Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in sustainable transportation are transforming the way we move and shaping a more eco-friendly future. This Special Issue offers an exchange platform for research focusing on innovative and advanced means to make transportation systems more sustainable in various aspects, such as economic growth, environment, social equity, urban resilience, urban-rural linkages, rural area productivity, smart transportation systems, and technological efficiency enhancements. Faced with the threat of climate change, energy efficiency in the transportation sector and adaptation to climate policies are also topics that require attention. The scope of this Special Issues includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:
- The investigation of transportation systems in terms of their sustainability of infrastructure, vehicles, and operations;
- The integration of different disciplines with transportation, including engineering, social science, operations research, and information technology;
- The application of qualitative and quantitative methods to transportation studies;
- Expository papers and case studies in a local and international context;
- Transport management (smart transport systems, road pricing policy, decarbonization, fuel efficiency and carbon economy, transport electrification);
- Social aspects and consumer decisions related to transport systems and planning;
- Transportation policies in adaptation to climate policies;
- Sustainability issues in the airline.
The problems of sustainable transportation associated with passenger and freight transportation modes are equally important.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
