Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The spread of new technologies (electric powertrains, autonomous driving, etc.) in private, public, and freight transport put the consolidated relationship between traffic and energy consumption/emissions at stake. In particular, the study of how intelligent transportation systems and technologies can contribute to alleviate energy consumptions and greenhouse gas emissions is of paramount importance. Research in this field is expected to have a big impact on the design and management of more efficient and greener transportation systems and services, as well as on the management of electric power grids.

The identification of the main factors that can impact energy consumption is a key element to reduce road transport externalities on the environment and health.

This Special Issue calls for innovative studies on energy-oriented assessment of emerging transportation systems and technologies. Both methodological and practice-oriented contributions are welcome. Among the topics of interest are: smart and sustainable mobility; smart and sustainable logistics; traffic and energy consumption analysis, simulation, and optimization; intelligent transportation systems, carbon footprint evaluation, and well-to-wheels analysis.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
