At present, transport is one of the key branches playing a crucial role in the development of economy. Reliable and properly organized transport services are required for a professional performance of industry, construction and agriculture. The public mood and efficiency of work also largely depend on the valuable functions of a carefully chosen transport system. A steady increase in transportation is accompanied by growing demands for a higher quality of transport services and optimum efficiency of transport performance. Currently, joint efforts taken by the transport experts and governing institutions of the country are required to develop and enhance the performance of the national transport system conducting theoretical and empirical research. The journal Transport publishes articles in the fields of transport policy, fundamentals of the transport system, technology for carrying passengers and freight using road, railway, inland waterways, sea and air transport, technology for multimodal transportation and logistics, loading technology, roads, railways, airports, ports, pipeline transport, industrial and technological transport, agricultural motor vehicles, traffic safety and environment protection, design, manufacture and exploitation of motor vehicles, transport energetics, fuels, lubricants and maintenance materials, teamwork of customs and transport, insurance, transport information technologies, transport economics and management, transport standards, transport educology, transport history, etc. All papers published in the journal Transport are peer reviewed by the members of the Editorial Board or by the appointed experts.

The focus of Transportation Research: Part C is high-quality, scholarly research that addresses development, applications, and implications, in the field of transportation, of emerging technologies from such fields as operations research, computer science, electronics, control systems, artificial intelligence, and telecommunications, among others. The interest is not in the individual technologies or methodologies per se, but in their ultimate implications for the planning, design, operation, control, management, maintenance and rehabilitation of transportation systems, services and components.Of particular interest are the impacts of emerging technologies on transportation system performance, in terms of level of service, capacity, safety, reliability, resource consumption and the environment, economics and finance, privacy, standards, and liability. Submissions in the following areas of transportation are encouraged by Part C: the impact of emerging technologies for all modes and for intermodal transportation; intelligent transportation systems; real-time operations; logistics; resource management; consumer/traveler adoption, acceptance and usage of new technologies; infrastructure applications of emerging technologies.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
