Due to high levels of motorization and urban concentration, medium and large cities face countless problems related to traffic, transportation, and mobility, necessitating the development of new and more efficient systems for planning and rationalization.
Improving the flow of vehicles and public transportation, as well as the proper design of streets and the appropriate prioritization of their use, will help prevent the current situation from worsening. This area will facilitate discussion of all aspects related to urban mobility and the interrelationship between urban and interurban traffic.
» THE AREA TOPICS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:
• Traffic Engineering in Urban Areas: Planning, data collection and analysis, layouts, speeds, traffic signals, mathematical theories
• Proposals for determining capacity and level of service in urban networks
• Heavy traffic networks
• Public transport priority systems and BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) systems
• Access to urban centers and urban crossings. Proposals for peak hours
• Vehicle parking planning
• New systems for sharing vehicles, bicycles, scooters, and other modes of transportation
• Intermodal transit hubs
