Abstract

Fifty years of evolution of transportation research is revisited based on bibliometric indicators of nearly 50,000 articles, the collective publication of all transportation journals. A multitude of objective indicators all consistently determined four major divisions in the field: (i) network analysis and traffic flow, (ii) economics of transportation and logistics, (iii) travel behaviour, and (iv) road safety. Trending themes of research within the abovementioned divisions respectively are: (i) macroscopic fundamental diagram and public transport network design, (ii) nil (no distinct trending topic), (iii) land-use, active transportation, residential self-selection, travel experience/satisfaction, social exclusion and transport/spatial equity, and (iv) statistical modelling of road accidents. Furthermore, clusters of research related to topics of (a) shared mobility, (b) electric mobility, and (c) autonomous mobility constitute trending topics that are each a cross between multiple divisions of the field. These outcomes document major directions to which the transportation research is headed. Additional outcome is determination of influential outsiders, seminal articles published by non-transportation journals that have proven instrumental in the development of transportation science.

交通科学的新兴趋势和有影响力的局外人

摘要基于近50000篇文章的文献计量指标，回顾了交通运输研究50年的发展历程，这些文章是所有交通运输期刊的集体出版物。许多客观指标一致确定了该领域的四个主要部门：（一）网络分析和交通流，（二）运输和物流经济，（三）出行行为，以及（四）道路安全。上述部门内的研究趋势主题分别为：（i）宏观基础图和公共交通网络设计，（ii）零（没有明显的趋势主题），（iii）土地使用、主动交通、住宅自选、出行体验/满意度、社会排斥和交通/空间公平，以及（iv）道路事故的统计建模。此外，与（a）共享移动性、（b）电动移动性和（c）自主移动性主题相关的研究集群构成了趋势性主题，每个主题都是该领域多个部门之间的交叉。这些成果记录了交通研究的主要方向。另一个结果是确定了有影响力的局外人，非交通杂志发表的开创性文章对交通科学的发展起到了重要作用。

期刊介绍： Transportation Letters: The International Journal of Transportation Research is a quarterly journal that publishes high-quality peer-reviewed and mini-review papers as well as technical notes and book reviews on the state-of-the-art in transportation research. The focus of Transportation Letters is on analytical and empirical findings, methodological papers, and theoretical and conceptual insights across all areas of research. Review resource papers that merge descriptions of the state-of-the-art with innovative and new methodological, theoretical, and conceptual insights spanning all areas of transportation research are invited and of particular interest.
