IEEE ITSC 2026
The IEEE ITS Society's flagship scientific conference, the 29th ITSC, in Naples, Italy.
The IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems is the flagship scientific conference of the IEEE ITS Society. The 29th edition runs September 15-18 in Naples, Italy, under the theme “Innovative Solutions for Future Transportation,” with accepted papers published in IEEE Xplore.
Why it matters for the data layer
ITSC is the academic anchor of the ITS field, where the algorithms and models behind traffic prediction, automated driving, and network optimization get published and debated. It is more theoretical than the US association events, which is the point: it is the research pipeline feeding the systems agencies will deploy years later.
This one is outside the US, so it is a remote or partner-coverage item for ITS Feed rather than an on-site beat. The value for data-layer readers is in the proceedings: ITSC papers are a leading indicator of where transportation AI and analytics are actually advancing, separate from the product cycle.
