Intelligent agents in traffic and transportation

Abstract Transportation Research, Part C is a forum designed to serve as a focus for new efforts and achievements in traffic research. While its past issues have been a fertile ground for new scientific concepts and paradigms it is the appropriate international scientific platform to recognize the importance of agent technologies for the traffic research community. Thus I am very glad to follow Leighton Chipperfield’s (Social Science Department of Elsevier Science, Oxford, UK) invitation to be the guest editor for this special issue of Transportation Research, Part C.
