Aims and Scope

The IJTDI focuses on urban and road transportation, maritime and fluvial transport, rail and aviation, as well as logistics, optimization, and complex systems. Integration is necessary to improve energy efficiency and safety by combining transportation with telecommunications and IT. The Journal welcomes contributions on advanced railways, marine and fluvial transport, air freight and passenger transportation, and airport facility development. Environmental, ecological, social, and economic factors are considered when determining new airport locations.
