Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advent of new types and strains of viruses causing infectious diseases makes policymaking around healthcare an absolute imperative. It is self-evident that human mobility and infection spread are interrelated: human mobility has been implicated as a significant component of contagion, while on the other hand, the ensuing public health crisis caused by the pandemic has also impacted long-term mobility trends. This necessitates effective urban transportation planning to ensure public health and wellbeing against future outbreaks. In part, this issue will deal with computational models for transportation management to control the spread of infectious diseases. It will explore the social, demographic, behavioral, and epidemiological aspects of post-pandemic mobility. Finally, it will comment on the economic aspects of urban transportation and a contingency plan to deploy a pool of essential workers to stand in for their peers in the event of outbreaks or meet a surge in demand when lockdown restrictions are lifted. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Epidemic modeling for contact tracing using transportation networks;
- Optimization frameworks for safety-to-mobility trade-off;
- Urban planning for pandemic management;
- Private transportation to mitigate social contact;
- Mobility and social equity;
- Changes in behavior toward public transportation;
- Environmental impacts of post-pandemic transportation alternatives;
- Visualization tools for real-time mobility management.

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. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2500 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.
