The Institute of Communication and Computer Systems (ICCS) is pleased to announce the upcoming International Symposium “Navigating the Future of Traffic Management” which will be held in Athens from 29 June to 03 July 2025. As the host organization, ICCS invites traffic management professionals, researchers, and innovators from across the globe to join this premier event, where the latest advancements in transportation systems will be explored and discussed.
About the Symposium
The International Symposium “Navigating the Future of Traffic Management” is a global platform designed to foster collaboration among managers, traffic engineers, practitioners, and researchers. The symposium will focus on innovative practices, proven methods, and cutting-edge technologies that can help agencies improve how they actively manage traffic on freeways, motorways, and tollways.
Participants will have the opportunity to hear from industry leaders and experts who will address the challenges, research needs, and collaborative opportunities essential for the future of traffic management. With the growing complexity of transportation systems, it is imperative to explore new solutions for improving safety, facilitating multimodal mobility, and tackling the pressing issue of climate change.
Key Themes and Tracks
The symposium will cover five thematic tracks that address the critical areas shaping the future of traffic management:
- Governance and Organizational Challenges
Focus on policies, programs, and strategies aimed at optimizing the operation and performance of surface transportation systems. This track will also explore the potential of multimodal, intermodal, and cross-jurisdictional systems to enhance safety, mobility, and system reliability. - Operational Strategies and Network Performance
This track examines strategies to improve the operational efficiency of highways, motorways, and tollways. - Next Generation of Traffic Management Systems and Services
Discuss emerging technologies and data-driven services that will define the future of traffic management systems. - Paying to Sustain Highway Networks
Delve into financial models and management strategies for ensuring the long-term sustainability of highway networks. - Sharing Traffic Management Data Within the Roadway Digital Ecosystem
Explore the role of data sharing and integration within the digital infrastructure of modern roadways and its impact on overall traffic management.
