Innovation Transport Technologies and Urban Modelling (ITTUM) is an international peer-reviewed open-access scientific journal aimed at promoting the dissemination of innovative research in the fields of intelligent transport systems, sustainable urban mobility, digital logistics, and transport modelling.

The journal’s mission is to support scientific exchange and practical implementation of modern transport innovations and digital technologies in urban environments to improve efficiency, sustainability, and quality of life in cities.

Target Audience

The publication is intended for:

• researchers, lecturers, and scholars in the fields of transport, logistics, and urban studies;

• PhD students, master’s students, and undergraduates in engineering and transport-related disciplines;

• professionals working in intelligent transport systems (ITS) and urban planning;

• representatives of municipalities, transport companies, and consulting firms;

• participants of projects under Erasmus+, Horizon Europe, Interreg, and similar initiatives.

The journal welcomes both theoretical and applied research that has practical relevance to urban mobility, sustainable transport development, and digitalization.

All modes of transport:

• Urban and interurban road transport

• Railway transport and high-speed rail systems

• Air transport and airport operations

• Maritime and inland waterway transport

• Public transportation and paratransit systems

• Non-motorized transport (cycling, walking)

• Freight and logistics transport, last-mile delivery

• Multimodal and intermodal transport systems

 Transport infrastructure:

• Road networks, rail tracks, ports, and airports

• Intelligent infrastructure and connected systems

• Transport hubs and terminals

• Urban mobility infrastructure (bike lanes, pedestrian zones)

• Smart charging and fueling stations for e-mobility

• Infrastructure resilience and sustainability modeling

Thematic focus areas:

• Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)
