About the Call

TRA 2026 invites researchers, innovators, and professionals from all fields of transport to submit original papers that address the conference’s key themes and challenges. The aim is to bridge the gap between academic research and real-world practice, bringing together the brightest minds from universities, industry, and public institutions to share knowledge, exchange ideas, and shape the next generation of mobility solutions.

Accepted papers will be featured in a rich, multidisciplinary program that also includes technical demonstrations, exhibitions, and networking events, making TRA 2026 a true meeting point of science, policy, and innovation.

Submission Guidelines

1. Abstract submission

Authors are invited to submit a 200-word abstract through the online submission platform.

Authors of accepted abstracts will be asked to submit a full paper (up to 3,000 words) by September 30, 2025.
