Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

 

Sustainable and safe road user behavior research is characterized by multi-disciplinarity. To understand risky behavior and drive positive behavioral changes we need to explore psychological, social, environmental, and technological factors, as well as the interplay between them. The current special issue aims to offer a clear perspective of sustainable and safe behavior of different road users categories (e.g., drivers, powered two-wheelers, cyclists, pedestrians) as well as of passengers in a wide mobility context. Different sustainable mobility options are explored (e.g., active mobility, micromobility, shared mobility, public transport), as well as people’s preference for specific mobility options mainly in urban settings. We anticipate that this special issue will present a variety of studies with a wide range of methods, both qualitative and quantitative.
