Elsevier’s Transportation Research (TR) family of journals covers scientific and practical aspects of transportation research. TRS is an international conference organised by the TR editors and is equally comprehensive in scope. Other Elsevier transport journal editors will organise themed sessions within TRS.

The program will include numerous ‘Meet the Editor’ sessions and other special events.

The TR journals provide the core structure of the conference. By their subject scope, they serve as ‘umbrellas’ for six broad topic areas, with the comprehensive-scope seventh (TRIP – ‘General’) serving to ensure there are no gaps. All transportation topics are in the scope of the conference and will be accommodated within an appropriate topic area, as will any special sessions run by other journals.

Special Issues – information for authors

We anticipate several Special Issues to come out of this conference, more details will follow at a later date once this is confirmed. The calls for papers will be shared on individual journal websites, as well as this page here abre em uma nova guia/janela.

We also plan to publish the conference proceedings in Transportation Research Procedia abre em uma nova guia/janela.

Many of the associated journals are indexed in Scopus and SSCI/SCIE, and the Procedia is indexed in CPCI, the Conference Proceedings Citation Index. Please check the journal homepages for exact information on indexing services.

The Transportation Research family of journals forms the most cohesive and comprehensive reference of current research in transportation science.

Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives (TRIP) abre em uma nova guia/janela is an addition to the family which accepts papers on any topic within the scope of any of Parts A-F. It is an interdisciplinary journal concerned with any and all social science aspects of transportation.

Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice abre em uma nova guia/janela considers papers dealing with policy analysis (design, formulation and evaluation); planning; interaction with the political, socioeconomic and physical environments; and management and evaluation of transport systems.

Transportation Research Part B: Methodological abre em uma nova guia/janela publishes papers on all methodological aspects of the subject, particularly those that require mathematical analysis. The general theme of the journal is the development and solution of problems that are adequately motivated to deal with important aspects of the design and/or analysis of transportation systems.

The focus of Transportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies abre em uma nova guia/janela is high-quality, scholarly research that addresses development, applications, and implications, in the field of transportation systems and emerging technologies.

Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment abre em uma nova guia/janela publishes original research on the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to those impacts, and their implications for the design, planning, and management of transportation systems.
