Special Issue on Sustainable Urban Transportation

Sustainable Urban Transportation focuses on planning, designing, and managing urban mobility systems that balance efficiency, accessibility, and environmental responsibility. This field explores public transit optimization, non-motorized transport, traffic demand management, low-emission vehicles, and smart mobility technologies to reduce congestion, greenhouse gas emissions, and resource consumption. By integrating urban planning, transportation engineering, policy analysis, and behavioral studies, sustainable urban transportation aims to create resilient, inclusive, and livable cities while supporting economic development and social equity.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Sustainable Urban Transportation. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Public transit planning and optimization
• Non-motorized transport systems (walking and cycling)
• Traffic demand management and congestion mitigation
• Intelligent transportation systems and smart mobility
• Low-emission and electric vehicle integration
• Urban transport policy and governance
• Sustainable transport infrastructure design
• Transport energy efficiency and emissions reduction
• Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) and digital platforms
• Freight and logistics optimization in urban areas
• Behavioral studies of travel patterns and modal choice
• Accessibility and equity in urban transportation
• Multimodal transport networks and integration
• Parking management and curb space optimization
• Urban transport resilience and climate adaptation
• Transportation system performance monitoring and evaluation

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Sustainable Urban Transportation” should be selected during your submission.
