About the journal
Transportation Research: Part B publishes papers on all methodological aspects of the subject, particularly those that require mathematical analysis. The general theme of the journal is the development and solution of problems that are adequately motivated to deal with important aspects of the design and/or analysis of transportation systems. Areas covered include: traffic flow; design and analysis of transportation networks; control and scheduling; optimization; queuing theory; logistics; supply chains; development and application of statistical, econometric and mathematical models to address transportation problems; cost models; pricing and/or investment; traveler or shipper behavior; cost-benefit methodologies.
Part B's aims and scope are complementary to Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, Part C: Emerging Technologies and Part D: Transport and Environment. The complete set forms the most cohesive and comprehensive reference of current research in transportation science.
Audience Operations researchers, Logisticians, Economists, Econometricians, Mathematical Modelers, and Transportation Engineers, Geographers and Planners.
Instructions to Authors
Submission of Manuscripts
As of 01 December 2005, all new manuscripts must be submitted through the Transportation Research Part B online submission and review Web site (http://ees.elsevier.com/trb/). Authors are requested to submit the text, tables, and artwork in electronic form to this address. We only consider work that has not been and will not be submitted elsewhere for publication.
Submission items include a contribution statement, the manuscript (including title page, abstract, manuscript text, references, and table/figure legends), tables, and figures. Revised manuscripts must also be accompanied by a file with responses to reviewers' comments. The preferred order of files is as follows: contribution statement, response to reviews (revised manuscripts only), manuscript file(s), table(s), figure(s). Files should be labeled with appropriate and descriptive file names (e.g., SmithText.doc, Fig1.eps, Table3.doc). Upload text, tables and graphics as separate files. Do not import figures or tables into the text document. Be very careful to follow Part B reference notation. An example of correct referencing is (note capitalization, punctuation, volume and issue numbers, and that "Part B" is explicitly stated in the journal's title):
Mannering, F., Hamed, M., 1990. Occurrence, frequency and duration of commuters' work-to-home departure delay. Transportation Research Part B 24(2), 99-109.
Complete instructions for electronic artwork submission can be found on the Author Gateway, accessible through the journal home page.
Authors who are unable to provide an electronic version or have other circumstances that prevent online submission must contact the Editorial Office prior to submission to discuss alternate options. The Publisher and Editors regret that they are not able to consider submissions that do not follow these procedures.
Electronic format requirements for accepted articles We accept most wordprocessing formats, but Word, WordPerfect or LaTeX is preferred.
An electronic version of the text should be submitted together with the final hardcopy of the manuscript. The electronic version must match the hardcopy exactly.
Always keep a backup copy of the electronic file for reference and safety. Label storage media with your name, journal title and software used. Save your files using the default extension of the program used. No changes to the accepted version are permissible without the explicit approval of the Editor. Electronic files can be stored on 3? inch diskette, ZIPdisk or CD (either MS-DOS or Macintosh). Although Elsevier can process most wordprocessor file formats, should your electronic file prove to be unusable, the article will be typeset from the hardcopy printout.
Preparation of text Presentation of manuscript Please write your text in good English (American or British usage is accepted, but not a mixture of these).
Italics are not to be used for expressions of Latin origin, for example, in vivo, et al., per se. Use decimal points (not commas); use a space for thousands (10 000 and above). English language help service: Upon request, Elsevier will direct authors to an agent who can check and improve the English of their paper (before submission). Please contact authorsupport@elsevier.com for further information. Print the entire manuscript on one side of the paper only, using double spacing and wide (3 cm) margins. (Avoid full justi.cation, i.e., do not use a constant right-hand margin.)
Ensure that each new paragraph is clearly indicated. Present tables and figure legends on separate pages at the end of the manuscript. If possible, consult a recent issue of the journal to become familiar with layout and conventions. Number all pages consecutively. Provide the following data on the title page (in the order given).
Title. Concise and informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible. Author names and affiliations. Where the family name may be ambiguous (e.g., a double name), please indicate this clearly. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affililiation, including the country name and, if available, the e-mail address of each author. Corresponding author. Clearly indicate who is willing to handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. Ensure that telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address. Present/permanent address. If an author has moved since the work described in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a 'Present address' (or 'Permanent address') may be indicated as a footnote to that author's name. The address at which the author actually did the work must be retained as the main, affililiation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.
Abstract. A concise and factual abstract is required (maximum length 200 words). The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separate from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. References should therefore be avoided, but if essential, they must be cited in full, without reference to the reference list. Keywords. Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of six keywords, avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, 'and', 'of'). Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes. N.B.: Acknowledgements. Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article and do not, therefore, include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. Arrangement of the article Subdivision of the article. Divide your article into clearly de.ned and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ?), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not included in section numbering). Use this numbering also for internal cross-referencing: do not just refer to 'the text'. Any subsection may be given a brief heading. Each heading should appear on its own separate line. Introduction. State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results. Figure legends, tables, figures and schemes. Present these, in this order, at the end of the article. They are described in more detail below. If you are working with LaTeX and have such features embedded in the text, these can be left, but such embedding should not be done speci.cally for publishing purposes. Further, high-resolution graphics files must be provided separately (see Preparation of illustrations).
