International Symposium on Transportation in Emerging Countries 2025

Call for Abstracts

We invite contributions in the form of research studies, case studies, and project experiences aligned with the following symposium themes:

Capacity Building & E-Learning for Road Safety

This theme focuses on innovative digital learning methods, training programs, and capacity building efforts that enhance road safety knowledge and skills. 

Potential topics include:

• The role of e-learning, digital tools, and online short courses in strengthening road
safety expertise in LMICs
• Case studies on successful training programs and capacity-building initiatives in
transportation sciences
• Challenges and best practices in delivering online education to diverse audiences in
LMICs
• Developing interactive and accessible e-learning content for road safety
professionals and policymakers
• Gamification, simulations, and virtual reality (VR) in transportation training
• The role of governments, universities, and international organizations in scaling e-learning initiatives

Safe System Approach in LMICs

This theme highlights research and practical applications of the Safe System Approach (SSA)
in LMICs, focusing on challenges, successes, and policy implications.

Potential topics include:

• Implementation of the SSA in LMIC contexts: barriers, enablers, and lessons learned.
• Infrastructure design and safety interventions aligning with SSA principles.
• Institutional collaboration and governance structures for effective SSA adoption.
• Innovative data-driven approaches to monitoring and evaluating SSA strategies.
• Integration of SSA with sustainable mobility and urban planning in emerging
economies.
• Community-based approaches and campaigns that support SSA principles.
