Journal overview

Transportation Planning and Technology is a leading and long-established international peer-reviewed journal which publishes cutting-edge research relating to transport systems around the world. It is interdisciplinary in scope, and includes papers on topics relating to all aspects of transport planning and the application of technology to improve transport systems.

The Editorial Board welcome submissions rooted in any disciplinary background or perspective, which use qualitative and/or quantitative methods, and which relate to any or all passenger and freight transport modes in any national or international context. All papers submitted should demonstrate an actual or potential practical contribution to the planning of improved transport systems or the use of technology to improve the functioning of transport systems. Papers which are purely theoretical or focus only on methodological development without a clear link to transport practice will not be considered.

All papers should be based on robust empirical evidence. Papers which are primarily based on the authors’ opinions without presenting a clear framework of analysis will not be considered. Papers may be either generally focused or centred on an individual case study, but in the latter case papers must consider the broader applicability of the research findings.

Topics that are of relevance to the Journal include (but are not limited to):

  • Transport planning methods and processes
  • Travel behaviour
  • Transport demand and supply modelling
  • Transport network planning and modelling
  • Land use-transport interactions
  • Transport and land use planning
  • Economic evaluation and its relationship to planning and policy
  • Traffic engineering and control
  • Transport system technology
  • Intelligent transport systems
  • New transport operational and ownership models (such as Mobility as a Service)
  • Planning and design of transport terminals and interchanges
  • Human factors and transport
  • The interrelationships between transport and other human and natural systems
  • Environmental influences on transport planning
