The European Transport Research Review - An Open Access Journal (ETRR) is an online scientific platform in order to disseminate research results in the field of transport. The main scope and mission of the Journal is to provide a forum for the publication of high quality scientific papers in the field of transport in general, and a dissemination medium for new ideas and developments that originate in, or are of interest to, the European transport research community. There are three aspects of the Journal's concept that mark a distinct difference to the other journals in the field of transport; first, it is the open access configuration that makes it easily and widely available through the internet with a minimum of constraints and costs; second, it provides focus on issues of special interest to European transport research, its funding bodies and supervising organisations; third, it is clearly oriented towards researchers and practitioners as well. The Journal is intended for a very broad audience, including:

• Researchers, professionals and practitioners interested in the different issues and aspects of transport in Europe
• Technology researchers, professionals and practitioners involved in the design of transport-related services and interactive systems
• Industrial practitioners interested in the integration of research outcomes in mainstream transport applications and services
• Policy makers involved in the research and technological development, standardisation, legislation, innovation and technology transfer activities in the context of the transport

The Journal has been established in 2008 by the European Conference of Transport Research Institutes (ECTRI). Main areas Contributors are advised to submit papers that fit at least in one of the following main areas of interest identified by the Journal:

• Freight transport and logistics
• Mobility and transport behaviour
• Safety and security
• Transport and economics
• Transport and the environment
• Transport infrastructure
• Transport planning and policy
• Transport system management
• Vehicle technology

However, the Editorial Board shall also consider papers that are not directly related to these areas, but are considered of interest or of particular concern to the aims and goals of the Journal.
