Mathematical Methods, Models and Algorithms for Smart, Sustainable and Secure Mobility

Dear Colleagues,

Transportation engineering is a broad disciplinary research field in applied sciences that studies various and numerous problems related to the planning, design, management, and control of transportation systems. In this context, several problems can be formulated and solved with mathematical, statistical, optimization, and technological tools; this research field is often multidisciplinary, involving physics, mathematical, environmental, energetic, and human behavioral aspects.

This Special Issue wants to contribute to this wide research field, urging submissions of high-quality papers in the following topics:

Transport modeling and control

Demand modeling and travel behavior
Model calibration and simulation
Dynamic network modeling
Simulation and optimization of transportation systems
Control and management of transportation systems
Traffic flow modeling and short-term predictions
Vehicle routing and route planning
Human factors, minds, and cognition
Energy consumption and emission modeling

Transportation Planning and operation

Rail operations and management
Public transport
Multimodal transportation and terminals
Airport and air transport operations
Port and maritime operations
City logistics
Land use and transport interactions

Innovative services

Mobility as a Service
Smart cities and smart mobility

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
