Impact of COVID-19 on Pedestrian Behavior, Road Safety and Sustainable Transportation

Dear Colleagues,

The coronavirus pandemic has impacted different aspects of life, including transport. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the emphasis has shifted from moving passengers to operating the transportation system in order to ensure that the freight system performs well and key essential workers can travel. This sudden change impacted the sources of revenue for transport operators. Meanwhile, transport organizations are required to plan to ensure that the transportation systems are ready to provide service after the coronavirus pandemic and lockdowns. COVID-19 has direct and indirect impacts on travel behavior, transport demand, and choice of transport mode.

This Special Issue will highlight the impact of COVID-19 on different aspects of transport during COVID-19 and in post-COVID-19 times. We welcome papers on:

• Travel behavior among different age groups and for different trip purposes;
• Mobility challenges for users of different transport modes;
• Mobility preferences (mode and route choice);
• Demand prediction for different transport modes;
• Traffic congestion and road safety challenges;
• Active transport and accessibility attitudes;
• Mode sharing and different users of transport systems;
• Application of smart technologies;
• Challenges in transport systems (e.g., transport infrastructure; transport operation);
• Transport policies and transport economy.
