Abstract :
The importance of transportation to the world´s economy has been deeply and fundamentally affected by the development of new generation transportation systems. Systems that are largely based on emerging technologies and that integrate transportation and infrastructure are becoming a critical factor for the efficient and safe transportation of people and goods. As such, technical innovation is an essential step toward improving transportation infrastructures and providing for more efficient transportation operations. It is important for transportation planners and engineers to meet the dynamic challenges of growing demand in modern day transportation. The Applications of Advanced Technologies in Transportation (AATT) Conference series has provided, for over two decades, a unique stage for sharing and exchanging research ideas, engineering practice, and creating synergies between research and practice.
