ABSTRACT
In this paper, the formatting requirements for the National Conference on Overcoming Road
Traffic Challenges (ORTC2018) are described. Some recommendations on writing for a worldwide
readership are offered. Please review this document to learn about the formatting of texts, table and
figure captions, references, and the method to include the indexing information. The conference
proceedings will be published in an electronic format. The full paper in MS Word file shall be written
in compliance with these instructions. At a later stage, it will be converted into Portable Document
Format (PDF).
An abstract not exceeding 300 words should appear on the top of the first page, after the title of
the paper in a section titled "ABSTRACT" (without section number), after the names of the authors.
KEYWORDS: 4 - 8 keywords
INTRODUCTION
It is expected that authors will submit carefully written and proofread material. Careful checking
for spelling and grammatical errors should be performed. The number of pages of the paper should be
from 6 to 12.
Papers should clearly describe the background of the subject, the work of the author(s), including
the methods used, results and concluding discussions on the importance of the work. Papers are to be
prepared in English and SI units must be used. Technical terms should be explained unless they may
be considered to be known to the conference community.
The length of the paper should not exceed a total of 7,500 words, where each table or figure
should be counted for 250 words. For example, if a paper consists of 4,000 words in text, 4 tables,
and 2 figures, then the length of the paper should be: 4,000 + 4 x 250 + 2 x 250 = 5,500 words.
PAPER FORMAT
The uniform appearance will assist the reader to read paper of the proceedings. It is therefore
suggested to authors to use the example of this file to construct their papers. This particular example
uses an American letter format with 25 mm margins left, right, top and bottom.
All text paragraphs should be single spaced, with first line intended by 10 mm. Double spacing
should only be used before and after headings and subheadings as shown in this example. Position and
style of headings and subheadings should follow this example. No spaces should be placed between
paragraphs.

Header, Footer, Page Numbering
Authors are asked to insert page number in the footer section and the conference information on
the header of the first page.
Fonts
Papers should use 11-point Times New Roman font. The styles available are bold, italic and
underlined. It is recommended that texts in figures should not smaller than 10-point font size.
Tables and Figures

Figure captions and table headings should be sufficient to explain the figure or table without
needing to refer to the text. Figures and tables not cited in the text should not be presented. The
following is an example for Table 1.
Table 1 Title of the Table

Year Traffic Volume (pcu) Speed (km/h)
2008 4700 40
2009 4800 39
2010 4900 38
2011 5000 38
Tables and figures should be placed close after their first reference in the text. All figures and
tables should be numbered with Arabic numerals. Table headings should be centred above the tables.
Figure captions should be centred below the figures as shown in Figure 1.

Equations
Each equation should be presented on a separate line from the text with a blank space above and
below. Equations should be clear and expressions used should be explained in the text. The equations
should be numbered consecutively at the outer right margin, as shown in Eqs. (1) - (2) below. Here is
one example.
In this case, the governing system of equations can be written as follows:
(1)
2
(2)
(3)
References
Proper references must be included throughout the text and the list of references must be provided
in this section. The references inserted in the text and the list of references must be done as follow:
Reference citations: Citations in the main body, appendices, tables and figures are to be made
using the last name of the author (both authors when only two; first author plus et al. when more than
two). Example: "... as previously shown (Jones et al., 1989)," or "... as shown by Jones et al. (1989)."
For two or more papers published in the same year by the same author(s), add a, b, c, etc. to the year
such as (1980a) or (1980b) and cite jointly as Jones et al. (1980a, b).
List of references: List all cited references (including citations in tables, figures and appendices)
in alphabetical order according to the first-named author. The titles of papers, patents and books or
monograph chapters and the initial and final page numbers are to be included. Example for journal
papers, book/monograph sections or chapters, and conference proceedings are given the reference
section at the end of this document.
Referencing websites: With the increasing availability of useful information that can be found on
the internet, website references must also be reported. At the end of the reference list, make a separate
section of websites and the date consulted. However, to avoid very long website addresses, these
references should be referred as Web-1, Web-2, etc. In the reference list, provide the list of websites
with the numeral values used in the text.
SUBMITTING THE PAPER

The full paper has to be submitted electronically via the website of the conference
(https://www.lucyacademy.com/event/rsc2018/submit-paper/) by July 20, 2018. To ensure a
successful submission, the file should be named with only English letter and numbers, as characters
other than English letter could potentially cause submission failures.
CONCLUSIONS
Conclusions should state concisely the most important propositions of the paper as well as the
author’s views of the practical implications of the results.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
A short acknowledgement section can be written between the conclusion and the references.
Sponsorship and financial support acknowledgments should be included here. Acknowledging the
contributions of other colleagues who are not included in the authorship of this paper is also added in
this section. If no acknowledgement is necessary, this section should not appear in the paper.
