International Workshop on Smart Moving (SMVG 2024)
The rapid advancement of technology has revolutionized the way people and goods move, ushering in an era of smart mobility. From self-driving cars to drone deliveries, smart transportation solutions are reshaping urban landscapes and enhancing societal well-being. However, this transformation also presents numerous challenges, spanning domains such as data analytics, infrastructure design, policy formulation, and societal impacts.
Think of self-driving cars, drone deliveries, safe pedestrian pathways, and optimized ambulance routes regardless of traffic. These are just a few examples of smart mobility innovations. But there are myriad challenges spanning various domains. For instance, improving services based on citizen feedback requires social sensing and data analysis. Fighting pollution needs vast sensor networks for environmental monitoring. Designing innovative city services involves addressing privacy, security, and business model considerations. Enhancing societal well-being involves healthcare monitoring, energy management, and urban planning. Predicting citizen movements and needs calls for data analysis and new communication methods. And deploying self-driving cars demands advancements in image analysis, AI, and ethical policy formulation.
Smart mobility is a broad concept, and this workshop aims to bring together practitioners from academia and industry with diverse backgrounds and perspectives to deepen our understanding of this field. We invite contributions ranging from novel proposals and best practices to pitfalls and case studies, all examined through interdisciplinary lenses.
This workshop is seeking recent advances, novel proposals, best-practices, pitfalls, and case studies concerning smart movement of people and goods.
