The call for abstracts for the 1109 Transport Research Arena TRA 2018 event in Vienna is opening now. The Transport Research Arena TRA conference is a highly important biennial event focussing on European research and technology for transport and mobility. After a decade of successful editions around Europe the 7th TRA will take place in Austria’s capital Vienna from 16th to 19th April 2018. The Call for Papers will remain open until March 21st 2017. Scientists, researchers and engineers are invited to submit their abstracts online.

Dr Christian Chimani, Head of Centre for Low-Emission Transport at AIT Austrian Institute of Technology and Chair of Programme Committee at TRA 2018, explained the two types of papers, which are welcome to be submitted: “On the one hand authors can submit scientific papers, which will undergo a scientifically-oriented review process. On the other they can submit technical papers, which are reviewed based on the quality of technology, relevance for implementation and case studies.”

A selection of the best scientific papers will be invited for publication in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and made electronically accessible. “Scientists who submit papers presenting results from EU-funded projects are additionally invited to take part in the TRA Visions 2018 competition (www.travisions.eu) for senior researchers in the field of innovative surface transport”, said Manfred Haider, vice chair of Programme Committee. After successfully passing the abstract review, authors will be invited to submit full papers which – if finally selected – will be presented in oral or poster format at the conference.

The topics of TRA 2018 scientific and technical sessions will include: environment and energy efficiency; vehicles and vessels; advanced propulsion systems; smart urban mobility and logistics; people mobility; freight transport and logistics; transport infrastructure. They will also include connected and automated transport; digital technologies for transport; safe, secure and resilient transport systems ; human dimension in transport; socio-economics, innovation and policy.
