Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Many different layouts and sizes can be used to design modern roundabouts. The type of roundabout is determined by various factors, such as space availability, traffic volume, expected and-users, location, etc. Roundabouts are often used to improve traffic safety and capacity in urban and rural areas and can also be employed as a measure for traffic calming instead of signal-controlled intersections.
This Special Issue will consist of papers describing the synthesis of current theory and practice of planning, design, operation, and safety of modern roundabouts, with special attention on future challenges and will be of interest to scientists dealing with roundabouts problems and issues and generally involved in road traffic engineering as well as design, traffic, and maintenance engineers. Other major areas of interest with regard to roundabouts include but are not limited to:
- Efficiency evaluation;
- Traffic capacities and delays;
- Issues related to pedestrians, bicyclists, and visually impaired users;
- Costs and location criteria;
- Road traffic measurements, data analysis;
- Traffic flow modeling;
- Signing and pavement markings;
- Signalized roundabouts;
- Experimental analysis for roundabouts;
- Autonomous vehicles on roundabouts;
- Driver behavior patterns on roundabouts;
- Conflicts at roundabouts.

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. Sustainability 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 2200 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.
