Due to the increasing trade volume, the transportation solutions play an important role in accelerating the economic growth of countries. The developed economy allows to open the way for various investments to be made to the country with the high level of prosperity.
In our country, the road transportation have higher ratio than other transportation options by freight and passenger transportation solutions. Thanks to investments made in railway and airline transportation in recent years, these transportation sectors have also been developed. In addition, the increase in trade from Asia to Europe in recent years has become even more important because the geographical location of Türkiye.
The needs on the transportation sector is increasing every year due to increasing population and consumption materials in different countries. Due to the increasing number of vehicles and population density, the energy demands used in the transportation sector are increasing day by day. However, it is very important to make transportation options more efficient due to adverse environmental impacts.
By integrating technological developments in all transportation sectors, the transportation is aimed to be completed more securely, quickly and cheaply. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) applications, which began in 1914 with the use of the first traffic lights in the United States, offer a variety of uses today. Within the scope of vehicle, fleet, logistics and infrastructure operations, it is aimed to provide the requirements and improvements for sector needs. In this context, ITS is aimed to make the transportation sector more efficient and environmentally friendly with applications such as navigation systems, automation systems, vehicle assistance equipments.
Today, some of the Intelligent Transportation Systems applications are traffic forecast, fleet management, weather forecast, route planning, vehicle monitoring systems, accident management, driver assistance systems, image processing and waste energy management. By addressing these topics, our journal aims to cover both industry needs and academic developments.
Our journal, which includes studies carried out within the scope of current topics, uses the double-sided blind refereeing process and the authors do not know the names of the referees and the referees do not know the names of the authors on all the steps of the review process. Our journal, which serves the academic world within the scope of open access policy, does not charge any fees from the authors in the process of accepting and publishing articles. During the article acceptance, the entire publishing process is followed using the DergiPark online system provided by TUBITAK-Ulakbim. Thanks to the infrastructure provided by DergiPark, the articles within our journal aim to enable different audiences to reach by becoming open to national and international access. Moreover, it aims to become the most read magazine in Turkiye and reaches the number of article downloads in the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems scanned in national and international indexes.
Since Intelligent Transportation Systems are interdisciplinary topic and applications inter-sectoral, the Journal aims to make an important contribution to the world of science with its structure concerning logistics, transportation, communication and information fields of Engineering, Technical Sciences, Basic Sciences and Social Sciences. The journal covers the following topics:
• ITS Application Areas
