主题范围

Our collective actions over the next decades will determine whether society can maintain a path to avoid the most devastating effects of climate change. Shifting our transportation systems away from carbon-intensive energy and materials remains key. Resources needed to spur this transition are more readily available than ever before, and many solutions already exist.

Yet, there are numerous technological, infrastructural, and political barriers to achieving carbon neutrality and climate resiliency. These barriers also inhibit our abilities to minimize the impact transportation systems have on local communities. As scientists and engineers, we play a critical role in characterizing these ‘grand challenges,’ devising measurements to improve resource prioritization, and launching tools to facilitate mitigation efforts.

We invite contributions that focus on identifying and overcoming current headwinds for proliferating sustainable transportation systems by 2050. The intent of this special issue is to push forward quantitative and qualitative research to provide community and industry leaders with the right mental models for anticipating the needs of the future and preparing for action.

We encourage submissions from across disciplines and methodologies, covering the following topic areas:

  • Low-Carbon Transport Modes and Fuels (e.g., sustainable aviation fuels)
  • Climate Aware Transportation Networks
  • Net Zero Pathways for Transportation
  • Sustainable Infrastructure Materials
  • Urban Mobility and Goods Movement
  • Freight Transportation and Global Trade
  • Supply-Chain Decarbonization
  • Local Community Impacts (e.g., PM for health of people, and other criteria air pollutants)
  • Carbon Measurement (e.g., Life Cycle Assessment, Material Flow Analysis, etc.)
  • Innovation and “Moonshots”
  • Marginal Abatement Assessments / Cost Analysis
  • Optimization and Mathematical Modeling
  • Scenario Tools
  • Policy Analysis
  • Critical Reviews / Perspectives
