Call for papers on Themed Volume: Sustainability in Transportation: Innovations in Governance

Introduction

Transport governance involves multiple stakeholders and plays an essential role in bringing urban mobility into a reliable and sustainable future. Currently, urban mobility services that leverage on information and communication technologies (ICT) are changing the mobility. They will not only alter our travel demand patterns but also the allocation of fundamental transport resources, both at the vehicle fleet and infrastructure levels. Subsequently, significant changes are under way in the design of innovative mobility services and policies, in the set-up of new types of experiments, and in the development and integration of new types of models. These bring transport governance innovations in urban mobility development. Therefore, this themed volume is devoted to design and analyze innovative transport governance and provide impact evaluation for achieving sustainable urban mobility development.

The submissions are encouraged to be based on empirical works using either quantitative or qualitative methods techniques. Submissions should be fully grounded in the existing theoretical literature associated with transport governance and, to the extent possible, the practical implications of the findings.

This themed volume will include contributions (but not restricted to) of the 7^thinternational conference on Transportation and Space-Time Economics (TSTE).

This special issue is directly aligned with the journal’s theme of transport governance as it contributes to the body of knowledge and evidence base about how the transport governance would lead to a reliable and sustainable mobility development.

Potential topics include (but not limited to):

·Relations and interaction between policy makers, government departments, infrastructure owners, and the public, especially their behavior responses to transport governance;

·Empirical experiences in the management, delivery and evaluation of innovative mobility services in urban mobility development;

·Equity and efficiency balances for sustainable mobility development, which including connectivity of rural communities, regulation of innovative governance model for equity and reallocation;

·The robustness of urban mobility system and urban traffic network governance;

·How institutional arrangements affect transport governance, development and decision-making;

·The role of politics, power, process, resources and legitimacy in transport governance;

·Data driven social, economic and environmental impacts analyses with emerging modes in urban mobility development.
