Urban Transport 2018 is organised by the Wessex Institute, UK and the University of Seville, Spain. It is sponsored by WIT Transactions on the Built Environment and the International Journal of Transport Development and Integration.

The aim of this conference is to arrive at optimal socio-economic solutions while reducing the negative environmental impacts of current transportation systems.

Seville is approximately 2,200 years old and has a distinct personality and a large and well-preserved historical centre. The city is home to many convents, churches, palaces, museums and gardens including the Museum of Fine Arts, Parque de María Luisa and the Gothic Cathedral (Catedral de Santa María de la Sede). It is believed that flamenco dance originated in Seville, and there are many flamenco shows on offer all over the city.

Delegates will receive a copy of the papers presented at the Conference on a USB Flash drive. Following the Conference, authors will receive an electronic copy of the publication in which their paper has been published.

Indexing and Archiving

Papers presented at Wessex Institute conferences are referenced by CrossRef and have appeared in notable reviews and databases. Papers are submitted to various indexing services such as Web of Science, Google Scholar, Index Copernicus and Scopus. All conference books are listed in the British Library and American Library of Congress.

Open Access

WIT Press has made all its conference and journal papers open access in an effort to help its dissemination within the scientific and technical community. This means that you are now able to download any paper in the WIT eLibrary (www.witpress.com/elibrary) without charge and without having to pre-register.

Google Scholar

This major development has the added benefit of allowing the Google Scholar search engines to fully index all WIT papers. Google Scholar is a search engine created specifically for researchers to facilitate the indexation and citation of academic papers without charge. This service is becoming the most accepted comprehensive benchmark and quality standard.
