Abstract

We planned this special issue in response to the new opportunities and innovations for urban transport planning in China all of which can help build the smart transportation systems of the future. In preparation for the special issue, we organized the 19th COTA International Conference of Transportation Professionals (CICTP2019) with the theme of “Transportation in China 2025” in July 2017 and recommended high-quality submissions to this special issue. In the end, we received a total of 24 valid papers. After the standard peer-review process, we accepted eight papers for the special issue, with three focusing on built environment and travel activity, three focusing on road network distribution, and two focusing on data-driven traffic modeling. The special issue also has a well-balanced research focus on different types of transport modes, with two papers on multi-modal transport, three on personal cars, two on public bikes, and one on pedestrians.
