Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Within the transportation sciences, great emphasis is placed on the transport infrastructure itself. Its usage, efficiency, and control over traffic flow could be improved by using technological equipment and advanced systems known also as transport telematics or intelligent transportation systems. One of the essential parts of transport infrastructure is tunnels, which are often the key transport route, because of terrain, the absence of alternatives, transit in the cities, etc. However, tunnels require more attention from the perspectives of safety, reliability, security, efficiency and sustainability.
Due to the complexity of tunnels, a wide range of technological equipment and implemented systems could be discussed, such as traffic control, the usage of variable message signs, ventilation, lighting, positioning methods, the detection of traffic or unexpected events, energy consumption, etc. These systems are also high cost in terms of operation and maintenance, which is as important as the development of new systems. Thus, research papers, experimental studies, testing results and new approaches in the field of sustainable tunnel systems are welcomed in this Special Issue.

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.
