About the journal
Transportation Research Part B: Methodological
Transportation Research: Part B publishes papers on all methodological aspects of the subject, especially those which require mathematical analysis. The general theme of the journal is the development and solution of problems which have a substantial connection with real transportation situations. Purely mathematical exercises, which could relate to any kind of network, are excluded. For example, papers on algorithms must show a relevance to transportation.Areas covered include: demand analysis, whether economic or statistical; traffic flow models; design and analysis of transportation networks; methods of operations planning; control and scheduling; optimization in transportation; queuing theory as it applies to transportation; traffic assignment and trip distribution; economic theory
|
Part B's aims and scope are complementary to Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, Part C: Emerging Technologies and Part D: Transport and Environment. The complete set forms the most cohesive and comprehensive reference of current research in transportation science.
Selected abstracts from Transportation Research Part B: Methodological are available on TransportConnect, the Elsevier Science www service for the academic and professional community. |

Instructions to Authors
All authors must sign the 'Transfer of Copyright' agreement before the article can be published. This transfer agreement enables Elsevier Science Ltd to protect the copyrighted material for the authors, but does not relinquish the author's proprietary rights. The copyright transfer covers the exclusive right to reproduce and distribute the article, including reprints, photographic reproductions, microform or any other reproductions of similar nature and translations, and includes the right to adapt the article for use in conjunction with computer systems and programs, including reproduction or publication in machine-readable form and incorporation in retrieval systems. Authors are responsible for obtaining from the copyright holder permission to reproduce any figures for which copyright exists.
Authors are encouraged to submit their manuscripts electronically either to the Editor-in-Chief or to one of the Associate Editors. Manuscripts should be accompanied by a covering letter mentioning the title of the paper and the name of the corresponding author, together with mailing address, telephone and fax numbers and if available e-mail address.
All manuscripts are subject to peer review. In most cases, a written report with at least two referees' reports will be sent to the author within four months from the date the paper is received. If more is needed for review, the author will be sent an up-date on progress at the end of the fourth month after submission.
Special Note for Authors: The evaluation of your manuscript will be considerably expedited if you submit your paper electronically. Please be aware, however, that the full text version may be sent by e-mail to referees. Word for Windows (PC) is preferred. But other formats are acceptable.
Editor-in-Chief
Fred Mannering: all subjects.
Associate Editors
Carlos Daganzo: Logistics, transportation networks.
Frank S. Koppelman: Travel behaviour analysis, demand. Forecasting, econometric and statistical methods.
Nathan H. Gartner: Traffic management and control. Intelligent vehicle-highway systems analysis. Situation and optimization models.
Michael G. H. Bell: Distribution; mode choice and assignment modelling; traffic flow and control; route guidance and dynamic assignment.
Electronic Manuscripts
It is recommended that the final draft of the manuscript be submitted on diskette with two paper copies. Please observe the following criteria: (a) specify what software was used, including which release (e.g. WordPerfect 6.0); (b) specify what computer was used; ( ) include both text file and ASCII file on the disk; (d) the file should be single-spaced and should use wrap-around end-of-the-line feature (i.e. no returns at the end of the line). All textual elements should begin flush left: no paragraph indents. Place two returns after every element such as title, heading, paragraphs, figure and table callouts, etc.; (e) keep a backup disk for reference and safety.
Style of Manuscript
All sections of the manuscript (abstract, text, references) should be double-spaced, using a single typeface and style. Use underlining only for definitions and subsections; do not underline for emphasis. Footnotes should be limited in number and size, and should not contain mathematical expressions.
Figures are photo-reproduced and authors will be required to furnish camera-ready artwork or glossy prints. Each figure should be placed on a separate sheet of paper, and should be of good quality. Lettering which appears on the figure should be of sufficient size to allow for considerable reduction. Write on the back, the figure number and something to identify the manuscript (its number or author(s) last names). The figure captions should be typed on a separate page at the end of the paper.
Tables and their captions should be typed on separate sheets, numbered consecutively and indicated in the text at their approximate position.
The journal uses two levels of headlining: the first ("Sections") is centred, and is all capitals. The second ("Sub-sections") is flush left and is in italics. Normally these are not numbered, but if there are numerous cross-references, which might be needed for example in mathematical proofs, decimal numbering of sections and sub-sections is allowed. Do not under any circumstances use "bullets" (whether oversize dots, or dashes) to set out items in a list. Use (a), (b) ... and if possible incorporate the list into ordinary paragraphing. Do not use ultra-short paragraphs of a single sentence frequently; each paragraph should contain a single idea, not a single remark.
Equations should be clearly displayed, with any unusual symbols (including Greek letters) identified in the margin. Equation numbers should be placed in the right margin and numbered continuously, not by section.
The abstract should describe in straightforward language the contents of the paper, but not its motivation. It should explain briefly the procedures and the results, and must not contain abbreviations and acronyms. After the abstract list up to six keywords.
The Harvard system of references is used. References should conform to the following style.

Proofs
Proofs will be sent to the author (first-named author if no corresponding author is identified on multi-authored papers) by PDF wherever possible and should be returned within 48 hours of receipt, preferably by e-mail. Corrections should be restricted to typesetting errors; any other amendments made may be charged to the author. Any queries should be answered in full. Elsevier will do everything possible to get your article corrected and published as quickly and accurately as possible. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all of your corrections are returned to us in one all-inclusive e-mail or fax. Subsequent additional corrections will not be possible, so please ensure that your first communication is complete.

Reprints
Along with page proofs, the corresponding author will receive a form for ordering reprints and full copies of the issue in which the paper appears. Twenty-five free reprints are provided; orders for additional reprints must be received before printing in order to qualify for lower prepublication rates. All co-author reprint requirements should be included on the reprint order form.
Reprint forms, copyright forms, page proofs and the original manuscript should be returned to: Elsevier Science Ltd, Bampfylde Street, Exeter EX1 2AH, England.
