The Journal of Highway and Transportation Research and Development includes road and transportation related R&D academic papers and activities. Topics covered include: road engineering, bridge engineering, tunnel engineering, ITS and traffic engineering, automobile engineering, environmental engineering, and transport economics. The journal includes the latest practical and theoretical achievements and in-depth features as well as news and product roundups. This online edition features select papers translated into English and released quarterly.

The Journal of Infrastructure Systems publishes cross-disciplinary papers about managing, sustaining, enhancing, and transforming civil infrastructure systems. Papers are expected to contribute new knowledge through development, application, or implementation of innovative methodologies or technologies.

Civil infrastructure systems enable thriving societies and healthy ecosystems. Civil infrastructure systems support transportation; energy production and distribution; water resources management; waste management; civic facilities in urban and rural communities; communications; sustainable resources development; and environmental protection. These physical, social, ecological, economic, and technological systems are complex and interrelated.

Increasingly, inter- and multidisciplinary expertise is needed not only to design and build these systems, but to manage, sustain, enhance, and transform them as well. Typical management problems are fraught with uncertain information, multiple and conflicting objectives, and sometimes numerous and conflicting constituencies. Solutions are both complex and cross-disciplinary in nature and require the thoughtful integration of sound engineering judgment, economic flexibility, social equity, and institutional forbearance.

Papers considered for publication must contain a well-defined engineering component and articulate a clear contribution to the art and science related to infrastructure systems. Potential authors should consult the ASCE Author Guide for acceptable paper formats and article types.

The Journal of Transportation Engineering, Part B: Pavements will contain technical and professional articles on the planning, design, construction, maintenance, and operation of airport, roadway and other pavement systems. Specific topics include pavement design; modeling; analysis approaches, maintenance and performance; pavement evaluation, pavement materials; interaction of pavements and vehicles; and economics and environmental aspects of pavements.

The Journal of Urban Planning and Development covers the application of civil engineering to such aspects of urban planning as area-wide transportation, the coordination of planning and programming of public works and utilities, and the development and redevelopment of urban areas. Subjects include environmental assessment, esthetic considerations, land use planning, underground utilities, infrastructure management, renewal legislation, transportation planning, and evaluation of the economic value of state parks.
