The Plenary Session will be supported by a set of regular sessions addressing specific Conference topics. These sessions will showcase the current state of the art in Transport and Mobility, Data Science and AI in Transportation and Education. Regular sessions of the RelStat-2024 will include oral and poster presentations.
A new initiative for this year`s RelStat-2024 is that we will have a number of high-quality poster presentations that address key topics of the Conference.
In addition, the Conference will offer special sessions and tutorials to cover a broad spectrum of topics and other special events.
There will also be a large in-door demonstration area (iDEAHUB) and social tours organised.
You can find Guidelines for paper and poster submission below.
English is the official language of the Conference.
Conference Programme
Draft version will be available in August 2024 and can be a subject to minor changes before the conference.
Final conference programme will be delivered at least one week before the conference
PUBLICATIONS
RelStat-2024 publication policy will be continued: all submissions will undergo a peer-review procedure and the best papers (that were discussed at posters and session presentations) will be selected for the Conference Proceedings published in a Springer Book Series Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems and submitted for indexing including SCOPUS and Clarivate Analytics’ Web of Science databases (https://link.springer.com/conference/relstat).
Moreover, like in 2021-2023 we plan to publish selected papers in a recognized peer-reviewed open-access scientific journal Transport and Telecommunication (special issue) which would provide additional benefits for the authors (https://content.sciendo.com/view/journals/ttj/ttj-overview.xml).

Riga, Latvia
Riga is the capital of the Republic of Latvia. Thanks to its geographical location, Riga has wonderful trade, cultural and tourist facilities. Whilst able to offer all the benefits of a modern city, Riga has preserved its historical charm. It’s especially famous for its medieval part – Old Riga.
Old Riga still preserves many mute witnesses of bygone times. Its old narrow streets, historical monuments, organ music at one of the oldest organ halls in Europe attract guests of our city. In 1998 Old Riga was included into the UNESCO list of world cultural heritage.
