This first edition (a tremendous success:  twice as many applicants as spots available) was organized jointly by NEARCTIS and TU0702 COST action. It was held on June 9-11, 2010 at EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland) on Real-Time Road Traffic Monitoring and Control, and gathered top European and US instructors in the area. The objectives were

• to provide an opportunity for young researchers and professionals to acquire knowledge on the basics of road network state estimation, modelling and control and
• to allow trainees to get insight on possible implications of these basics in their own research and application field.
