We are pleased to announce that Marcin Seredynski, a researcher at the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), was one of the co-recipients of Best Technical Paper award at the 22nd ITS World Congress, held from 5-9 October 2015 in Bordeaux, France. The world’s largest event in intelligent transport systems and services, this year’s congress focused on the theme of intelligent mobility and better use of space. 

Marcin presented his paper, “Signal phase and timing (SPaT) for cooperative public transport priority measures”, during a session on the topic “Solutions for Sustainable Mobility – Flow Monitoring and Management”. The awarded paper is part of the Cooperative Way to Mobility and Traffic Efficiency (MOBITRAFF) project which was financed by the National Research Fund (FNR).
