invited to submit an extended abstracts by way of EasyChair. The reviewing process is managed by the local organizing committee.
For preselection the first-phase starts with a call for extended abstracts up to three pages (including references). All extended abstracts should include specific sections like aim of paper, methodological aspects, originality of topic, results, concluding remarks, references.
In the second phase the authors of the selected extended abstracts are invited to submit a full paper (at least 6 pages and up to 10 pages, including references). Download the TRPRO_emc_ftl_2018_Word_Template and the AuthorInformationPack. The full papers have to be upload by way of EasyChair. Each Paper will be reviewed by at least two peer-reviewers. Proceedings will be published by Elsevier (Transportation Research Procedia).
