交通研究C部分的重點(diǎn)是高質(zhì)量的學(xué)術(shù)研究，它涉及交通領(lǐng)域中來自運(yùn)籌學(xué)、計算機(jī)科學(xué)、電子、控制系統(tǒng)、人工智能和電信等領(lǐng)域的新興技術(shù)的發(fā)展、應(yīng)用和影響。其興趣不在于單個技術(shù)或方法本身，而在于它們對交通系統(tǒng)、服務(wù)和組件的規(guī)劃、設(shè)計、運(yùn)行、控制、管理、維護(hù)和修復(fù)的最終影響。特別值得關(guān)注的是新興技術(shù)對運(yùn)輸系統(tǒng)性能的影響，包括服務(wù)水平、容量、安全性、可靠性、資源消耗和環(huán)境、經(jīng)濟(jì)和金融、隱私、標(biāo)準(zhǔn)和責(zé)任。第C部分鼓勵在以下運(yùn)輸領(lǐng)域提交：新興技術(shù)對所有模式和聯(lián)運(yùn)的影響；智能運(yùn)輸系統(tǒng)；實時操作；物流；資源管理；消費(fèi)者/旅行者采用、接受和使用新技術(shù)；基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施應(yīng)用新興技術(shù)的數(shù)量。

The focus of Transportation Research-Part C is high-quality, scholarly research that addresses development, applications, and implications, in the field of transportation, of emerging technologies from such fields as operations research, computer science, electronics, control systems, artificial intelligence, and telecommunications, among others. The interest is not in the individual technologies or methodologies per se, but in their ultimate implications for the planning, design, operation, control, management, maintenance and rehabilitation of transportation systems, services and components.Of particular interest are the impacts of emerging technologies on transportation system performance, in terms of level of service, capacity, safety, reliability, resource consumption and the environment, economics and finance, privacy, standards, and liability. Submissions in the following areas of transportation are encouraged by Part C: the impact of emerging technologies for all modes and for intermodal transportation; intelligent transportation systems; real-time operations; logistics; resource management; consumer/traveler adoption, acceptance and usage of new technologies; infrastructure applications of emerging technologies.
