ISEP 2006

14th International Symposium on Electronics in Transport

INTELLIGENT TRANSPORT SYSTEMS - ITS
ON A HUMAN SCALE



April 6 and 7, 2006, Ljubljana
Gospodarsko razstavišče

ON THE OCCASION OF THE INTERNATIONAL FAIR AND EDUCATIONAL EVENT »HEVREKA'06 – A MEETING POINT OF NEW TECHNOSERVICES«, THE ELECTROTECHNICAL SOCIETY OF SLOVENIA WILL ORGANIZE THE 14th INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ELECTRONICS IN TRANSPORT - ISEP. THE UNDERLYING THEME OF THE SYMPOSIUM WILL BE FOR THE THIRD TIME »INTELLIGENT TRANSPORT SYSTEMS - ITS«. THIS THEME BELONGS TO THE CURRENT TOPICS OF PARTICULAR IMPORTANCE ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF CONSTANTLY GROWING TRAFFIC AND THE DEMANDS FOR SAFER, MORE RELIABLE, MORE EFFICIENT AND COMFORTABLE TRANSPORT.

The European Commission's objective is to refocus Europe's transport policy on the demands and needs of its citizens. In adopting the White Paper »European Transport Policy for 2010« the European Commission is proposing the plan of activities needed for the development of transport in Europe, ensuring efficient, high quality and safe service. Intelligent Transport Systems - ITS have a special role here, and thus they offer an excellent support at planning, control, managing, and ensuring transport services in road, railway, air and sea transportation.
Integrating the currently available and emerging information, computer, communications and vehicle-sensing technologies into the transport infrastructure and vehicles these technologies helps monitoring and managing traffic flows, reduces congestion and pollutant emissions, enhances safety, security, productivity, mobility, and saves lives, time and money.
At the symposium we wish to emphasize the discussion of the following topics:
interoperable and intermodal transportation systems, traffic monitoring and management and intelligent traffic control systems, in-vehicle technologies, such as traveler information, route guidance, positioning, speed control, safety and security enhancement systems, electronic payment system and fee collection, communication to, from and between vehicles, influence of advanced technology on transport infrastructure and transport, incident management systems with quick and efficient response to accidents, and pollutant emissions, public transport applications.
