Abstract :
With this issue, our IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Magazine celebrates its first anniversary. From the many comments that we have received from the readers, we know that our members appreciate regular information and ITS and society related news as provided in the magazine. As is probably true for any new journal it has been a major effort to set up the submission, reviewing, and publishing process. In the beginning many tasks are hand-made and not everything is perfect from the first day. Nevertheless, in several aspects the start went much better than expected and I feel that after a year it is the time to give credits to some of the individuals who made this possible.
