Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues:
This Special Issue aims to collect all new research and developments related to the topic of traffic psychology in the field of sustainable mobility. As the importance of sustainable transportation continues to grow in the face of environmental concerns and urban congestion, understanding the psychological factors that influence transportation behaviors and choices becomes ever-more important.
In this Special Issue, we seek to consider a wide range of perspectives and methodologies that shed light on various aspects of sustainable transportation and traffic psychology. Original and high-quality research articles are welcome, as they provide empirical investigations and theoretical advancements that contribute to improving our understanding of the psychological factors influencing sustainable mobility. These studies may explore individual attitudes and beliefs regarding sustainable transportation options, factors influencing mode choice and usage patterns, the impact of interventions and incentives on behavioral change, and the role of technology in facilitating sustainable transportation practices. Furthermore, this Special Issue encourages interdisciplinary perspectives regarding sustainable transportation and traffic psychology. Contributions that draw on interdisciplinary frameworks, methodologies, and theories are highly encouraged, as they can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing sustainable transportation choices and behaviors.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following topics: driving emotions, psychological variables related to the propensity of individuals to use or not use sustainable modes of transportation, safety perceptions of soft mobility, decision-making processes, and traffic psychology.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
