Call For Papers

The Transportation Engineering Unit of ATINER is organizing a Stream on “Simulation”, 4-7 June 2018, Athens, Greece as part of the 4th Annual International Conference on Transportation, sponsored by the Athens Journal of Τechnology & Engineering.

Microsimulation has been proven to be an effective and viable tool for assessing and enhancing traffic operations on roads and streets. There are numerous software available on the market that enabled traffic engineers and transportation planners to conduct evaluations of current and future designs of traffic enhancements. A new and evolving dimension for discrete event simulation is human centered simulation. This is done through utilizing driving simulators to mimic the real world in controlled settings. Advancements in this discipline has been phenomenal especially in the last decade. The affordability of installing sensors on facilities have created the luxury of collecting large data related to the system performance. The use of discrete event simulation software coupled with driving simulators and real time field data have added a new dimension to not only traffic operations but also road safety. This session covers recent research in using simulation to enhance the safety and operations of roads and streets. You may participate as presenter of one paper, chair or/and organizer of a session, or observer.

Fee structure information is available on www.atiner.gr/2018fees.

Special arrangements will be made with a local hotel for a limited number of rooms at a special conference rate. In addition, a number of special events will be organized: A pragmatic symposium (as organized in Ancient Athens but fine tuned to synchronous ethics), a special one-day educational island tour, a Mycanae and island of Poros visit, an Athens educational walking tour, an one-day visit to Delphi and an ancient Corinth and Cape Sounion visit.
