Since 1950, more than 50% of the total world population is in Asia, and Asia is undergoing fast increase in urban population with the progress of fast urbanization. Developing efficient urban transport systems and providing more environmentally friendly modes, in highly populated Asian cities, can benefit to improve the mobility, decrease the dependency of private cars, and alleviate traffic congestion. It is therefore important to quantify the environmental effects and take their effects into account when designing, planning, managing and controlling transportation networks. Sustainable transportation concerns systems, policies, and technologies, and the development of sustainable transportation system provides a valuable opportunity for academic communities and practitioners facing challenges for the reduction of traffic congestion and its impact on the environment and the development of rapid innovative solutions.
