Reliability and Statistics in Transportation and Communication (RelStat-2021).
Covid-19 Announcement
On behalf of the Organising Committee, we are sorry to inform that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in accordance with the current measures against spread of the disease by the Government of Latvia, the
21st International Multidisciplinary Conference “Reliability and Statistics in Transportation and Communication” (RelStat-2021) will now be held remotely on 14-15 October 2021.
It is a huge drawback, as the RelStat conference has always been known for benefiting its participants greatly with extra-curricular events, the real-life scientific debate, and interpersonal communication. At the same time, the Transport and Telecommunication Institute strictly adhere to own social responsibility standards and aim to contribute to the global efforts to tackle the spread of the disease. First and foremost, we care for the safety of all the participants, guests, and the community. Thus, the remote format is the only possible option under existing circumstances.
We keep our general goal of being an international forum for scientists and professionals in academia, industry, and government. Being at the forefront of technological advancement, we believe in making the conference work also via remote technical solutions. Thus, we are committed to ensuring a meaningful and lively discussion of recent research results, ideas, technologies, as well as all theoretical and practical issues arising in transport, information and communication technologies. Notably, arrangements regarding the publication of the proceedings remain as they were. All further organisational details and practicalities will follow shortly. Do not hesitate to contact us in case of any questions, concerns, or uncertainties you have.
The goal of the RelStat-2021 conference is to provide an international forum for scientists and professionals in academia, industry, and government to address recent research results and to present and discuss their ideas, theories, technologies, systems, tools, applications, work in progress and experiences on all theoretical and practical issues arising in transport, information and communication technologies.
RelStat-2021 has opened Call for Papers for both Special Session Proposals and Regular Full Paper Submissions. We look forward to innovative contributions in any of the following areas:
- Smart Solutions in Transportation Systems
- Networking and Telecommunications
- Reliability, Risk and Safety Applications
- Mathematics, Statistics, Modelling and its Applications
- Information Systems and Information Technologies
- Business and Economics Applications
- Mobile and Distance Education
English is the official language of the Conference.
Invited Sessions (workshops)
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 should contain the title and theme of the session, moderator and a list of paper titles, names and email addresses of the corresponding authors.

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.
