Description:
Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment publishes original research on the
environmental impacts of
transportation,
policy responses to those impacts, and their implications for the design, planning, and management of
transportation
systems. It covers all aspects of the interaction between transportation and the environment. For example, it includes papers ranging
in their coverage from the local and immediate effects of transportation networks on the environments of specific geographical areas,
to the widest global implications of natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution.
The journal invites
submissions
of research papers on all modes of transportation, including maritime and air transportation as well as land transportation, and considers
their impacts on the environment in the broad sense. Papers dealing with both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered.
The emphasis of the journal is on empirical findings and policy responses of a regulatory, planning, technical or fiscal nature. Articles
are primarily policy-driven and should be relevant and applied as well as being accessible to readers from a wide range of disciplines.
There are no disciplinary boundaries to work considered and submissions of an interdisciplinary nature are welcomed. Equally, the journal
is fully international in its orientation and invites contributions from economically developing, as well as more economically advanced,
countries.
Part D's aims and scope are complementary to
Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, Part B:
Methodological and
Part C: Emerging Technologies. The complete set forms the most cohesive and comprehensive reference
of current research in transportation science.
