2026 IEEE International Conference on Smart Mobility (SM)

About Our Conference

The IEEE International Conference on Smart Mobility (SM’26) is designated for reporting recent research, development and deployment results in smart mobility systems and services, their challenging problems and their potential applications. SM is where academics, technologists, OEMs, mobility service providers, city planners and policy makers can network, learn and collaborate with each other. The program of the conference features keynote and invited speeches from top thought-leaders and pioneers in the area of smart mobility, panel discussions, fully refereed papers, workshops, tutorials, industry sessions, Summer School, Women in Mobility (WiM) Symposium, Barrier-free Accessible Mobility Pitch-off Competition, F1Tenth Competition, and Triple Helix Exhibition.

Why it matters

Smart Mobility Triad

Smart mobility is one of the main pillars that characterizes smart cities and maintains their sustainability as a way to deal with continuously growing world urbanization and its expected impacts on public health, congestion and accelerated global climate change.

The widespread deployment and the societal acceptance of smart mobility technologies will depend not only on the maturity of the technology but also on the availability of a well-developed governance framework and the proper city planning to accommodate these evolving technologies. This means that smart mobility depends on a triad of complementary factors; technology, governance, and city planning [*] .

How can we achieve this triad? What are the strategies that we can follow to apply this triad facing all the disruptive times the world has? How can government, city planners, and technologists work together to respond to changes in mobility? Answers to these questions are among the expected outcomes of this international conference, through authors’ contributions, keynote speeches, and panel discussions.

Call for Papers

The IEEE International Conference on Smart Mobility (SM’26) is organized into three tracks representing the smart mobility triad; technology, city planning and governance, with a list of areas in each track. Authors shall choose a primary and an alternative area when submitting their papers. Other research areas that fall within the three tracks are also welcomed.

Panel Title: Engineering and Societal Adoption Challenges of Automated Driving Systems
IEEE International Conference on Smart Mobility (IEEESM)
Across the globe, there are tens of companies pursuing the development of automated driving systems (ADS), ranging over SAE Driving Automation Levels 3-5. There are several open engineering challenges of ADS software – particularly in development and validation of ADS operation in challenging weather conditions, critical corner cases, dealing with a variety of pedestrians and traffic conditions, and cooperation with human operated vehicles. Many standards (e.g., ISO 26262, ISO 21448) are emerging providing guidelines to ensure safety of ADS under the intended operating conditions. On the other hand, there are societal concerns that technological advancements such as ADS and robotics might bring in, e.g., people being out of work, competing with automation etc.. Initiatives like Partners for Automated Vehicle Education (PAVE) aim to alleviate such concerns by educating public and policymakers on pros and cons of automated driving systems. This panel discussion will focus on ADS engineering and societal adoption challenges and offer some possible solutions.
