About the journal
Transportation Planning and Technology
|
Section A Transportation Planning and Technology presents papers covering transport demand models, land use forecasting models, economic evaluation and its relationship to policy in both developed and developing countries, conventional and possibly unconventional future systems technology, urban and interurban transport terminals and interchanges and environmental aspects associated with transport (particularly those relating to noise, pollution and the movement of hazardous materials) as well as more narrowly focused technical papers. Considerable emphasis is placed on work relating to the interface between transportation planning and technology, economics, land use planning, and policy. The journal contains in-depth state-of-the-art papers on transport topics. |
 | Section B Specialized Transportation Planning and Practice is concerned with issues affecting the mobility of special groups in society for whom traditional transportation programs and services are now well designed or deemed suitable. These special groups, increasingly referred to as the transportation disadvantaged, include the elderly, the physically and emotionally impaired, and families with low incomes. The intent of this section is to contribute to improving the mobility of special groups. To that end, this section gathers and disseminates soundly based knowledge on the transportation disadvantaged, derived from research, service methods demonstrations, documented experiences from the field, advances in transport-related technology, and changes in public policy as a result of legislative action, administrative regulations or judicial decisions.
Instructions to Authors
Papers should be typed with double spacing on good quality paper and submitted in triplicate to one of the editors. Xerox copies are acceptable, but carbons or handwritten copy cannot be accepted. Submission of a paper to this journal will be taken to imply that it represents original work not normally previously published, that it is not being considered elsewhere for publication, and that if accepted for publication it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in any language, without the consent of editor and publisher. It is a condition of acceptance by the editor of a typescript for publication that the publisher acquires automatically the copyright of the typescript throughout the world. Papers previously circulated as reports or conference proceedings, but not available to a wide audience, may be considered for publication at the discretion of the editors.
Length: The maximum length is 10,000 words (5000 preferred).
Language: Papers are accepted only in English.
Abstract: Each paper requires an abstract of 100-150 words summarizing the significant coverage and findings.
Key Words: Up to six key words (index words) should be provided by the author. These will be published at the front of the papers to assist indexing and information-retrieval systems.
FIGURES
All figures should be numbered with consecutive arabic numbers, have descriptive captions and be mentioned in the text. An approximate position for each figure should be indicated in the margin.
Preparation: Figures submitted must be of high enough standard for direct reproduction (otherwise authors will be charged for the preparation of drawings). Line drawings should be prepared in black (india) ink on white art paper or tracing paper, with all lettering and symbols included. Alternatively, good sharp photographs (bromides) are acceptable. Photographs intended for halftone reproduction must be good glossy original prints, of maximum contrast. Each figure should be clearly labelled with the author's name and figure number.
Size: Figures should be planned so that they reduce to 71/2 cm column width. The preferred width of submitted line drawings is 12-15 cm, with lettering 4 mm high, for reduction by one-half. Photographs for halftone reproduction should be approximately twice the desired size.
Captions: A list of figure captions should be typed on a separate sheet and included with the typescript.
EQUATIONS
Whenever possible, mathematical equations should be typewritten, with subscripts and superscripts clearly shown. It is helpful to identify unusual or ambiguous symbols in the margin when they first occur. To simplify typesetting, please use fractional exponent instead of root signs, and use the solidus (/) in simple fractions.
Marking: The printer normally sets mathematical symbols in italics, except for obvious groups like sin and log. Any symbols that are to be left in roman (upright) type should be encircled in pencil in the manuscript; bold symbols should be underlined with a wavy line.
TABLES
Number tables consecutively with arabic numerals and give each a clear descriptive caption. Avoid the use of vertical rules in tables.
UNITS
Metric units are preferred. If other units are used, they must conform to standard practice.
REFERENCES AND NOTES
References and notes are indicated in the text by consecutive superior arabic number (without parentheses). The full list should be collected and typed at the end of the paper in numerical order. Listed references should be complete in all details including, in quotes, article titles in journals. Authors' initials should precede their names; journal titles should be given in full. Examples:
1. M. Wohl and B. Martin, Traffic System Analysis for Engineers and Planners. McGraw-Hill, London, 1967
2. H. R. Ross, New transport technology for the big city. New Scientist 33 (531), 208-212 (1967).
TEXT HEADINGS
All headings in the text should be set over to the left-hand margin, and the text should begin on the next line. Type first level (sectional) headings all capitals. Second level headings should be typed in small (lower case) letters, but with the first letter of each main word a capital. For third level headings, only the first letter of the first word should be a capital. Underline second and third level headings.
PROOFS
Authors will receive page proofs (including figures) by air mail for correction, which should be mailed back to the printer within 48 hours of receipt. Please ensure that a full postal address is given on the first page of the typescript, so that proofs arrive without delay.
Early Electronic Offprints:
Corresponding authors can now receive their article by e-mail as a complete PDF. This allows the author to print up to 50 copies, free of charge, and disseminate them to colleagues. In many cases this facility will be available up to two weeks prior to publication. Or, alternatively, corresponding authors will receive the traditional 50 offprints. A copy of the journal will be sent by post to all corresponding authors after publication. Additional copies of the journal can be purchased at the author's preferential rate of ?5.00/$25.00 per copy.
REPRINTS
Reprints may be ordered by completing the appropriate form sent with proofs.
PAGE CHARGES
There are no page charges to individuals or to institutions.
