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.

Vehicle System Dynamics is an international journal, providing a source of information for the vehicle engineer and the applied scientist. The journal emphasizes the theoretical background of research and development problems of all kinds of road, rail and other ground based vehicles. Main topics are: * Dynamics of vehicle systems and their components including suspension, steering, braking, chassis systems, noise-vibration-harshness, power train * Control of motion and forces affecting vehicle behaviour * Computer aided modelling and simulation, validation, parameter identification and testing, driver modelling * Vehicle interactions with the environment including wheel-rail and tyre-ground behaviour * Active Safety Systems including collision and derailment warning, avoidance and mitigation * Intelligent vehicles, guided vehicles, automated traffic systems related to vehicle dynamics, unconventional vehicles All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees. Authors are advised that all papers submitted to Vehicle Dynamic Systems must fit the following criteria: * Address a topic related to both vehicle systems AND dynamics * Relate to the dynamics of the vehicle and its environment * Provide archivable technical information of interest to the vehicle system dynamics community.

The aim of the journal is to publish high quality peer–reviewed papers in the area of vehicular communications. The scope encompasses all types of communications involving vehicles, including vehicle–to–vehicle and vehicle–to–infrastructure. The scope includes (but not limited to) the following topics related to vehicular communications:

• Vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure communications
• Channel modelling, modulating and coding
• Congestion Control and scalability issues
• Protocol design, testing and verification
• Routing in vehicular networks
• Security issues and countermeasures
• Deployment and field testing
• Reducing energy consumption and enhancing safety of vehicles
• Wireless in–car networks
• Data collection and dissemination methods
• Mobility and handover issues
• Safety and driver assistance applications
• Standardization of protocols
