Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to announce a new Special Issue of the journal Sustainability entitled "Transport Planning and Governance for Resilient Cities".
Transportation systems face increasing threats from disasters, including hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes, and recurring disruptive events, such as traffic accidents, rainfalls, and lane closures on highways. These disaster events may damage traffic infrastructures, stimulate large-scale evacuations, and cause congestion and chaos, which bring tremendous challenges to the efficient management and sustainable development of transportation systems. In recent decades, researchers have been interested in planning and operating transportation systems from the perspective of resilience. Scientific endeavors to explore this research topic are crucial to the safety and management of urban transportation systems. A large number of new perspectives and methods of transportation resilience have appeared.
The Special Issue aims to gain insights into the sustainable development of urban transportation systems. We encourage researchers to contribute original and innovative research on methods, technologies, perspectives, and policies on transport planning and governance for resilient cities.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Data analysis in transportation resilience;
- Transport planning method for resilient cities;
- Traffic control and management to enhance city resilience;
- Policies for city transportation resilience enhancement;
- Reviews and case studies on urban transport resilience.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
