Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) is one of the most important foundational theories in intelligent transportation systems (ITSs). DTA models and technologies could be used in the field of traffic planning, traffic control and management, transportation policy evaluation and online transportation systems. In recent years, technological advances have paved the way for the development of transportation systems and have had a huge impact on the research of dynamic traffic assignment. Advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, autonomous driving, wireless communication, and electric vehicles provide users with real-time information about traffic conditions and allow travelers to choose different travel modes, travel routes, and real-time decisions. Such advanced technologies may have formed the basis of DTA models’ change, such as the travel choice principle, travel demand evaluation, and traffic behaviors. Further, the application scenarios and effects of DTA models will also change greatly. All of this will have enormous potential for enhancing the sustainability of transportation systems.
In this Special Issue, we invite the submission of research papers that specifically address the potential related advanced technologies with dynamic traffic assignment models for enhancing the sustainability of transportation systems. The scope of this Special Issue is to cover DTA model and theory, DTA with autonomous driving, electric vehicles, shared traffic, and other related advanced technologies. Topics of interest with a general focus on dynamic traffic assignment and sustainable transport systems include, but are not limited to:
- Dynamic traffic assignment model and theory;
- Travel choice principle and traffic flow propagation models;
- Effective algorithms for solving DTA problems;
- Online DTA model and efficiency;
- Application of DTA models for traffic management and control;
- DTA model and application under autonomous driving environment;
- DTA model and application under electric vehicle environment;
- DTA model and application under shared traffic environment;
- DTA model and application under other advanced technologies environment;
- DTA and sustainable transport systems.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
