MOTIVE AND THE PRIMARY AIM OF THE CONFERENCE

It has passed ten years since the initiative for organizing the first conference, which is the reason for marking this conference as a jubilee. We are proud for being able, thanks to unselfish support of colleagues from the country, region and wider, to gather scientific and expert public, decision makers and ultimate users, with the aim of solving common problems of urban mobility and mutual responsibility before new challenges.

The goal of this conference is to incite new forms of dealing with contemporary problems and initiate common ctions which will lead to a new dimension of planning and faster affirmation of smart mobility in Southeast Europe cities and towns.

In the previous decade modern technological innovations have been successfully implemented in the field of transportation resulting in a significant change of travel demands and measures in traffic management systems. This conference target is to try together to find answers to the following questions: How to adapt introduction of certain technological innovations, regulations and economic measures, to local conditions, how to justify, fasten and institutionalise them? Which are their advantages and disadvantages? How to adapt educations system to those intensive changes? How to incite the development and competitiveness of the economy in this field in Southeast Europe cities and towns?
