Trends in Transport Engineering and Applications

Trends in Transport Engineering and Applications [2394-7284(e)] is a peer-reviewed hybrid open-access journal launched in 2014 that Invites High-Quality Scholarly explorations and discussions, involving the latest advancements in transportation technology and engineering. Subject areas suitable for publication include but are not limited to the following fields.

• Transportation planning and travel demand: travel demand modelling and forecasting, activity-based and agent-based models, land use and transport interaction, accessibility analysis, network design and assignment, mobility and travel behaviour, and transport equity and social impact assessment.
• Traffic engineering and operations: traffic flow theory and simulation, capacity and level of service analysis, signal design and optimisation, intersection and corridor performance, congestion management, work zone and incident management, and traffic data collection and analytics.
• Highway and pavement engineering: geometric design of roads, flexible and rigid pavement design, pavement materials and characterisation, recycled and sustainable paving materials, non-destructive testing and quality control, pavement condition evaluation, and maintenance and rehabilitation strategies.
• Railway engineering: track structure, subgrade, and geometry, vehicle–track coupling dynamics, rolling stock design and performance, rail electrification, signalling and train control, capacity and timetable planning, maintenance and asset management of rail infrastructure, and inspection and condition monitoring.
• Public transport and urban mobility: bus, metro, and tram system planning, urban rail transit flow theory and operation, scheduling and crew planning, fare policy and revenue management, first- and last-mile connectivity, pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, and shared and micro-mobility services.
• Intelligent transportation systems: connected and cooperative vehicle systems, traffic surveillance and sensor networks, real-time information and traveller services, adaptive control and automation, data fusion and machine learning for transport, and digital twins for transport networks.
• Transport safety: crash data analysis and modelling, road safety audits and countermeasure evaluation, rail and aviation safety systems, human factors and driver behaviour, vulnerable road user protection, and risk assessment across modes.
• Freight transport and logistics: freight demand modelling, urban freight and last-mile delivery, intermodal and multimodal terminal operations, supply chain and distribution networks, port and inland terminal logistics, and pipeline transport systems.
• Airports, ports, and terminals: terminal capacity and passenger flow, airside and landside operations, airport and port infrastructure design, maritime traffic management, and interchange and terminal facility planning.
• Emerging vehicle and propulsion technologies: electric and hydrogen vehicle integration, charging infrastructure planning, autonomous vehicle deployment and network effects, magnetic levitation and evacuated tube systems, and the transport implications of new vehicle technologies.
• Transport economics, policy, and management: investment appraisal and cost–benefit analysis, pricing, tolling, and demand management, regulation and institutional frameworks, public–private partnerships, transport project management and delivery, and performance measurement of transport agencies.
• Environment and sustainability in transport: emissions modelling and air quality impacts, noise and vibration from transport, energy efficiency and decarbonisation pathways, climate resilience of transport infrastructure, and life cycle assessment of transport systems.
