Methods and Technologies to Support Energy Management Decision Making in the Transport Sector

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of Energies will include papers describing problems in transport systems, with attention concentrated on energy management and consumption optimization.

Shaping and developing transport systems requires making numerous decisions related to energy use. This is particularly important because of the need to limit the negative impact of transport on the environment. Decision-making support can be obtained using many different methods and techniques, including among others MCDMs (multi-criteria decision methods) and the use of spatial information (GIS). One of the directions of development of modern cities in the field of transport is electromobility, both in the form of electric vehicles and micromobility, supported by the increase of renewable energy and energy storage systems. This issue also requires decisions on the proper use of energy sources and urban development.

We invite scientists and engineers to submit articles related to the problem of energy efficiency in transport systems.

Topics covered in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Decision-support methods and techniques for proper energy use;
• Urban planning and strategies in the context of energy and transport systems;
• Smart grid planning and optimization;
• Electromobility development in urban areas;
• Public transport optimization;
• Use of renewable energy in transport;
• Energy storage systems for transport in urban areas.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
