Conference topic details
Transportation Research Part A: Policy & Practice Policy & Practice
TBC
Transportation Research Part B: Methodological Operations Research & Methodologies
The Transportation Research Part B area of the symposium welcomes papers that advance transportation science via methodological means. These include new real-world findings unveiled through the formulation and/or innovative application of rigorous methods – whether experimental or empirical or theoretical.
The emphasis will be on papers that are not purely of an incremental algorithmic nature, but show connections to real-world transportation settings and demonstrate the potential to be scalable.
Contributions may span the entire gamut of transportation topics, including (but not limited to) traffic flow theory, land use-transportation planning, transportation-health, transportation-ecommerce, transportation-tele-activity, emerging mobility technologies, and cooperative control. Methodologies may include (but again not limited to) those related to network dynamics, stochastic mathematics, optimization techniques, scheduling systems, and econometric modeling.
The scientific committee looks forward to abstracts that present the content in a tightly written and cohesive fashion. While it will obviously not be possible to provide substantial technical details in an abstract, a discussion of the potential impact of the method and the analysis will be expected.
Transportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies Implications of Emerging Technologies
The subtopic focuses on applications of emerging technologies or innovative planning or management solutions when applied to transportation systems. The interest is not in the individual technologies per se but in their ultimate implications for the planning, design, operation, control, maintenance, and rehabilitation of transportation systems, services, and components. Integrating quantitative methods from operations research, control systems, complex networks, computer science, and artificial intelligence is encouraged. The impacts of emerging technologies on transportation system performance, e.g., efficiency, safety, reliability, resource consumption, and the environment are particularly interesting. A non-exhaustive list of applications is provided below:
Advanced-Data Processing for Network Monitoring;
Multimodal Transportation Systems and On-demand services;
Traffic and Demand-Management;
Real-time traffic control;
ITS and connected and autonomous vehicles;
Robustness and Resilience in Transportation networks;
Sustainable management and operations.
Transportation Research Part D: Transport & Environment Environment, Equity & Sustainability
The sub-topics of Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment include original research and review articles (excluding bibliometric analysis) on the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to those impacts, and their implications for the design, planning, operation, and management of transportation systems. It covers all modes of transportation and both local and global impacts on the environment.
Articles should be primarily policy-driven rather than method-driven. The emphasis of this sub-topic area is on empirical findings and policy responses of a regulatory, planning, technical or fiscal nature. The area does not consider modeling exercises with numerical examples.
Possible topic areas include various pollutants and emissions, alternative fuel vehicles, travel behavior analysis with environmental implications, emerging transportation technologies with environmental implications, social equity, and subjective well-being. The following areas are out of scope: automotive engineering, fuel additive and combustion experiments, off-road modes (such as mining operation), and safety.
Transportation Research Part E: Logistics & Transportation Review Logistics & Supply-Chain
Logistics and supply chain management are essential for people's daily life and the global economy. Logistics and supply chain research has been active, as new business models are designed, new technologies are applied, and new management problems arise. T
his sub-topic calls for informative and high quality research drawn from across the spectrum of transportation, logistics, and supply chain research. In terms of transportation, both passenger and freight transportation studies are welcome, relating to the transport modes of road, rail, water, air, and multimodality. In terms of logistics, we consider location, routing, scheduling, and warehousing problems. In terms of supply chain management, information sharing, contract design, and inventory management topics are relevant.
We welcome studies using a broad range of research methods, such as optimization, game theory, statistical analysis, machine learning, simulation, and case studies. Research on new technologies’ potential applications to transportation and logistics industries are welcome, such as 3D-printing, edge-computing, and quantum computing.
We also welcome topics that have a broad societal impact, including sustainability in transportation, equity in mobility, and socially-responsible supply chain management.
Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology & Behaviour Safety, Psychology & Behaviour
Transportation Research Part F focuses on the behavioural and psychological aspects of transport, traffic, and mobility needs.
The journal covers the following topics:
On the one hand, it addresses the aspects of mobility related to human decision-making, emotions, motivations, self-regulation according to travel goals, attention, attitudes, learning, skills, etc.
On the other hand, it considers the aspects of mobility related to cooperation among human users of different modes of transport and between transport systems (such as road and rail). This cooperation includes considerations of social and moral norms, legal and political acceptance, trust and mistrust, safety and security, comfort, protection of self and others, empathy, etc.
The growing availability of emerging technologies, such as automated vehicles, connected automated vehicles, and personal mobility devices, plays an increasing role at both individual and collective levels; behavioural adaptation is central to travel experiences.
The scope of the journal also includes risk-taking behaviour among road users, focusing on their antecedents and health consequences at both the individual and societal levels. Road safety now encompasses sustainability, exploring ways to encourage drivers to reduce solo car use, to engage in car sharing, to utilize electric or hybrid vehicles, etc.
The journal devotes considerable attention to road user behaviours, training, and interactions with infrastructure and shared spaces. It also considers specific population groups (including drug-impaired driving, mental health): road professionals, vulnerable road users, children, the aging population, individuals with disabilities, etc.
The aims of the journal are mainly to:
Enhance evidence-based knowledge
Formulate evidence-based recommendations for changing mobility behaviour
Change behaviour through interventions and technology improvement.
Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives General
TRIP (Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives) is an open access journal (IF = 3.9, CS = 12.9) which publishes interdisciplinary research on transportation, bridging novel topics with urgently needed policy and practice relevant studies aimed at management, operations, and user communities across the world.
We welcome papers focused on transportation planning, engineering, and design that address important challenges such as climate change, extreme events, social justice, and the need for improved governance of travel.
In addition to engineering and planning, we look forward to seeing work from scholars, researchers, and practitioners working in developed and emerging markets.
