About the Collection

This collection publishes 'Highlights of the 51st European Transport Conference (ETC 2023)'.

Papers selected from ETC 2023 address important challenges faced by the transport sector in the context of changing mobility patterns and needs, emerging technologies, and climate emergency. More specifically, the selected papers cover topics such as:

  • the role of new data sources for travel behaviour analysis;
  • enhanced transport planning tools considering transport/land-use interactions;
  • funding and financial sustainability of transport systems, and
  • perceptions, requirements, and implications of automated and electric mobility

It is worth noticing that this selection covers air, water, and land transport, with a special prevalence of studies focusing on regional or long-haul transport for passengers or freight.
