Smart Green Technology in Railway Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting submissions for the Special Issue on Smart Green Technology in Railway Engineering.

Railroad technology continues to develop and has become an essential element of modern life. Trains with continuous high speeds and driving performances suitable for various environments are being developed and used as key means of transportation globally. Recently, with the climate crisis, there has been a shift towards technologies utilizing eco-friendly and alternative energy, and related research is being actively conducted. In particular, research results on research topics such as hydrogen energy, eco-friendly train-driving technology, real-time maintenance, fuel cells for trains, and the improvement of driving safety are receiving significant attention from related researchers.

In this Special Issue, we aim to include various research results related to the railway system, including various eco-friendly and alternative energy utilization technologies. We welcome review papers as well as relevant theoretical and experimental research papers on relevant topics.
