Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mobility patterns, the result of individual and household travel related decisions, have strong implications on sustainability. These range from emissions of both greenhouse gases to several other pollutants and economic implications (namely congestion among other effects) and social implications (namely segregation, wellbeing, and community cohesion).
Travel behavior decisions encompass a multitude of decisions ranging from residential and location choices, possession of mobility tools (e.g., car ownership, transit season tickets), and longer term decisions that shape a variety of decisions related with daily trip making, namely the amount of travel, mode choice, trip scheduling, trip complexity, etc. Travel behavior is also influenced by several socioeconomic and sociopsychological individual and household traits as well by policymaking.
This special issue focuses on the implications of travel behavior and its determinants on sustainability, both from environmental, economic and social perspectives. Papers focusing on identifying the role of determinants, socioeconomic, sociopsychological and policy, of travel behavior and its implications on sustainability are welcome as well as papers focusing on travel behavioral change aimed at achieving sustainable mobility.
