    FOREWORD FROM THE CO-CHAIRS OF THE CONGRESS
    SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE
    Technology and innovations are evolving at a pace never seen before in the history of the road and
    transport sector. From innovations in materials, such as self-healing concrete and rubberized asphalt,
    to advances in construction equipment automation, and of course, the dawn of the connected and
    automated vehicle, we are on a verge of a new era. With such remarkable developments, we found
    it very important to organize a global event that brought together the most innovative researchers
    with the top practitioners and users of innovation and technology. As such it is our pleasure invite
    innovators, researchers and practitioners to submit abstracts in the following topics and help us build
    tomorrow’s transport infrastructure today.
