Welcome to the proceedings of the 2024 International Conference on Intelligent Transportation and Smart Cities (ICITSC2024). This prestigious gathering of researchers, scholars, practitioners, and industry experts, delves into the dynamic intersection of intelligent transportation systems and the advancement of smart cities. The conference serves as a platform for knowledge exchange, the sharing of innovative ideas, and the cultivation of collaborations that will shape the future of transportation and urban development.

The ICITSC2024 conference brings together experts from diverse disciplines, including computer science, urban planning and data science. It serves as a catalyst for interdisciplinary discussion, aiming to bridge the gap between theory and practice in the realm of intelligent transportation and smart cities. The growing interest in this field is propelled by the need to address the challenges posed by rapid urbanization, increasing traffic congestion, environmental concerns, and the demand for efficient and sustainable transportation systems.

This book of proceedings presents research articles covering topics within the domain of Intelligent Transportation and Smart Cities, which is a multidisciplinary issue, Researches in this field not only focus on the development of basic theories in computer science (IoT, Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence, among others), but also on the transfer of advanced theory to engineering applications. We have collected articles which blend different disciplines, such as communication technology, artificial intelligence, edge computing, traffic management, and smart cities, with a focus on articles with practical applications in different engineering fields. These proceedings showcase cutting-edge advancements and breakthroughs, and offer valuable insights into the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities in both fields.

We extend our sincere gratitude to those authors who have contributed their work to this volume, as well as to the reviewers who have dedicated their time and expertise to ensuring the quality and relevance of the presented research. We would also like to express our appreciation to the conference organizers, sponsors, and participants for their unwavering support and commitment to advancing the fields of intelligent transportation and smart cities.

It is our hope that these proceedings will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and industry professionals, inspiring further exploration and collaboration in the pursuit of intelligent, sustainable, and inclusive urban mobility solutions within the context of smart cities.

With warm regards,
