Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will consist of papers describing the state of the art in road traffic engineering and sustainable transportation systems development. Activities in the field of road traffic engineering, including road traffic analysis and research—as well as the practical application of knowledge about road traffic in the planning, design, and operation of transport systems and processes—contribute to ensuring sustainable transportation systems development. This is achieved by providing conditions for the safe, efficient, and economic transportation of people and goods that does not have a negative impact on the environment.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

-Road traffic measurements, data analysis;
-Road traffic modelling (micro, meso, and macro modeling), simulation models;
-Road and intersection capacity;
-Optimization, route choice;
-Human factor in road traffic and transportation engineering;
-Road traffic safety;
-Pedestrian and bicycle traffic and infrastructure;
-Public transport, parking;
-Contemporary problems of road traffic engineering and sustainable transportation;
-Intelligent transportation systems (ITSs), traffic control, and management;
-Impact of transportation systems;
- Life cycle analysis (LCA) of alternative energy vectors for road vehicles;
-Transport systems and processes modelling;
-Sustainable transportation development;
-Environmental impact, fuel consumption, and emissions.

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 papers will be 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 1900 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.