Appendices. If there is more than one appendix, they should be identified as A, B, etc. Formulae and equations in appendices should be given separate numbering: (Eq. A.1), (Eq. A.2), etc.; in a subsequent appendix (Eq. B.1) and so forth. Acknowledgements. Place acknowledgements, including information on grants received, before the references, in a separate section and not as a footnote on the title page. References. See separate section, below. Figure legends, tables, figures and schemes. Present these, in this order, at the end of the article. They are described in more detail below. High-resolution graphics .les must always be provided separate from the main text file (see Preparation of illustrations). Units. Authors are seriously recommended to use SI (metric) units in their manuscripts, with optional English equivalents in parentheses. Mathematical formulae. Present simple formulae in the line of normal text where possible. In principle, variables are to be presented in italics. Use the solidus (/) instead of a horizontal line, e.g., Xp/Ym rather than Xp Ym. Powers of e are often more conveniently denoted by exp. Number consecutively any equations that have to be displayed separate from the text (if referred to explicitly in the text). Footnotes. Footnotes should be used sparingly. Number them consecutively throughout the article, using superscript Arabic numbers. Many wordprocessors build footnotes into the text and this feature may be used. Should this not be the case, indicate the position of footnotes in the text and present the footnotes themselves on a separate sheet at the end of the article. Do not include footnotes in the Reference list. Table footnotes. Indicate each footnote in a table with a superscript lowercase letter. Tables. Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text. Place footnotes to tables below the table body and indicate them with superscript lowercase letters. Avoid vertical rules. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in tables do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article.
References Responsibility for the accuracy of bibliographic citations lies entirely with the authors. Citations in the text: Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal communications should not be in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. Citation of a reference as 'in press' implies that the item has been accepted for publication. Citing and listing of web references. As a minimum, the full URL should be given. Any further information, if known (author names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given. Web references can be listed separately (e.g., after the reference list) under a di.erent heading if desired, or can be included in the reference list. Text: All citations in the text should refer to: 1. Single author: the author's name (without initials, unless there is ambiguity) and the year of publication; 2. Two authors: both authors' names and the year of publication; 3. Three or more authors: .rst author's name followed by 'et al.' and the year of publication. Citations may be made directly (or parenthetically). Groups of references should be listed .rst alphabetically, then chronologically. Examples: 'as demonstrated (Allan, 1996a, 1996b, 1999; Allan and Jones, 1995). Kramer et al. (2000) have recently shown?' List: References should be arranged .rst alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters 'a', 'b', 'c', etc., placed after the year of publication. Examples: The Harvard system of references is used. References should conform to the following style. Journal: Kanafani, A. and Abbas, M. S. (1987). Local air service and economic impact of small airports. Journal of Transportation Engineering, 113, 42-55. Books: Button, K. J. (1982). Transport Economics. Heineman, London. Article in book: Nash, C. A. (1988). Integration of public transport: an economic assessment. Bus Deregulation and Privatization: An International Perspective. In: J. S. Dodgson and N. P. Topham (Eds.), Wiley, New York, pp. 17-46. Proceedings: Grant, R. A. (1989). Building and testing a causal model and information technology's impact. Proceedings of the Tenth International Conference on Information Systems, Boston, MA, pp. 173-184. Thesis: Cardell, N. S. (1989). Extensions of multinational logit model and the ranked logit model.

Preparation of illustrations Preparation of electronic illustrations Submitting your artwork in an electronic format helps us to produce your work to the best possible standards, ensuring accuracy, clarity and a high level of detail. General points Always supply high-quality printouts of your artwork, in case conversion of the electronic artwork is problematic. Make sure you use uniform lettering and sizing of your original artwork. Save text in illustrations as 'graphics' or enclose the font. Only use the following fonts in your illustrations: Arial, Courier, Helvetica, Times and Symbol. Number the illustrations according to their sequence in the text. Use a logical naming convention for your artwork files and supply a separate listing of the files and the software used. Provide all illustrations as separate files and as hardcopy printouts on separate sheets. Provide captions to illustrations separately. Produce images near to the desired size of the printed version. Files can be stored on 3? inch diskette, ZIP-disk or CD (either MS-DOS or Macintosh). A detailed guide on electronic artwork is available on our website: http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork. You are urged to visit this site; some excerpts from the detailed information are given here.
