This book focuses on aspects related to new perspectives and challenges in traffic and transportation engineering supporting energy saving in smart cities. Transportation, like other spheres of human activity, is constantly changing due to economic development. People are constantly improving the ways of moving using various energy sources, expanding infrastructures, and adapting cities to increasing traffic volumes. Many of the contents presented in this book are characterized by a multidisciplinary approach to a global problem. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: road traffic measurements
data analysis
road traffic (micro-, meso-, macro-) modeling
simulation models
road and intersection capacity
optimization, route choice
human factor in road traffic and transportation engineering
road safety
pedestrian and bicycle traffic and infrastructure
public transportation solutions
parking issues
contemporary problems of road traffic engineering and sustainable transportation
intelligent transportation systems (ITS)
traffic control and management
smart grid services
electric mobility
environmental impacts of transportation systems
life cycle analysis (LCA) of alternative energy vectors for road vehicles
transportation systems and process modeling
sustainable transportation development
life cycle impact
fuel consumption
and emissions.
