Journal of Transport Information and Safety was founded in 1983. It is a bimonthly professional and technical journal publishes in China and abroad. Taking transport system as main subject, it focuses on two areas of information technologies and safety of transportation, reports innovative studies and engineering applications of theories and outstanding achievements in the field of transportation as well as interdisciplinary studies. The journal also introduces academic papers, study results, and experiences in theoretical and actual applications of collection, transmission, processing, and dissemination of transportation systems. It follows up the developments and issues in the fields of transport information and safety in transportation, i.e. new theories, technologies, study methods, standards, and equipment, etc.
Journal of Transport Information and Safety is cited in the Chinese Core Journals Overview as a core journal. It is one of the sources for Chinese Science Citation Database (CSCD), Core Science and Technology Journals, and Research Center for Chinese Science Evaluation (RCCSE) (within Class A, top 20% of all journals in the field of Transportation Engineering).
