Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Transportation is not only essential for societal connectivity and economic growth but this sector is also a significant contributor to energy consumption and environmental impact. To address these challenges, it is crucial for researchers and practitioners to actively explore innovative technologies and strategies that can effectively reduce energy usage in transportation systems. This Special Issue offers experts in the field a unique opportunity to share their most recent advancements, novel methodologies, and compelling case studies focused on energy-saving applications in transportation engineering. By fostering a collaborative environment for knowledge exchange and dissemination, this Special Issue aims to accelerate the development and implementation of sustainable practices in transportation and seeks to highlight the importance of integrating energy-saving approaches into transportation planning, design, and operation, ultimately leading to more efficient and environmentally friendly transportation systems.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome and research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Underground transportation infrastructure;
- Deep excavation;
- Energy saving in intelligent transportation systems;
- Sustainable logistics and freight transportation;
- Transportation system planning, optimization, and humanitarian logistics;
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning applications in transportation;
- Environmental methods in construction and maintenance;
- Energy efficiency improvement in traffic infrastructure.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
