7. Special Session of the 13th International IEEE Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems

Non-recurrent events, such as large incidents, exceptional weather conditions, or hazards, often have a huge impacts on network traffic flow conditions. In particular in these situations, there is a strong need for managing both the travel demand and the network traffic flows.

This special session is hosting contributions that focus on novel theoretical approaches or practical applications of travel and traffic management for exceptional situations, such as emergencies. Any contribution presenting new models, methods or approaches that are related to the management of network-wide impacts of exceptional events are welcome. In particular, contributions focussing on the following topics are of particular interest to the special session:

(1) Optimization of evacuation strategies;
(2) Real-time prediction of network flow conditions for rare events;
(3) Control methods for incident and emergency management;
(4) Decision support systems;
(5) Impacts of traffic management in case of incidents and emergencies;
(6) Integrated mobility and traffic management approaches.
