Special Issue of Mathematical Problems in Engineering on Transportation Modeling and Management
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a result of population growth and urbanization, almost all big cities over the world face serious problems of traffic congestion. Therefore, it becomes more and more important to model the operations of traffic networks and enhance the performance of transportation systems. At a strategic level, new models are needed to address infrastructural planning, environmental concerns, and safety aspects. At an operational level, new methods are required to improve the management, scheduling, and control of transport flows. Mathematical theories provide important instruments in modeling and managing transportation systems.
In this special issue, we invite original review and research articles that focus on the mathematical methods of modeling and managing transportation systems. The used methods can be mathematical programming, optimization theory, differential equations, game theory, and intelligent algorithms. Topics discussed in this special issue include, but are not limited to the following:
Mathematical programming for traffic assignment and its application
Optimization theory for network design and improvement
Application of game theory in transportation management
Application of differential equations in traffic flow modeling
Calibration of mathematical models with real data
Application of intelligent algorithm in transportation system
