560 ITS America is looking for high quality contributions to the technical program; content selected will further the discussion about state-of-the-art transportation technologies or offer a fresh outlook on the policy, financial, economic, or social implication of deploying transportation technologies.

Once again, the Annual Meeting Program Committee will augment the traditional call for papers approach with presentation-only submissions, to allow those who have much to share with the membership - but may not have the time to devote to preparing a complete paper - the opportunity to share their knowledge with others at the conference.

This year’s theme “Real Progress — Great Future” will discuss progress in the deployment of ITS technologies and will also illustrate just how much further technology can go to create a connected, efficient, sustainable and safe transportation system. The goal for the 2013 program is to weave this theme throughout each session as it relates to each of five main topical areas: traffic management, safety, commercial vehicle and freight mobility, sustainable transportation and cross cutting issues.

Submissions will be selected where the topic discusses innovative technology, presents novel analysis of technical or policy issues, or proposes solutions to potential hurdles to deployment of technologies. ITS America is offering a flexible format for podium or poster participation in the technical program through one of the following options:

Paper abstract submission: As an added benefit to the 2013 annual meeting, ITS America is teaming with the 856 Transportation Research Board (TRB) of the National Academy of Sciences to select papers that describe timely research topics and expand the body of knowledge. These papers will be published in a Transportation Research Record (TRR), a widely recognised peer reviewed publication. Candidate papers will be selected from the final papers submitted to the Annual Meeting and they will undergo a peer review process in coordination with TRB.

Presentation abstract submission: ITS America is again offering speaking opportunities that do not require a paper submission.  By choosing to submit a presentation abstract, presenters will not be required to submit a full paper for inclusion in the Annual Meeting Program Proceedings.

Town halls: New for the 2013 Annual Meeting, ITS America is introducing town hall sessions designed to explore topics in greater depth than allowed in a typical presentation session while also providing interactive opportunities for attendees. As part of these sessions, industry experts will field questions and solicit feedback on project issues, lessons learned, and the future of the ITS industry.  Members and interested parties can help shape these discussions by participating in the ITS America Forums, which will identify topics and craft these sessions. More information on ITS America Forums can be found at http://www.itsa.org/industryforums.
