A a premier event which brings together managers, traffic engineers, practitioners, and researchers from around the globe, the city of Athens from 29 June to 3 July, the symposium will serve as a dynamic platform to explore and discuss innovative practices, proven methods, and how technologies may assist agencies in improving how they actively manage traffic on roads, freeways, motorways, and tollways.

Industry leaders and specialists from around the globe are invited and will lead discussions on the challenges, research needs, innovative approaches, and opportunities to collaborate with other agencies and service providers to improve how they actively manage and control traffic on the surface transportation system.
