Dear colleagues,
Thank you for your interest in our section collection on Transportation and Transit Systems. This collection aims to provide an open and fair platform for dissemination and active discussion of the most important advances in key transportation and transit systems. The papers in this collection cover a wide range of topics, such as:
The design, operation, and optimization of transportation networks and modes, including road, rail, air, and water transport.
The integration of transportation and transit systems with urban planning, land use, energy, environment, and social aspects.
The development and application of innovative technologies and solutions for transportation and transit systems, such as intelligent transportation systems, autonomous vehicles, electric vehicles, shared mobility, and smart cities.
The analysis and evaluation of transportation and transit systems using various methods and tools, such as simulation, optimization, data analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.
The challenges and opportunities for transportation and transit systems in the context of global trends, such as urbanization, climate change, population growth, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
The summary of our section collection is as follows:
Transportation and transit systems are essential for the movement of people and goods within urban areas and beyond. They have significant impacts on the economy, society, environment, and quality of life of the citizens. However, they also face many challenges due to the increasing demand for mobility, the limited capacity and resources, the complex interactions with other systems, and the uncertainties and risks involved. Therefore, it is important to explore new ideas and approaches for improving the performance, efficiency, sustainability, resilience, and equity of transportation and transit systems. This section collection provides a platform for researchers and practitioners to share their latest findings and insights on various aspects of transportation and transit systems. The papers in this collection address some of the most pressing issues and challenges in this field, as well as propose innovative solutions and best practices for enhancing the current and future transportation and transit systems.
