Welcome to ITSCA2026

2026 21st China Intelligent Transportation Conference

 (ITSAC 2026)



To all relevant organizations and individuals:

The 21st China Intelligent Transportation Conference 2026 (ITSAC 2026) is one of the most comprehensive, influential, and forward‑looking annual events in China’s intelligent transportation sector. In order to fully leverage the conference’s role in academic leadership and industrial empowerment, enhance original innovation capabilities in the field, and support the high‑quality development of China’s intelligent transportation industry, we hereby invite submissions of scientific papers for the conference. The Academic Committee of this year’s conference will review all submissions. Accepted English‑language papers will be published by Springer‑Verlag in its Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering series and indexed by EI Compendex. Accepted Chinese‑language papers will be compiled into a proceedings volume for exchange at the conference and will be indexed by CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) and Wanfang Data.

Submission Guidelines
(1) Manuscript Requirements
Manuscripts must be unpublished, and may be written in either Chinese or English.
Papers must be authentic and original, and must not substantially duplicate any published paper or any paper that has been submitted to other journals or conferences and is under review.
Manuscripts should be prepared according to the paper format requirements (Attachments 1 and 2) and submitted in both Word and PDF formats.

(2) Submission Method and Deadline
Papers are to be submitted online at www.itsac.org.cn/submit. The deadline is 15 September 2026.

(3) Paper Acceptance
Official acceptance of papers involves a two‑stage evaluation process:
After passing the academic misconduct check, manuscripts will be reviewed by experts of the Academic Committee. Authors of provisionally accepted papers will be notified by SMS before 31 October.
Authors are required to present their papers at the conference. Final acceptance, publication and EI indexing will take place after the conference.

Important Notes
(1) Authors are solely responsible for the content of their papers and must not violate national laws, regulations or ethical norms.
(2) The Association reserves the right to edit manuscripts; authors with special requirements should state them in advance.
(3) Authors must not infringe upon the copyright of others in any way; any disputes arising from author infringement shall be borne solely by the author.
(4) All submissions will be checked for academic misconduct. Papers with a repetition rate or AI‑generation rate exceeding a certain threshold will be rejected, and those failing the format review will not be evaluated or accepted.
(5) The use of generative AI tools in the preparation of papers is permitted only for auxiliary purposes such as language polishing, literature retrieval, data organisation and analysis, and idea exploration. Authors are responsible for the use of generative AI in their papers and bear the corresponding legal and ethical liabilities.
(6) Funded projects or award‑winning projects should be indicated in a footnote, with the project number in parentheses.
