Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reducing pollutant emissions from urban, suburban, and long-distance mobility is one of the goals for creating fully sustainable economies and perspectives for a future safe commonwealth. Congestion and emissions jeopardize world goals for competitive and resource-efficient transport systems woven into the society. Clean and smart mobility has become an important factor for societies to flourish economically and socially, with a high quality of life when considering the environment. The transition towards greener and smarter mobility is built on a few key assumptions. The first is wise adaption of the existing infrastructure to new mobility needs in the context of the increase in wealth and the image of completely accessible world that is consolidated in the consciousness of modern societies. The second is the low- and zero-emission transport systems when considering not only the emission from vehicles but also the total carbon footprint. Third is the safety of people and the environment. Fourth is the multimodality of transport extended to synchromodal transport solutions. Fifth is new business models and services for transport. The last is reliable information embracing all previous assumptions, not only for regular planning but also for crisis and risk engineering. Research and innovation play a key role in developing and implementing the next-generation solutions in these areas onto the market. This Special Issue aims to combine innovations covering different aspects of transport systems into one picture for a new look at mobility. We hope this is of interest to you and that hope that you will contribute to this picture!
