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.
