Don’t Miss Out – Join Us at SuTra2024!

We are pleased to release the draft program for the SuTra2024 Conference. This conference offers a unique opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on key topics related to traffic safety and sustainable infrastructure development.

The conference will commence with an opening ceremony, followed by a panel session dedicated to the cooperation between local authorities and institutions in enhancing traffic safety and sustainable infrastructure development. This will be followed by a panel session focusing on improving rural mobility and its impact on rural tourism development.

Throughout the day, you will have the opportunity to attend presentations of research abstracts and discussions on ongoing projects and innovations in the field of sustainable mobility and logistics.

In addition to the academic program, there will be an excursion featuring a hop-on hop-off winery tour through the vineyards of Međimurje, sponsored by the Tourist Association of Međimurje County. The evening will conclude with a relaxing dinner at Pub Potkova, accompanied by a DJ and for the other days, check the attached draft program.

Please note that the final version of the program will be released one week before the conference. We look forward to your participation and believe that this year’s conference will be exceptionally valuable and inspiring.

We are proud to announce our first keynote speaker Prof. Dr. Sergio A. Useche form University of Valencia, Spain with his lecture “Large-scale challenges require large-scale insights: Invigorating evidence-based active and sustainable transport solutions”

Abstract

While the current Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 2030) provide a comprehensive framework to approach transport sustainability (the what), the avenues for translating it into practice (the how) remain undisclosed for many stakeholders. This entails key risks such as conducting ineffective, theoretically-weak, contextually unaware, or just redundant interventions targeted at promoting active/sustainable travel modes.

Apart from representing a frequent constraint in mobility decision-making, the current research gaps pose the challenge of invigorating, improving, and connecting evidence-based outcomes to benefit several strategic sectors, including policy, practice, planning, and advocacy.

Nevertheless, the past years –along with both successful and improvable experiences– have helped visibilizing the importance of increasing large-scale research on active/massive transportation affairs, especially regarding users’ attitudinal and behavioral factors, addressing strategic groups for sustainable mobility such as pedestrians, public transport users, and cyclists.

This keynote lecture aims to address key current trends in user-based sustainable travel research, and how it can contribute to conduct better interventions. It will append some interesting research drifts, translation-to-practice tips, and original large-scale research outcomes gathered through the past two editions of the “Bike-Barometer” study, which has so far constituted the largest cyclist-focused study conducted across the five continents.

Short bio-pic

Dr. Sergio A. Useche is a professor at the University of Valencia (Spain). His research focuses on sustainable and active transport from a human factors approach. His key interests include user-based transport decarbonization, behavioral constraints for sustainability, and safety issues in cycling, walking, and automated mobility. He has spoken at over 45 international conferences, contributed to more than 30 funded research projects, and published over 100 indexed scientific papers.

Ranked as one of the Top 2% most influential researchers worldwide (Stanford Ranking) and with more than 2000 Scopus citations, his work is highly regarded in several journals. He serves as an Associate Editor for publishing groups such as Elsevier, PLOS, SAGE, and Frontiers. He has also received two “Top 1% Peer Reviewer” awards from Web of Science and is part of the Research Institute on Traffic and Road Safety (INTRAS), which was recently awarded the Medal of Honor in Road Safety by the Spanish Government.

We are delighted to announce that registration for the SuTra2024 conference is now open. The conference will take place from September 26th to 28th, 2024, at Terme Sveti Martin, Croatia. This international event focuses on sustainable transport and brings together experts from academia, industry, and the public sector to discuss solutions for reducing the negative impact of transport systems on the environment.

The Second International Conference on SUstainable TRAnsport (SuTra), organised by the University North (Koprivnica, Croatia) and the Faculty of Maritime Studies (University of Rijeka, Croatia), invite you to join us this September. SuTra 2024 conference provides a unique platform for the exchange of knowledge, ideas and the latest research in the field of sustainable transport. Our goals are to encourage multidisciplinary discussions and improve understanding of key challenges and opportunities in this area. We invite authors to submit their abstracts and become part of this important event. In this call, we inform you that the deadline for abstract submition has been extended to June 15, and the deadline for notification of acceptance to June 30. Abstract submissions can made through the official website of the conference sutra-conference.com. Detailed instructions for submitting works are available on the website.

The second International Conference on SUstainable TRAnsport (SuTra), organised by the University North (Koprivnica, Croatia) and the Faculty of Maritime Studies (University of Rijeka, Croatia), invite you to join us this September. The conference is focused on multidisciplinary research, development, and operational experiences aiming to discuss optimal scientific and engineering solutions to reduce the negative environmental impact of transportation systems. This must essentially be conducted by interdisciplinary approach and considering different means of all transport modes: maritime and inland, rail, road and air services, together with inevitable information and telecommunication technologies.
