Energy Modeling and Energy Management of Transport Systems

Dear Colleagues,

As a result of rapid industrialization and urbanization, most societies face significant challenges in terms of energy and environmental pollution. Researchers have been looking for effective methods to manage energy, with pollution and lack of energy being two of the biggest issues we face today. The intelligent transportation system is one of the most advanced approaches for managing and optimizing land, air, and sea transportation. Using the intelligent transportation system, we will be able to manage public transportation, manage and navigate suburban and urban fleets, manage and optimize traffic flow and smooth movement, monitor and control light and heavy transportation, plan, execute, and optimize in the best way possible. It will save fuel and help the environment in many ways. This Special Issue invites researchers to present their research for modeling in energy optimization and provide useful solutions for managing energy consumption in transportation systems, according to the approach of intelligent transportation systems. We encourage authors to submit their latest research and achievements based on modeling methods, including statistical and intelligent modeling.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Relevant applications include (but are not limited to):

• Platforms, methods, and energy modelling for the intelligent transportation systems;
• Optimization and control in energy efficiency;
• Novel smart energy management for the intelligent transportation systems;
• Machine learning in energy management;
• Big data analytics for energy management;
• Development of advanced energy storage technologies for transportation systems;
• Renewable energy management in intelligent transportation systems;
• Major social and technological challenges of energy management in the intelligent transportation systems.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
