On September 26 we will have a high-level Plenary speakers and academic leaders. The speakers will share their insight and expertise with the majority of the RelStat-2024 Conference attendees.
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).

Poster Preparing
Posters provide an interactive forum where authors can present their work during the conference’s special poster sessions. Posters allow for describing new research or research in progress, displaying a poster and discussing their work with other conference participants. Submission of posters means an entirely in-person session at the conference. This may include videos, depending on the final format decided by the conference committee.
Each poster should indicate the contribution and originality of the research, stating the problem, approach and contribution of the chosen approach.
Authors should prepare a poster in English (British) and check for correct grammar and spelling.
Poster should be prepared in PDF format, using the poster template. The poster should include author names.
The presenter should print the poster and provide it in-person at the event.
For all accepted submissions, at least one author should register for the conference.
Invited Sessions
Proposals for invited sessions (workshops) within the technical scope of the conference are accepted. Each proposal should describe the theme and scope of the proposed session. The proposal must contain the title and theme of the session, moderator and a list of paper titles, names and email addresses of the corresponding authors.
Papers
Submission: Papers should be maximum 10 pages long, including references, tables, graphs, images and appendices. Authors may increase the total number of pages by a maximum of 5 extra pages, for an additional fee 10 Euro per page. Submissions with less than 4 pages or more than 10 pages (or 15 pages with additional payment) will be automatically rejected.
The total number of pages to consider is the number obtained after the paper has been correctly formatted according to the appropriate template.
Submissions should be uploaded in pdf anonymized version for a double-blind peer review.
Acceptance: After a double-blind peer review, qualifying Papers may be accepted.
Publication:
Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the conference to present the work.
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or to another conference with proceedings.
Papers must be clearly presented in English (British), and in Springer LNCS Format (http://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines)

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.
