Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce this Special Issue of the journal Mathematics entitled “Modeling, Control, and Optimization for Transportation Systems”. This Special Issue invites high-quality original research or review papers on the development and application of mathematical models, algorithms, and control strategies to improve the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of transportation networks. The main topics of this Special Issue include but are not limited to: (1) Modeling traffic flow, vehicle behavior, and infrastructure for guiding decisions on how to handle congestion, road closures, or accidents, (2) Control strategies that focus on regulating and managing transportation systems in real-time including optimizing traffic signal timings, controlling traffic flow, vehicle coordination, and managing vehicle routing to prevent congestion, and (3) optimization techniques, such as linear programming, network optimization, and evolutionary algorithms are applied to minimize costs, reduce travel time, and improve environmental impacts, etc.

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. Mathematics 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 2600 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.
