Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mathematical modeling plays a crucial role in understanding, analyzing, and optimizing processes within transport systems. As the transport sector faces increasing demands for safety, efficiency, resilience, and sustainability, the application of advanced mathematical tools is becoming increasingly important. Transport systems are inherently complex and often operate under dynamic, uncertain, or multi-variable conditions, making them ideal candidates for rigorous modeling approaches.
This Special Issue aims to bring together high-quality contributions that demonstrate the development and application of mathematical models and simulations in the field of transport systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: mathematical and geometric modeling; traffic flow and safety analyses; transport network optimization; data-driven decision-making; and the use of soft computing techniques such as fuzzy logic, machine learning, neural networks, or hybrid algorithms. Both theoretical advancements and practical implementations are welcome, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches that bridge mathematics and engineering practice. We invite researchers from academia, industry, and government institutions to submit their original research articles, review papers, or case studies addressing contemporary challenges through modeling in transport systems.

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. Mathematics 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.
