indicative thematic areas:
• Data sharing schemes, opportunities, challenges and limitations for smart mobility
• Tools and Algorithms for shared connected and autonomous mobility (waterborne, rail, road and cross-modal)
• Efficient and trustworthy multimodal predictive network and traffic management
• Electrified, shared, smart mobility sessions tackling emerging mobility challenges with autonomy
• Scalability of algorithms for operating electric fleets
• Benchmarking machine learning algorithms for transportation problems
• Actionability and trustworthy AI tools for data-based mobility and transportation 5.0

The most successful special sessions can lead to special Issue organization on selected topics in:

• ΙΕΕΕ Transactions οn Intelligent Transport Systems
• Intelligent Transportation Systems Magazine
• IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Vehicles

Competitions

• Yearly Data competitions with prize on themes related to smart cities and smart mobility. Results to be presented to ITSC and IV conferences. Code and associated material to be open access.
• Idea competition (such as the TRAVISIONS ) with prize where teams can showcase novel ideas during IEEE conferences.

Industry Meets Academia

• Webinar Series on the following subjects:
  • Transportation and Artificial Intelligence: Bridging the expectations and reality/usability of advanced modeling and decision-making tools
• Establish links and joint activities with:
  • TRB Committees (for example Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Computing Applications- AED50, Network Modeling committee at TRB – AEP40)
  • Identify societies, industry, research, software and consulting companies who can provide feedback on what opportunities for collaboration exist between industry and academia.
• Organise workshop in IEEE ITSS flagship events between traffic managers and research groups, so as to align research and needs.

Activity Report

• Significant contribution of the TC Members to the organization of the IEEE ITS Conference in Bilbao, Spain.
• The TC supports the organization of the TRANSFOR 24 Data competition organized by AED50 Committee.
