The present IFAC Symposium on Control in Transportation Systems is the 11th in a series that started in 1970 in Versailles, France and has been held since then in different countries all over the world. The subject of the Symposium: Control in Transport Systems, has remained highly relevant since then and its importance is still increasing nowadays. This becomes clear from the many papers that were submitted. The Call for Papers generated a very high interest. More than 130 draft papers were received and after review, evaluation and selection of the submissions by members of the International Program Committee (IPC) and definitive registration there remained a total of 112 contributions for presentation during the Symposium. The papers represent a great variety of subjects, which is reflected in the final program: traffic control on highways, on ramps, and intersections, road traffic monitoring, traffic flow modeling, control of railways, waterways and air traffic, and vehicle control. About 130 participants from 22 countries and from all continents, will participate in the Symposium. (Author/publisher)
