Call for Papers

The workshop on Algorithmic Approaches for Transportation Modeling, Optimization, and Systems (ATMOS) is an annual event bringing together researchers and practitioners who are interested in all aspects of algorithmic methods and models for transportation optimization. The workshop provides a forum for the exchange and dissemination of new ideas and techniques. The aim of making transportation better gives rise to very complex and large-scale optimization problems requiring innovative solution techniques and ideas from mathematical optimization, theoretical computer science, and operations research. Applicable tools and concepts include those from graph and network algorithms, combinatorial optimization, approximation and online algorithms, stochastic and robust optimization.

We invite authors to present work that advances optimization methods and algorithms to facilitate planning and operational management of freight and passenger transportation and traffic. The workshop welcomes but is not limited to papers addressing the following challenges:

Demand Forecasting
Models for User Behavior
Design of Pricing Systems
Infrastructure Planning
Multi-modal Transport Optimization
Mobile Applications for Transport
Congestion Modeling and Reduction
Line Planning
Timetable Generation
Routing and Platform Assignment
Vehicle Scheduling
Route Planning
Crew and Duty Scheduling
Rostering
Delay Management
Routing in Road Networks
Traffic Guidance

The workshop welcomes but is not limited to papers applying and advancing the following techniques: Graph and Network Algorithms, Combinatorial Optimization, Mathematical Programming, Approximation Algorithms, Methods for the Integration of Planning Stages, Stochastic and Robust Optimization, Online and Real-time Algorithms, Algorithmic Game Theory, Heuristics for Real-world Instances, Simulation Tools.

The proceedings will be published online and as open-access in the Dagstuhl Open Access Series in Informatics (OASIcs).
