<br>
CALL FOR PAPERS : ANT-2019(MSTS) and ABMTRANS-2019<br>
<br>
The ANT-2019 conference dedicates the MSTS track to Modeling and Simulation in Transportation Sciences while the ABMTRANS-2019 workshop focuses on the agent-based approach in that domain. Both provide an international forum on the latest technologies and research
in the field of traffic and transportation modeling. Both are organized by the Transportation Research Institute (IMOB), Hasselt University, Belgium.<br>
<br>
SCOPE<br>
<br>
The aim of the ANT-2019 MSTS track is to bring together communities interested in the computation, knowledge discovery and technology policy aspects of transportation systems. The organizers of ANT-2019 (MSTS track) welcome information technology application
papers from researchers in the domains of transportation sciences and engineering, computer science, urban and regional planning, civil engineering, geography, geo-informatics and related disciplines to submit papers for consideration for presentation and
for publication in the conference proceedings.<br>
<br>
The ABMTRANS workshop provides a multidisciplinary collaborative forum for researchers and practitioners to submit papers presenting new research results and novel ideas related to the theory or the practice of agent-based traffic and transportation modeling.
This workshop also invites researchers to submit their work focusing on the data mining, (activity-based) demand prediction, management and configuration for agent-based traffic and transportation modeling.<br>
<br>
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):<br>
<br>
Agent-based transportation modeling and simulation<br>
Agent-based negotiation of QoS and SLAs in traffic and transportation models<br>
Agent-based and activity-based scheduling to establish synthetic agenda for day-to-day activities (travel demand prediction)<br>
Calibration and validation of (agent-based) models for traffic and transportation<br>
Collaboration, cooperation, competition, coalitions in traffic and transportation models, including collaborative multi-modal transport<br>
Conceptual modeling of agent-based approach<br>
Data mining and statistical learning for travel information<br>
Environment modeling and interaction protocols<br>
Human-computer interfaces in intelligent transportation applications<br>
Human factors including adaptive driving, travel behavior, pervasive technology<br>
Large scale simulation of agent-based microscopic traffic models<br>
Logistics and transportation management<br>
Marketing decision support<br>
Mathematical optimization in traffic engineering and smart city topic<br>
Multi-modal routing of agents in a dynamic traffic environment<br>
Novel applications targeted to health, mobility, livable environment and sustainability<br>
Renewable energy sources in transportation<br>
Role of multi-agent methodologies for complex systems<br>
Simulation of traffic, passenger flows, assisted driving or collaborative transport<br>
Social and emergent behavior in MAS-T (multi-agent systems applied to traffic and transport)<br>
Social and institutional information related to travel<br>
Traffic flow and transportation modeling<br>
Travel information, including recommender systems and user feedback systems<br>
Uncertain information in collaborative transport and assisted traveling<br>
<br>
