Advanced Modelling Techniques in Transportation Engineering
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced models and analysis techniques have been integrated into all aspects of transportation engineering over the last decade. Data science provides a multitude of ways to expedite the design, planning, operation, and maintenance of transportation infrastructure and systems. Research trends have proven that the estimation accuracy is usually a matter of concern for the transportation engineering discipline, something which becomes even more complex because of the behavioral components of transportation system end-users. This Special Issue aims to act as a collection of the most recent advances in the modelling procedures of transportation-related data, with the aim of optimizing engineering judgement and decision-making procedures. This Special Issue welcomes contributions (articles, reviews, etc.) related, but not limited, to the following aspects:
- Impacts of emerging technologies and mobility services on transportation system performance;
- Road and traffic safety analysis;
- Black spot identification;
- Road material modelling;
- Road resiliency and pavement infrastructure status;
- Long-term pavement performance prediction;
- Methodologies and applications of advanced travel behavior models;
- The use of models for rail and air transport management.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Modelling 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 1200 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.