Formats Regardless of the application used, when your electronic artwork is finalised, please 'save as' or convert the images to one of the following formats. (Note the resolution requirements for line drawings, halftones and line/halftone combinations given below.) EPS: Vector drawings. Embed the font or save the text as 'graphics'. TIFF: Colour or greyscale photographs (halftones): always use a minimum of 300 dpi. TIFF: Bitmapped line drawings: use a minimum of 1000 dpi. TIFF: Combinations bitmapped line/half-tone (colour or greyscale): a minimum of 500 dpi is required. DOC, XLS or PPT: If your electronic artwork is created in any of these--Microsoft O.ce applications please supply 'as is'. Please do not: Supply embedded graphics in your wordprocessor (spreadsheet, presentation) document; Supply files that are optimised for screen use (like GIF, BMP, PICT, WPG); the resolution is too low; Supply files that are too low in resolution. Submit graphics that are disproportionately large for the content. Non-electronic illustrations Provide all illustrations as high-quality printouts, suitable for reproduction (which may include reduction) without retouching. Number illustrations consecutively in the order in which they are referred to in the text. They should accompany the manuscript, but should not be included within the text. Clearly mark all illustrations on the back (or in case of line drawings--on the lower front side) with the figure number and the author's name and, in cases of ambiguity, the correct orientation. Mark the appropriate position of a figure in the article. Captions Ensure that each illustration has a caption. Supply captions on a separate sheet, not attached to the figure. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations used. Line drawings Supply high-quality printouts on white paper produced with black ink. The lettering and symbols, as well as other details, should have proportionate dimensions, so as not to become illegible or unclear after possible reduction; in general, the figures should be designed for a reduction factor of two to three. The degree of reduction will be determined by the Publisher. Illustrations will not be enlarged. Consider the page format of the journal when designing the illustrations. Photocopies are not suitable for reproduction. Do not use any type of shading on computer-generated illustrations. Photographs (halftones) Please supply original photographs for reproduction, printed on glossy paper, very sharp and with good contrast. Remove non-essential areas of a photograph. Do not mount photographs unless they form part of a composite figure. Where necessary, insert a scale bar in the illustration (not below it), as opposed to giving a magni-fication factor in the legend. Note that photocopies of photographs are not acceptable. Colour illustrations Submit colour illustrations as original photographs, highquality computer prints or transparencies, close to the size expected in publication, or as 35 mm slides. Polaroid colour prints are not suitable. Further information concerning colour illustrations and costs is available from Author Support (authorsupport@elsevier.com). Submit colour illustrations as original photographs, high quality computer prints or transparencies, close to the size expected in publication, or as 35 mm slides. Polaroid colour prints are not suitable. If, together with your accepted article, you submit usable colour figures then Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in colour on the web (e.g., SeienceDirect and other sites) regardless of whether or not these illustrations are reproduced in colour in the printed version. For colour reproduction in print, you will receive information regarding the costs from Elsevier after receipt of your accepted article. For further information on the preparation of electronic artwork, please see http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork. Please note: Because of technical complications which can arise by converting colour figures to 'grey scale' (for the printed version should you not opt for colour in print) please submit in addition usable black and white prints corresponding to all the colour illustrations. Preparation of supplementary data Elsevier now accepts electronic supplementary material to support and enhance your scientific research. Supplementary files offer the author additional possibilities to publish supporting applications, movies, animation sequences, high-resolution images, background datasets, sound clips and more. Supplementary .les supplied will be published online alongside the electronic version of your article in Elsevier web products, including ScienceDirect: http://www.sciencedirect.com. In order to ensure that your submitted material is directly usable, please ensure that data is provided in one of our recommended file formats. Authors should submit the material in electronic format together with the article and supply a concise and descriptive caption for each file. For more detailed instructions please visit our Author Gateway at http://authors.elsevier.com. Files can be stored on 3? inch diskette, ZIP-disk or CD (either MS-DOS or Macintosh).
Proofs When your manuscript is received by the Publisher it is considered to be in its final form. Proofs are not to be regarded as 'drafts'. One set of page proofs in PDF format will be sent by e-mail to the corresponding author, to be checked for typesetting/ editing. No changes in, or additions to, the accepted (and subsequently edited) manuscript will be allowed at this stage. Proofreading is solely your responsibility. A form with queries from the copyeditor may accompany your proofs. Please answer all queries and make any corrections or additions required. Elsevier will do everything possible to get your article corrected and published as quickly and accurately as possible. In order to do this we need your help. When you receive the (PDF) proof of your article for correction, it is important to ensure that all of your corrections are sent back to us in one communication. Subsequent corrections will not be possible, so please ensure your first sending is complete. Note that this does not mean you have any less time to make your corrections, just that only one set of corrections will be accepted.
Offprints Twenty-five o.prints will be supplied free of charge. Additional o.prints and copies of the issue can be ordered at a specially reduced rate using the order form sent to the corresponding author after the manuscript has been accepted. Orders for reprints (produced after publication of an article) will incur a 50% surcharge.
