Feature Papers in Sustainable Transportation Models and Applications

This special issue belongs to the section “Sustainable Transportation“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Sustainable transport models are a fundamental tool to analyze the behavior of users and goods in transport networks. These models allow the optimization of mobility considering the associated social, economic, and environmental effects.

In this Special Issue, we invite papers related to all transport modes, which propose related mathematical models in the analysis, modeling, or promotion of sustainable mobility in all its aspects. Novel contributions proposing new theoretical insights, method development, or applications are encouraged.

Prof. Dr. Luigi dell’Olio
Guest Editor
