Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing global concern over environmental sustainability has precipitated a paradigm shift in the realm of transportation, emphasizing the need for innovative solutions that harmonize human mobility with ecological balance. The nexus between Sustainable Transportation, Human–Computer Interaction (HCI), and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is emerging as a pivotal area of research. As our societies grapple with the ecological repercussions of traditional transportation modes, the scientific community is compelled to explore and develop intelligent, user-centric approaches that can redefine the future of mobility.
This Special Issue aspires to be a vanguard in advancing knowledge at the confluence of Sustainable Transportation, HCI, and ITS. Our primary objective is to spotlight research that not only elucidates the complexities of this interdisciplinary field but also offers pragmatic solutions for sustainable mobility. By showcasing studies that bridge the gap between technological innovation and user experience, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of how HCI and intelligent systems can be leveraged to mitigate environmental impact while enhancing the efficiency and accessibility of transportation.
We are inviting you to contribute to this Special Issue original research articles and reviews on research areas including (but not limited to) the following:
(a) User-Centric Design for Sustainable Mobility: Exploring interfaces and design principles that prioritize user experience while promoting environmentally conscious transportation choices;
(b) Intelligent Transportation Systems and Environmental Impact: Investigating the role of ITS in optimizing traffic flow, reducing emissions, and enhancing overall transportation sustainability;
(c) Data Analytics and Decision Support Systems: Harnessing big data to inform sustainable transportation policies and empower users with intelligent decision-making tools;
(d) Smart Infrastructure for Sustainable Cities: Examining the integration of smart technologies in urban planning to create eco-friendly, efficient transportation networks;
(e) Human Factors in Sustainable Transportation: Understanding the psychological and social dimensions that influence user acceptance and behavior in the context of sustainable transportation solutions.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
