TRANSBALTICA XII: Transportation science and technology. Proceedings of the 12th international conference TRANSBALTICA, September 16–17, 2021, Vilnius, Lithuania

Abstract

The international scientific conference “Transbaltica: Transportation Science and Technology” is a traditional, bi-annual event of the Faculty of Transport Engineering in Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VILNIUS TECH), organized in cooperation with partners since 2001. The twelfth edition of “Transbaltica XII: Transportation Science and Technology” was held on September 16–17, 2021, remotely from Lithuania. Authors from 20 countries presented their research, covering a number of scientific problems within the research field of transport engineering, transportation and logistics, as well as other disciplines and interdisciplinary areas related to transport system. The proceedings of Transbaltica 2021 has been organized in five parts, featuring its main areas of interest: 1) Vehicle Engineering and Dynamics discusses timely issues in vehicle modeling and simulations, vehicle safety systems and railway transport, and relating technologies and applications 2) Engine Combustion, Energy Management and Emissions provides useful information regarding alternative fuels, fuel mixtures, combustion process control methods, and efficient use of energy. 3) Logistics and Transportation describes most recent research trends regarding green logistics, supply chain connectivity, computational logistics, as well as new circumstances affecting the carriage of goods and passengers, and possible solutions to them. 4) Intelligent Vehicles and Infrastructure covers highly automated and autonomous driving and infrastructure for autonomous and connected vehicles. 5) Human–Machine Interaction, Behavioural Sciences covers human factors in transportation and research problems relating to driver monitoring, driver behavior, as well as other road users behavior.
