Call for Paper: Special Issue on Transport Efficiency

“Research in Transportation Business & Management are pleased to announce a Special Issue in Transport Efficiency, edited by Dr Barbara TH Yen and Professor Corinne Mulley.

The information about the journal and the special issue can be seen at https://www.journals.elsevier.com/research-in-transportation-business-and-management/call-for-papers/call-for-papers-for-a-themed-volume-on-transport-efficiency where you can see its most recent impact factor is over 2 which is good for a dedicated transport journal. The call for paper contains more details and proposed timelines.

We are looking for papers that advance the understanding of the following issues:

• Evaluation of different transport infrastructures along with their operating characteristics and the impact on performance evaluation and efficiency measurement;
•  Assessment the efficiency of “new” modes of transport such as ‘demand responsive transit’;
• Assessment of the effects of the external variables (e.g., environment impact) on transport efficiency;
• Novel methods that identify and evaluate transport efficiency;
• Empirical data from different transport fields such as public transport, logistics management, port performance;
• Approaches to specific transport policies related to transport efficiency;
• Analysis and implications of new technologies specifically targeted to improve transport efficiency, for example, autonomous bus, built-in car technologies, new technologies (e.g., real-time information and open data), big data analysis.”
