Currently, the committee is supporting ten Project Authorization Requests (PARs) that
have been approved by the IEEE Standards Association. Further details, including contact
information, can be found at the following link. We encourage colleagues interested in
submitting PARs related to the ITS domain to reach out to the ITS Standards Committee
for support.

For the past 25 years, IEEE ITSS has been active in our global community, promoting education, conferences, standards and bringing the intelligent transportation community together.  IEEE ITSS is looking to collect (and share) all stories and photos to share them with all of our Society members.  Click on the button below and share your story…and thank you (in advance) for sharing your historical material with IEEE-ITSS in honor of our 25th Anniversary.

Distinguished Lecturer Program

Distinguished Lecturer Program (DLP) connects Senior IEEE ITSS members, who are renowned intelligent transportation experts, with ITSS Chapters so they can share their knowledge, expertise, and insights into the future of ITS technology. The DLP is aimed at promoting the research areas of the IEEE ITS Society as identified by its Technical Committees.

IEEE ITSS DL Program Nomination Process

The IEEE ITS Society’s would establish an approved list of Distinguish Lecturers (DLs) managed through the IEEE ITSS Education website. The expectation is that an IEEE ITSS DL would be a long standing ITSS member, have a past record of ITSS activity (e.g., conferences, administration, publications), and be able to promote ITSS activities at the lectures. An open call for DLs would be announced and managed through a portal on the website.

On 20 March 2025, the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society (ITSS) Benelux Chapter successfully hosted its first-ever Student/Young Professionals (YP) event at Echo Hall D, TU Delft.

Workshop Theme: Bridging Academia and Industry – A Path to Future Opportunities

Hosted by Xue Yao, Vice Chair of the IEEE ITSS Benelux Chapter, this inspiring and interactive workshop brought together PhD students, postdocs, and early-career professionals to connect with leading voices from academia and industry.

Event Highlights

The program began with "IEEE Insights", an informative session introducing attendees to IEEE, the ITSS Society, and the role of the Benelux Chapter. This was followed by a series of engaging keynote talks from Dr. Meng Lu and Rushali Thakkar, who shared valuable perspectives on how academic skills can seamlessly translate into impactful careers in industry. With active participation from PhD students and postdocs, the event encouraged thoughtful discussion and meaningful exchanges, concluded with a lively networking reception, providing attendees the opportunity to connect, reflect, and share ideas over refreshments.

Why It Mattered

This event sparked thoughtful conversations, encouraged meaningful exchanges, and gave participants a space to explore emerging career opportunities and build lasting connections. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all speakers, participants, and volunteers who made this first edition a success.

Stay Connected!
