The Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) program is a universal initiative whose objective is to add information and communication technology to transport infrastructure and vehicles. It aims to manage different factors in order to improve safety and comfort to drivers/passengers, and reduce transportation times and fuel costs.
With the advances in wireless communications technology and positioning systems many applications could become a reality.

ITS topics are attracting more and more academic and industrial players.
The goal of UBIROADS'2009 is to offer a unique forum to bring together researchers and professionals from academia, government and industry to share and discuss ideas, visions, applications and new results related to ITS issues.
