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.

Paper structure

In the second round, conference papers of maximum 3000 words and maximum 3 figures are invited to be submitted by 15th September 2025 (deadline extended until 30 September 2025) through the online submission system. There will be no fixed template provided, thus the authors can use their own formats. The papers will be reviewed by independent experts and by members of the local program committee.

Presentation

Accepted papers will be presented either in a technical (oral) session or as a poster with a brief oral presentation. Maximum one presentation is allowed per person attending the conference. This means that an author can be a co-author of multiple papers but is not allowed to present more than one paper.
