Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Transportation systems are integral to the development of societies, playing a major role on a socio-economic level. However, although the transport sector possesses a vital role, this does not negate the existence of problems caused by this sector. In and around most big cities, the capacities of the existing road networks are often saturated or even exceeded. An immediate consequence of this is the appearance of enormous problems, congestion being the most influential. This can have negative impacts on society and the environment, such as the loss of time, increased fuel consumption, automobile exhaust pollution, increased product prices, etc. Improving travel efficiency by reducing congestion is tantamount to boosting both production and consumption. One of the best strategies to improve the quality of transport in cities is sustainability in traffic management. Therefore, this Special Issue invites researchers to exchange their experiences and research results on sustainable traffic management and policy planning in relation to city development. High-quality research contributions describing original and unpublished results are cordially invited. This will bring huge benefits to scholars in the field, and provide the opportunity to share and read the latest advances in sustainable traffic management and policy planning in relation to city development.
