<p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">22-25 September, 2014, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Description</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">The 1st International Workshop on Information Fusion for Smart Mobility Solutions (IFSMS’14) provides an international forum on the latest technologies and research in the field of smart mobility solutions. We are living in a world where cars will soon all be very well-equipped with sensors such as GPS sensors, laser radars, infrared parking sensors, rear dead angle cameras, etc. Besides that, the infrastructure itself is likely to soon exploit technologies currently widely used, like smartphones, navigators and digital radio broadcast. Finally, there have been huge advances on traffic simulation, optimization, intensive computational techniques, distributed computing, data networks, wireless connectivity, and many others. If we combine all of this, there is the richest variety ever of information sources available for smart mobility solutions. The technology is out there, and now it is needed to take firm steps towards wisely combining the sources of information into smart applications that make roads safer and ensure a smooth mobility of individuals.</p>
