This edition covers different topics from the transportation technologies, including control and automation of transport, public transport prediction, techniques to reduce crashes and case studies from different countries. Section 1 focuses on control and automation of the transport, describing fuzzy rules to improve traffic light decisions in urban roads; evaluation of merge control strategies at interstate work zones under peak and off-peak traffic conditions; modulating traffic signal phases to realize real-time traffic control system; traffic regulation at critical intersections: a case study of Odole intersection, Akure, Nigeria. Section 2 focuses on techniques to reduce crashes, describing comprehensive study of single and multiple truck crashes using violation and crash data; predicting truck at-fault crashes using crash and traffic offence data; road traffic crash dаta: an overview on sources, problems, and collection methods; road crash prediction models: different statistical modeling approaches; high-risk rural road safety study and determining the crash-reduction factors for high-risk rural-road usage. Section 3 focuses on public transport prediction, describing prediction of civil aviation passenger transportation based on ARIMA model; present assessment of public traffic system based on GIS in Kitakyushu; development of a GIS based public transport composite social need index in Jeddah; evaluation of past investment in urban public transportation. Section 4 focuses on case studies from different countries, describing transport policy - the perspective of Swedish stakeholders; Spanish initiative for the automation in urban transport: AutoMOST; fuzzy analysis and evaluation of public transport service quality: a case study of Dar-es Salaam city, Tanzania; intermodal terminal localization using a linear programming approach: the case study of Togo and west African landlocked countries; study on objectives and strategies for energy conservation and emission reduction in transportation industry during the 13th five-year plan period in Beijing.
