Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the emergence of extreme climate change and the increasing traffic load in recent years, the performance requirements for transportation infrastructure materials are increasing. Sustainable Transportation Infrastructures have attracted much attention from the research community and industry. Generally, the performance and the carbon emissions would trip over each other. Traditional research methods based on macroscopic mechanical properties can barely meet the requirements of high-performance and low-carbon transportation infrastructure. With the development of low-carbon technology in recent years have come methods to evaluate the carbon emission of transportation infrastructure in the whole life cycle. Combined with multiscale performance testing, the balance between the performance and low-carbon emissions in the design of transportation infrastructure would be the future.
This Special Issue encourages submissions of recent work that furthers an understanding of the durability and low-carbon emissions for transportation infrastructure. This Special Issue also lays out an interdisciplinary framework that not only aims to advance specific areas of science and engineering but also to help advance the state of practice in transportation engineering. Review articles that describe the current state-of-the-art are also encouraged.

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 2400 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.
