LARTC 2026: Latin American Road and Traffic Conference
Dates: September 8–10, 2026
Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina

LARTC 2026, the premier Latin American conference on road infrastructure and traffic management, will convene in the vibrant metropolis of Buenos Aires from September 8–10, 2026. Hosted by Argentina’s National Ministry of Transport and the Argentine Association of Road Technology (AATV), this three-day event will bring together policymakers, engineers, researchers, and industry leaders to address critical challenges and innovations in transportation across Latin America and beyond.

Themes and Content
The conference will focus on sustainable mobility, smart infrastructure, and inclusive urban planning. Key topics include:
- Smart Traffic Systems: Integration of AI, IoT, and real-time data analytics for congestion reduction and accident prevention.
- Sustainable Infrastructure: Eco-friendly road construction materials, resilient design for climate change adaptation, and carbon-neutral transport corridors.
- Urban Mobility Solutions: Public-private partnerships for transit, electric vehicle (EV) charging networks, and equitable access to transportation in marginalized communities.
- Safety and Efficiency: Advanced traffic modeling, autonomous vehicle testing frameworks, and policies to reduce road fatalities in Latin America.
- Digital Transformation: Digital twins for city planning, blockchain-based logistics, and open data platforms for transparent governance.

Program Highlights
LARTC 2026 will feature keynote speeches by global experts (e.g., from the World Bank and UN-Habitat), technical workshops, and panel discussions on policy harmonization. Attendees can expect:
- Academic Sessions: Peer-reviewed research presentations on traffic flow optimization, pavement technology, and transport economics.
- Innovation Showcase: An expo highlighting startups, tech firms, and government agencies demonstrating cutting-edge solutions.
- Policy Forums: High-level dialogues on funding mechanisms for infrastructure projects and regulatory reforms to accelerate adoption of green mobility.

Why Buenos Aires?
As Argentina’s economic and cultural hub, Buenos Aires offers a dynamic backdrop for LARTC 2026. The city’s ongoing revitalization of its public transport system—including the expansion of the Subte subway and bus rapid transit (BRT) corridors—serves as a real-world case study for sustainable urban mobility. Participants will have opportunities to tour local projects, fostering knowledge exchange between theory and practice.

Target Audience
LARTC 2026 will attract over 500 attendees, including:
- Transportation engineers and urban planners.
- Government officials from Latin American transport ministries.
- Academics and researchers from universities in the region.
- Industry stakeholders (construction, automotive, logistics, and tech).

Call for Participation
Abstracts for papers, workshops, and case studies are now being accepted until March 31, 2026. Accepted submissions will be published in the conference proceedings, indexed in major databases. Early-bird registration opens in January 2026.

LARTC 2026 aims to bridge gaps in transportation development, drive innovation, and position Latin America as a leader in sustainable mobility. Join us to shape the future of roads and traffic in the Americas.
