Transactions on Transport Sciences

Let me welcome you at the opening of pages of a brand new international scientific quarterly Transactions on Transport Sciences, edited by the Czech Ministry of Transport. We decided jointly with domestic scientific circles to give origin to the journal, so as to promote exchange of ideas, theories and practical experience between Czech and international transport scientists and industry specialists.

The transport industry is now more than ever undergoing tremendous changes, absorbing and employing breakthrough technologies, attracting in growing extent private resources. Both intermodal and intramodal competition among operators creates a constant demand for new scientific discoveries, and so does the generally growing strive for transport solutions friendly to the endangered environment. The journal should contribute to this development by dissemination of discoveries and solutions that could one day become generally adopted transport technologies.

Our Ministry, jointly with the Editorial Board, would like to invite all transport scientists and dedicated specialists to take part in the discussion running in journal’s volumes. And I wish to the new journal much success and to its readers an affluent and never-ending adventure of thinking.
