The 16th International Workshop on Computational Transportation Science (IWCTS 2023) – Smart Mobility track is particularly timely given the prominence of human mobility data, such as probe data from cell phones and connected automated vehicles, volunteered geographic information, and other sensing and simulation data. This unprecedented access to sensing data of mobility, and of integration of this analytics into smart cities and mobility management has led to innovations in intelligent transportation systems, building information management, human dynamics modeling, and urban planning. Due to the scale of these data and simulations, these developments are deeply computational. We will build upon the success of previous workshops to continue to focus on the computational and informatics approaches for (not limited to):
- Smart City Operations: Resiliency during extreme weather events (e.g., floods, tornadoes, etc), Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs), Building Information and Energy Modeling (BIM/BEM), electric grid management, decision support, and optimization.
- Infrastructure Sensing: Digital Twin technologies, urban sensing infrastructure, edge computing, ad-hoc mobile sensing and computing, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and cyber-physical systems.
- Human Dynamics Analysis: Modeling and simulation of population and freight movements, dynamic routing algorithms, computational traffic flow models and control algorithms, and the role of transportation in the smart city.
- Intermodal Transportation System: Simulation and analysis on the transportation and logistics of large-sized cargo in freight containers through two or more modes of transport (e.g., maritime, air, railroads, and highways).
- Cyberinfrastructure: Web-based platforms, software, or smartphone apps developed to facilitate (a) the acquisition, management, and sharing of mobility apps, (b) the sharing and coupling of traffic and mobility simulations, and (c) the delivery of smart mobility services for improving the quality and safety of the transportation system.
We welcome research papers from computer sciences, geosciences, geographic information science, transportation sciences, urban sciences, social sciences and other related sciences which address the above-mentioned focus areas. We will be organizing a panel alongside paper presentations / keynote. We seek to invite eminent people from industry, academia, and laboratories. We are offering IWCTS awards to the presentation and paper with the top quality and impact.

Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
- Full papers (up to 10 pages): Original, unpublished research papers which belong to the scope of the workshop, i.e. computational transportation science and are not being considered for publication in any other forum.
- Short papers and Position Papers (up to 4 pages): Papers describing the early research results on original work on computational transportation science. Authors must clearly state the ongoing and future work and the relevance of the results presented in the context of the scope of this workshop.
- Demo Papers (up to 4 pages): Describing original systems for demonstration/presentation at the conference.
Papers must be in ACM SIG format (https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template) (US Letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches) including text, figures and references. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM digital library under the condition that at least one author has registered for both the main SIGSPATIAL conference and the workshop, attends the workshop, and presents the accepted paper in the workshop. Otherwise, the accepted paper will not appear in the workshop proceedings or in the ACM Digital Library version of the workshop proceedings.
