CONTENT AND SCOPE 

The organizers envision presentations and exhibits of research and technology 
in four main areas: sustainable transport solutions, advanced systems for 
transport operations, and transportation modeling and simulation, Intelligent 
Transport Systems. Emphasis is on the science, engineering, and technology 
of transportation and automotive systems. In a similar fashion as in Athens 
2004 and Prague 2007, real world solutions to real world problems with real 
world examples are emphasized. In this premier industry and academia 
international event, to match a unique period of change in India, we aim at 
practical information and hands-on experiences that solve transportation 
challenges. 

TRANSTEC is designed for building relationships among developers and 
providers of products and services. We attract audience that includes private 
entrepreneurs, government officials, and academics to exchange ideas and 
build cross-national collaborations. 

CONFERENCE PRESENTATIONS 
Papers addressing theory, methodology or analysis, and demonstrations on the 
above mentioned topics will be considered. 

Abstracts for presentation can be submitted at any time until 1st February 
2010. Presentations will be selected based on topic relevance and early 
submission. After the initial selection of abstracts, a full paper is expected by 
15th February, 2010, if authors wish to publish their papers in conference 
proceedings or peer reviewed journals. 

All papers received will be published in the conference proceedings to be 
distributed at the conference. A small number of papers will be peer-reviewed 
by a technical steering committee to be published in a selection of refereed 
journals. To give the highest number of participants the possibility of 
presenting a paper, the organizers reserve the 
right to select one out of multiple submissions from the same person. 

TRANSTEC includes two types of delivery of papers: session presentations and 
poster presentations. Session presentations are in sessions of 4-5 papers with 
each paper taking 15 minutes for the presentation and a few minutes for 
questions. Poster presentations are interactive sessions during which each 
author has about 5 minutes to highlight the poster and then 1.5 hours to 
discuss details with a smaller audience around the poster. Proposals for poster 
presentations undergo the same selection procedure and criteria as session 
presentations. Please indicate if your abstract is for a poster or a session 
presentation.
