Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Road traffic safety is a global public health and development concern. More than a million people die each year on the world’s roads. The severe road traffic safety situation has attracted the attention of a large number of scholars. As the most important cause of road traffic crashes, research into human factors in traffic safety is also receiving more and more attention. In recent years, the advances in analytical methods and research tools have allowed researchers to provide insights into the complex interactions of the traveller, vehicle, roadway and environment. The development of science and technology such as intelligent transportation systems and autonomous driving technology has also proposed new solutions for road traffic safety issues. However, at the same time, road traffic safety confronts critical complex traffic scenarios and new safety challenges, e.g., driving behavior in intelligent and connected environments, as well as travel behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic, which attracts increasing attention from academia and industry. These are some of the great opportunities and challenges for the study of travel behavior and traffic psychology.
Therefore, the journal IJERPH propose a Special Issue on the ‘Advances in Travel Behavior and Road Traffic Safety’. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers, developers and practitioners from both academia and industry to explore the latest findings in the fields of driving behavior, riding behavior and pedestrians’ behavior by employing advanced approaches, theoretical models and new perspectives. Original research and review articles related to the advances in travel behavior and road traffic safety will be considered. All aspects of statistical analyses, machine learning, driving simulator experiments, and naturalistic driving experiments are of interest.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Application of advanced theoretical models, new traffic signal control technologies in travel behavior and traffic safety research;
- Emerging approaches and advanced theoretical models in road traffic crash analysis;
- Research on driver/rider/pedestrians’ travel behavior in special environments such as COVID-19, intelligent and connected environment;
- Research on the risky traffic behavior of drivers, riders and pedestrians;
- Interaction behavior between drivers and other traffic participants, especially in intelligent and connected environments;
- Driving behavior and traffic safety related to intelligent and connected vehicles;
- Optimization design of road traffic facilities based on travel behaviors;
- New theories of traffic safety evaluation considering driver factors and traffic facilities;
- Advanced prediction models for the prediction of crash risk, traffic state, vehicle motion and travel behavior.

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.
