Dear Colleagues,

This rapidly urbanizing world is undergoing significant transformations due to technological advancements. Emerging technologies present unique opportunities to reimagine urban transportation systems. Correspondingly, coupling them with innovative planning, policies, and strategies in the realm of transportation has never been more crucial. However, there are urgent yet under-researched issues at the intersection of smart transportation, urban planning, and sustainability. This Special Issue aims to address this gap by inviting submissions that delve into innovative practices that turn technologies into smart, sustainable solutions to achieve positive societal outcomes, such as reduced congestion, productive workforce, equitable access to mobility services, reduced emissions and accidents, and enhanced quality of life.

As transportation shall serve as an enabler and facilitator of opportunities for all, we encourage submissions that employ interdisciplinary approaches, actively engage with communities, and benefit under-served populations. Invited topics include, but are not limited to, autonomous vehicles, micro-transit, micro-mobility, shared mobility, infrastructure for electric vehicles, affordable and equitable access, health and well-being, behavioral aspects, integrated planning, safety, multimodal integration, post-pandemic public transportation, climate resilience, congestion mitigation, and emission reduction.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Wei Li
Guest Editor
