37th ATHENS International Congress on Transportation & Architectural Engineering (ICTAE-26) scheduled on June 3-5, 2026 Athens (Greece) is for the engineers, practitioners, scientists, researchers, scholars, and students from all around the world and it also includes the industry people to present ongoing research activities, and hence to foster research relations between Academia and industry. The conference is sponsored by Eminent Association of Pioneers (EAP) under Pilares DÉlegancia LDA. This conference provides opportunities for the delegates to share new ideas and application experiences face to face, to establish business or research relations and to find global partners for future collaboration. All the submitted conference papers will be peer reviewed by the program/technical committees of the Conference.

Call for papers/Topics

Topics of interest for submission include any topics related to:

1. Transportation Engineering

This field involves the planning, design, operation, and management of facilities for any mode of transportation.

Highway & Roadway Engineering

• Geometric Design: Alignment, sight distance, and intersection layout.

• Pavement Design: Flexible vs. rigid pavements and material science.

• Traffic Engineering: Flow theory, signal timing, and capacity analysis.

• Safety Engineering: Crash data analysis and roadside safety features.

Railway & Public Transit Systems

• Track Alignment: High-speed rail vs. light rail geometry.

• Signaling and Control: Automated train control and safety protocols.

• Transit Planning: Network optimization and multimodal integration.

• Station Design: Pedestrian flow and platform safety.

Airport & Aviation Engineering

• Airfield Design: Runway orientation, taxiway layouts, and apron design.

• Pavement Loading: Handling heavy aircraft wheel loads.

• Terminal Planning: Gate capacity and passenger processing.

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)

• Smart Infrastructure: V2I (Vehicle-to-Infrastructure) communication.

• Autonomous Vehicles: Integration of self-driving tech into city grids.

• Traffic Monitoring: Remote sensing, GPS data, and real-time management.

2. Architectural Engineering

This field focuses on the technical aspects of building design, ensuring structures are safe, sustainable, and functional.

Structural Systems

• Load Analysis: Static, dynamic, wind, and seismic (earthquake) loads.

• Material Mechanics: Steel, reinforced concrete, timber, and masonry.

• Foundation Engineering: Soil-structure interaction and deep foundations.

Building Mechanical Systems (HVAC)

• Thermal Comfort: Heat transfer and air distribution.

• Indoor Air Quality: Ventilation and filtration systems.

• Energy Efficiency: Passive cooling and geothermal heating.

Electrical & Lighting Systems

• Power Distribution: High-voltage supply and emergency backup systems.

• Illumination Engineering: Daylighting strategies and artificial lighting design.

• Acoustics: Sound isolation and room reverberation control.

Building Envelope & Sustainability

• Façade Engineering: Thermal bridging, moisture control, and glazing.

• Green Building Standards: LEED/BREEAM certification and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).

• Fire Protection: Smoke control and active/passive fire suppression.

3. The Intersection: Integrated Infrastructure

Where these two fields meet, we find complex urban projects that require both structural beauty and logistical efficiency.

• Transit-Oriented Development (TOD): Designing high-density buildings around transport hubs.

• Intermodal Hubs: Designing buildings that serve as airports, train stations, and bus depots simultaneously.

• Bridge & Tunnel Architecture: Combining aesthetic structural design with high-volume traffic needs.

• Urban Micro-mobility: Incorporating bike and scooter storage/lanes into building footprints.

• Building Information Modeling (BIM): Using 3D modeling for the lifecycle management of both buildings and transport assets.
