Transportation Planning and Public Transport

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to bring together emerging research on different transport models to address current and future issues in transportation, transport economics, traffic demand, and transportation resilience. This Special Issue also aims to expand research on public transport systems, such as shared mobility systems and transit services. Submissions should improve our understanding of the sustainability of public transport services in terms of public welfare and social needs. This Special Issue encourages submissions of original research articles that report significant research findings on the following topics:

• transport demand and travel behavior;
• route choice models and traffic assignment;
• shared mobility systems (dial-a-ride, dial-a-bus, and dial-a-flight problems and flying taxis, bikes, buses, subways, car-sharing platforms, and parking mechanisms);
• interaction between public transport and other modes;
• social welfare through public transportation;
• game theory and social choice models in transportation systems;
• clean transport systems (electric taxis, energy consumption, infrastructure charging facilities);
• transport information (travel behavior, weather prediction, demand prediction);
• resilience and recovery of transportation networks;
• freight transport models.
