From November 5 to 7, 2018, the International Seminar on Integrated road transportation and Urban mobility organized by PIARC will be held in Cape Town, South Africa. This is one of the major events on research and technology in the field of Integrated Road Transportation and Mobility.

A poster session will also be organized during the seminar. Researchers and end-users are encouraged to take this opportunity to present their research and case studies. Authors are invited to submit an electronic poster using the proposed template by June 30, 2018.
