Efficient transportation systems are the backbone of any successful economy. Unfortunately, climate change now poses serious threats to transport infrastructure. Roads, railways, airports, and ports in many countries are already experiencing the consequences of extreme weather events—such as major storms, heavy rains, heat waves, and rising sea levels—which, according to climate experts, are expected to become more frequent and severe in the future. In recent years, these phenomena have caused significant damage to transportation infrastructure, in addition to physical harm and service disruptions for citizens.
Authorities have become increasingly aware that adapting infrastructure to climate change is now a top priority. As a result, they are accelerating the development of national, regional, and local adaptation plans aimed at protecting transport networks from the devastating consequences of climate change. Experiences from some developed countries have shown that safeguarding transportation facilities can greatly benefit from modern technological and digital innovations, advanced materials, smart monitoring systems, and established sustainable practices that may contribute to creating safe and climate-resilient transport networks.
Like many developing countries, Algeria is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Its transportation infrastructure faces serious threats and requires urgent action for its protection.
This international conference, in its first edition, aims to bring together engineers, transport specialists, policymakers, researchers, and academics from various countries. The goal is to engage discussion and exchange information, research findings, and experiences. This collaboration will help establish a common understanding of transport infrastructure resilience and to compile a comprehensive overview of international practices for adapting transport networks to the challenges posed by climate change.
Objectives of 1st-IC-CCRTI-2025
This international conference, in its first edition, aims to:
- Bring together engineers, transport specialists, policymakers, researchers, and academics from various countries.
- Engage discussion and exchange -information, research findings, and experiences.
This collaboration will help establish a common understanding of transport infrastructure resilience and to compile a comprehensive overview of international practices for adapting transport networks to the challenges posed by climate change.
Organisation – languages - publication
The scientific event will feature invited keynote presentations, technical oral and poster sessions, and a touristic site visit. Although currently envisioned as solely in-person participation, some form of hybrid (in-person/remotely) sessions may be given due consideration.
Spaces will be made available to the conference's partner-sponsoring companies in the School's hall to allow them to exhibit and communicate on their actions towards environmental protection.
Arabic, English and French are the languages of the Conference. Arrangements are being made to offer simultaneous interpretation between the three languages during the conference events.
The book of abstracts will be made available for download by the authors on the conference platform. Discussions are underway with the concerned parties to have selected articles published on SCOPUS indexed journals.
CCRTI Abstract Template
Authors are required to create an account on the webplatform before submitting their abstract.
Abstracts may be submitted in Arabic, English, or French, via the Go To Submission link by completing a submission form, which includes separate fields for the title, authors, abstract text, and keywords.
Extended abstracts (template available here), and later, optional full-length papers, must be submitted via the conference platform as Word format files using the provided templates within the designated timeframe.
Short Author Guidelines
Authors are kindly asked to pay attention to the information given below regarding the conference stages.
1. Authors are invited to submit abstracts of no more than 350 words. The abstract should concisely summarize a new research study or a review of existing research that leads to new conclusions on a given topic.
2. Upon acceptance of the abstract, authors will be invited to submit an extended abstract of 2,500 to 4,000 words, incorporating at least four citations from recent research published within the last five years. The total number of references must be between 10 and 20, with self-citations limited to two per author.
3. The extended abstract will undergo a peer review process after being checked for plagiarism. If plagiarism is detected, authors will be required to revise and resubmit their manuscript. If the resubmitted version still contains more than 20% plagiarized content, it will be rejected.
4. After peer review, if the extended abstract is accepted, authors may be asked to revise and correct further their work. The revised version will undergo a final quality and plagiarism check before final approval.
5. Accepted contributions may be presented in person or online without requiring physical attendance at the conference. Authors can submit their abstract now and decide later whether they wish to present in person or online. Further details on the "online presentation" option will be provided upon acceptance.
6. Following the conference presentations and considering reviewers' and editors' comments, authors of outstanding papers will be invited to submit an extended version (8,000 to 12,000 words) of their conference paper for publication in an international journal.
7. The extended abstract must be enhanced based on feedback from the conference review process and discussions. At least 60% of the content in the journal article must be new, with improved exposition. While conference papers present preliminary results, journal articles should provide comprehensive research findings, including in-depth discussion and clear conclusions.
