The road sector is the dominant transport mode in terms of demand for both passengers and goods
Li et al, investigated the factors that link driving with vehicle fuel consumption efficiency based on the long-term Controller Area Network (CAN) data collected in Toyota City, Japan
Road transportation is vital for the economy and society because it carries the vast majority of both passengers and goods, and it is an access mode to other transport modes in multimodal trips
Summary
The road sector is the dominant transport mode in terms of demand for both passengers and goods. The Special Issue on Sustainable Road Transportation Planning was inspired to investigate how to face the challenges on emissions reduction and to look ahead for advanced solutions from the planning and operational side. No matter whether transportation services are new or traditional, road planning should consider sustainability targets to improve social, environmental, and economic requirements, meaning low carbon and more efficient transport networks. Under this consideration, 14 papers by authors coming from 11 countries contributed to construct a picture of recent findings and techniques on the road transportation sector toward sustainable planning
