Submission of a manuscript is considered to be a representation that it has been neither copyrighted (or if copyrighted is clearly marked so that the appropriate permission can be obtained) nor published, that it is not being submitted for publication elsewhere, and that, if the work results from a military contract, it has been released for open publication. As a condition of final acceptance of a paper for publication in European Transport\Trasporti Europei, the author(s) must indicate if their paper is posted on a working paper website, other than their own. They are responsible for assuring that, if any part of the paper has been copyrighted for prepublication as a working paper, the copyright can and will be transferred to ISTIEE when the paper has been accepted. This includes both print and electronic forms of the paper. On acceptance, the text, or any link to full text, must be removed from the working paper websites, other than the author's own website. Other material such as book reviews and announcements should also be sent to the Editor.

Manuscripts should contain only endnotes. Figures are required in a form suitable for photographic reproduction. Any one of a number of forms will be acceptable, e.g., laser printer drawing, original black ink drawings, or high- quality glossy prints. Lettering should be uniform in size and style and sufficiently large to be legible after reduction.

Figures should be designated by arabic numbers and referred to in the text by number. Figure legends should be collectively provided on a separate sheet rather than placed on the figures themselves. Tables may be typed on sheets separated from the text. Each table should have a caption that makes the table entries clearly independent of the text; complicated column headings should be avoided. All tables should be numbered and referred to in the text by number.

In mathematical expressions, authors are requested in general to minimize unusual or expensive typographical requirements; for example: authors are requested to use the solidus wherever possible in preference to built-up fractions, to write complicated exponentials in the form exp() and to avoid subscripts and superscripts on subscripts or superscripts. Subscripts and superscripts should be shown large and clear, Greek letters and unusual symbols should be labeled on first occurrence, as should subscript "zero", to distinguish it from the letter "oh". Whether each letter is capital or lower case should be unambiguous. Equation numbers must be at the right.

Each paper must be accompanied by an abstract of about 100 words. The abstract should be adequate as an index and should summarize the principal results and conclusions. The first section of the article should not be numbered. References to related previous work should be reasonably complete, and grouped at the end of the paper. References in the text should be cited by the author's surname and the year of publication, e.g.: (Jansson, 1980),(Marguier and Ceder, 1984).The following format should be used for references:
