The World Conference on Transport Research Society (WCTRS) organized with great success the 17th World Conference on Transport Research which was held in Toulouse, France, on 6-10 July 2026. For the last 40 years, WCTR has been organized every three years by the WCTR Society, uniting specialists from the transportation sector worldwide. Topics for discussion at the World Conference on Transport Research were grouped into 9 distinct themes which include maritime and air transport logistics, infrastructure design, traffic management in urban environments or the emergence of transport in developing countries. 
The NTUA actively contributed by presenting 9 papers and a key note speech:
-
Artificial Intelligence and Road Safety- Enhancing Risky Driving Behavior Classification Using Conditional GANs (cGANs): A Data Augmentation Approach
- Identifying Dangerous Driving Behaviour through Big Data and Machine Learning Techniques
- Analysis of the Acceptability and Cost Benefits of Reducing the Speed Limit to 80 km/h on the Intercity Road Network in Greece
- Weak supervision and fine-tuning with contrastive learning for multiclass lane marking segmentation
- A Time-Window GNN-Based Network Partition for Identifying High- and Low-Risk Nodes in Road Networks
- Advances in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and Automated Driving technologies within the European Context
- Exploring Public Perceptions of city-wide 30 km/h Speed Limits in Greece: A Survey-Based Study
