Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is a great pleasure for me to address the field of road safety and sustainable transportation and to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue “Transport Flow, Road Safety, and Sustainable Transportation”.

Road safety and sustainable mobility are two key issues of road transport systems and should be considered integral parts of the whole process of planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance and use of the road system.

A safe road transportation system based on the concepts of Vision Zero, Toward Zero, or Sustainable Safety considers human life the first and most important factor in the design of a road transportation system. In addition, the design and operation of a road transport system continues to be a major challenge for engineers and researchers. Recently, the concept of sustainable safe road design has been defined and the related methods have been greatly improved, positively affecting the decrease in traffic fatalities and injuries. Therefore, this Special Issue provides researchers and readers with an insight into some key issues in road safety and sustainable transportation, ranging from road design to driver behavior and human factor challenges associated with progress in the field of sustainable and safe mobility. Of particular interest are original and/or review papers addressing (but not limited to) the following topics:

  • Safe roads and infrastructure;
  • Methods and models for predicting road safety;
  • Human factors for motorized and vulnerable road users;
  • Concepts and approaches for a sustainable mobility;
  • Innovative road infrastructure to increase vulnerable road users’ safety;
  • Sustainable concepts in road design.
