Noise and Vibration Hazards from Transportation Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Technological developments are making it possible to acquire new information on the impact of transportation systems on humans and the environment. Noise and vibration are some of the most undesirable effects of transportation systems associated with the transport network and the transportation of cargo and passengers. Noise and vibration are undesirable, annoying, and harmful (even to health). They occur in land, sea, air, as well as internal transport, and pose a direct threat to people within the area, and wider vicinity, of transport infrastructures. Acquiring new information on these impacts and assessing opportunities to reduce them pose new research challenges for scientists.

I invite you to submit your research results to a Special Issue in the journal Applied Sciences titled “Noise and Vibration Hazards from Transportation Systems”. The main objective of this Special Issue is to present the latest research results associated with the development of methods used for measuring and processing noise and vibration signals in transportation systems related to their direct impact on humans and the environment. I encourage the submission of papers which present research results on the possibilities of reducing the negative impact of noise and vibration in transportation systems associated with the means of transport, transportation infrastructure, humans, and the environment.

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.
