International Journal of Transportation Engineering and Traffic System

International Journal of Transportation Engineering and Traffic System [2456-2343(e)] is a peer-reviewed hybrid open-access journal launched in 2015 that provides a platform that delivers high-impact articles and research reviews in the field of transportation engineering, focusing on railroad, harbors, airport and highway engineering. Journal also covers intelligent transportations system, traffic operations, and control, and other related technological advancements. 

• Highway engineering: geometric design of rural and urban roads, horizontal and vertical alignment, intersection and interchange design, roadside safety and barrier design, drainage of highway facilities, and highway capacity analysis.
• Pavement engineering and materials: flexible and rigid pavement design methods, bituminous mix design and performance, concrete pavement behaviour, unbound and stabilised base materials, recycled and reclaimed paving materials, warm-mix and modified binders, pavement response modelling, and accelerated pavement testing.
• Pavement evaluation and maintenance: non-destructive testing including falling weight deflectometer and ground-penetrating radar, roughness and distress surveys, structural and functional condition assessment, pavement management systems, maintenance and rehabilitation strategy selection, and life cycle cost analysis of pavement interventions.
• Railroad engineering: track structure, ballast, and subgrade behaviour, rail–wheel interaction and track dynamics, track geometry maintenance and tamping, turnouts and special trackwork, high-speed and heavy-haul track design, rail welding and defect management, and railway electrification and traction supply.
• Port and harbour engineering: berth and quay structure design, navigation channel and basin layout, dredging and siltation management, container and bulk terminal design, mooring and fendering systems, and port capacity and berth productivity analysis.
• Airport engineering: runway, taxiway, and apron geometric design, airfield pavement design and evaluation, airside capacity and delay analysis, terminal layout and passenger flow, airport drainage and lighting systems, and airfield maintenance planning.
• Traffic flow theory and modelling: macroscopic and microscopic flow models, heterogeneous and mixed traffic flow under non-lane-based conditions, car-following and lane-changing behaviour, queueing and shockwave analysis, microsimulation model calibration, and capacity estimation under varied conditions.
• Traffic operations and control: signal timing design and coordination, adaptive and responsive control strategies, ramp metering and freeway management, priority systems for transit and emergency vehicles, work zone traffic management, and evaluation of control interventions.
• Traffic safety engineering: crash data analysis and modelling, hotspot identification and countermeasure evaluation, safety under mixed traffic conditions, road safety audits, geometric design and safety performance, and protection of vulnerable road users.
• Intelligent transportation systems: vehicle detection and sensing technologies, connected and cooperative vehicle infrastructure, traffic surveillance and data fusion, real-time information systems, automated enforcement, and machine learning applications in traffic operations.
• Construction and maintenance of transport infrastructure: construction methods for roads, track, and airfields, quality control during construction, staged construction and traffic accommodation, asset condition monitoring, and rehabilitation of ageing transport assets.
• Computational and analytical methods: finite element and numerical modelling of infrastructure response, optimisation of design and maintenance decisions, stochastic modelling of network performance, and data-driven prediction of infrastructure deterioration.
