Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The transportation sector plays a central role in the socioeconomic development of the global economy but at the same time generates significant pollution from various sources, contributing to the negative impacts of transportation on public health and the environment. This Special Issue aims to broadly cover all aspects related to achieving a sustainable transportation system that is safer, more efficient and more environmentally friendly. Green transportation encompasses areas related to environmentally friendly means of transportation that minimize carbon emissions, reduce energy consumption and improve air quality. This can be achieved by reducing dependence on fossil fuels while promoting renewable energy sources, the diffusion of new technological solutions, green transportation initiatives, environmental taxes, innovation and other related research areas. Pollution control complements green transportation by addressing the pollution caused by different modes of transport with a range of measures aimed at implementing policy interventions, such as stricter emission standards, the introduction of clean fuels and investment in the necessary infrastructure to support energy-efficient transport solutions, as well as the implementation of advanced solutions that minimize harmful emissions. Both strategies aim to maintain an environmentally friendly environment with lower emissions and less impact on human health and the natural environment. These activities help to combat global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, global warming, the depletion of natural resources and more. Switching to environmentally friendly transportation and implementing effective anti-pollution measures not only benefit the environment but also improve the quality of life of the world's population.
Topics (not limited to):
- Transport and energy transition;
- Reduction of air and noise emissions in traffic;
- Environmentally friendly means of transportation;
- Green transportation infrastructure (e.g., green corridors);
- Innovative and digital solutions;
- Political interventions and investments in infrastructure;
- Optimization of logistics and pollution monitoring.
