Only One Month Left to Submit Your Special Interest Session Proposals and Scientific and Technical Papers for the 2014 ITS World Congress
The 21st World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems & ITS America Annual Meeting will be held Sept. 7-11, 2014 in Detroit, Michigan. If you have undertaken research on an advanced topic in Intelligent Transportation Systems, the World Congress International Program Committee encourages you to submit your findings in the form of a paper or proposal for a Special Interest Session.
The deadline for submissions is January 15, 2014, leaving you with just over a month to get your suggestions in. Approved submissions will be presented at the ITS World Congress in Detroit and automatically be considered for publication in one of three noted ITS journals, namely: The Journal of Intelligent Transportation Systems, IET Intelligent Transport Systems, or the International Journal of Intelligent Transportation Systems.
