The 14th International Workshop on Computational Transportation Science (IWCTS 2021) is particularly timely given the prominence of connected automated vehicles technologies in the global auto industry’s near-term growth strategies, of big data analytics, unprecedented access to sensing data of mobility, and of integration of this analytics into the optimization of mobility and transport. These developments are deeply computational. We will build upon the success of previous workshops to continue to focus on computational approaches for (not limited to):
- Sustainability: Emission analysis and reduction, decarbonization, alternative fuels, electric vehicles, transportation equity, environmental justice.
- Traffic Operations: Connected and Autonomous (CAVs), computational traffic flow models and control algorithms, data-driven approaches to transportation systems operations, freight transportation systems, resiliency during extreme weather events.
- Infrastructure Sensing: Digital Twin technologies, urban sensing infrastructure, edge computing.
- Travel Behavior Analysis: modeling and simulation of population and freight movements, dynamic routing algorithms, role of transportation in community spread of a COVID-19, effect of COVID-19 on traffic/travel behavior.
We welcome research papers from computer sciences, geosciences, transportation sciences, urban 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.
Important Deadlines:
- Paper submission due:
August 27th, 2021September 10th(AoE) extended deadline - Notification to the authors: September 24th, 2021

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- Full papers (up to 10 pages): Original, unpublished research papers which belong to the scope of the workshop, i.e. computational transportation science and are not being considered for publication in any other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.
