Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Most of the energy consumption and emissions generated by transportation are in the transportation process or in the individual travel process. Therefore, we should pay more attention to how to reduce energy consumption and emissions in the transportation or individual travel processes. This Special Issue focuses on the individual travel mode, the choice of travel time or time of choice, travel path planning and driving behavior, the influence of energy consumption and emissions, and how to reduce energy consumption and emissions, such as through the use of travel planning or induction systems, system development, the design of related research, etc. This Special Issue also focuses on the impact of transportation organizations on energy consumption and emissions, as well as how to reduce energy consumption and emissions, such as through the selection of transportation vehicles, travel path planning, e-commerce platforms, etc. The Special Issue also covers the impact of energy conservation and emission reduction policies on the organization of travel and transportation and the measurement of the effects of energy conservation and emission reduction.
