Sustainable Traffic and Mobility

Dear Colleagues,

The world is witnessing an ever-increasing demand for transportation and mobility solutions that are not only efficient and convenient, but also environmentally sustainable. As we move towards a more sustainable future, it becomes imperative to address the challenges posed by transportation-related emissions, congestion, and resource depletion. To explore innovative approaches and advancements in sustainable transportation and mobility, we are pleased to announce a Special Issue focused on this critical topic.

The Special Issue on Sustainable Transportation and Mobility aims to bring together cutting-edge research and diverse perspectives from scholars, researchers, and practitioners across the globe. We invite original contributions covering, but not limited to, the following topics:

• Green and electric vehicles: Advances in electric and alternative fuel vehicles, charging infrastructure, battery technologies, and energy efficiency measures.
• Public transportation: Innovations in public transport systems, including bus rapid transit, light rail, and shared mobility solutions, to reduce congestion and emissions.
• Active transportation: Studies on walking, cycling, and other non-motorized modes of transport, promoting healthier and eco-friendly options.
• Smart and intelligent transportation systems: Integration of digital technologies, IoT, and data analytics to optimize transportation networks and improve user experience.
• Urban planning and design for sustainable mobility: Research on urban planning, infrastructure development, and policies that prioritize sustainable transportation options.
• Policy and governance: Assessments of governmental policies, regulations, and incentives to accelerate the adoption of sustainable transportation practices.
• Environmental impact and life cycle analysis: Studies examining the life cycle environmental impacts of various transportation modes and technologies.
• Future mobility trends: Exploration of emerging trends, such as autonomous vehicles, hyperloop, and other transformative mobility concepts.
