A new system will enable outstanding papers to be published in an arranged partner journal of each SIG (Special Interest Group) where the paper will be presented, providing an excellent gateway for conference participants to publish their papers efficiently.
Special Interest Groups provide opportunities for the SIG members to communicate with local practitioners in the field of transport, regional/city development and environment, and provide professional knowledge to them in different regions and cities of the world.
