These developments are deeply computational. We will build upon the success of previous workshops to continue to focus on computation, knowledge discovery, and technology aspects of transportation systems while welcoming research papers in computer science, transportation science, urban and regional planning, the automotive arena, civil engineering, robotics, geography, geo-informatics, and other related disciplines.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.8px"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.8px">============<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.8px"> Background<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.8px">============<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.8px">In the near future, vehicles, travelers, and the infrastructure will collectively have billions of sensors that can communicate with each other. Transportation systems, due to their distributed/mobile nature, can become the ultimate test-bed for a ubiquitous (i.e., embedded, highly-distributed, and sensor-laden) computing environment of unprecedented scale. This environment will enable numerous novel applications and order of magnitude improvement of the performance of existing applications. Information technology is the foundation for implementing new strategies, particularly if they are to be made available in real-time to wireless devices in vehicles or in the hands of people. Contributing are increasingly more sophisticated geospatial and spatio-temporal information management capabilities. Human factors, technology adoption and use, user feedback and incentives for collaborative behavior are areas of technology policy central to the success of this ubiquitous computing environment.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.8px"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.8px">======================<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.8px"> Scope of Submissions<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.8px">======================<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.8px">The International Workshop on Computational Transportation Science invites submissions of original, previously unpublished papers contributing to Computational Transportation Science.
