Low-altitude Transportation (LAT) is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal dedicated to advancing scientific research, technological innovation, and integrated system development in the rapidly evolving field of low-altitude transportation. The journal aims to provide an international platform for high-quality original research articles and comprehensive reviews that address fundamental theories, enabling technologies, system integration, policy frameworks, and interdisciplinary applications related to low-altitude mobility.
LAT focuses on cutting-edge developments in low-altitude aircraft, intelligent air traffic management, urban air mobility, safety technologies, infrastructure systems, and the integration of air and ground transportation networks. The journal promotes collaboration among academia, industry, and policymakers to support the sustainable and safe development of the low-altitude economy and smart cities.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Airworthiness standards, certification systems, reliability engineering, and safety assessment
Low-altitude airspace planning, unmanned aircraft system traffic management (UTM), and urban air mobility (UAM) operations
Communication, navigation, and surveillance (CNS) technologies for low-altitude traffic
Conflict detection and resolution, trajectory planning, and intelligent air traffic services
Integration of low-altitude transportation with smart cities and digital urban platforms
Aerial logistics, advanced air mobility (AAM), and mobility-as-a-service systems
Key technologies for low-altitude traffic safety, including sense-and-avoid systems, autonomous control, human-machine interaction, cybersecurity, and emergency management
Air-ground integrated transportation network planning, multimodal coordination, and intelligent transportation systems (ITS)
Vertiport planning and design, charging and energy supply systems, and low-altitude infrastructure construction
Sustainable, resilient, and green infrastructure for low-altitude transportation
Application of emerging interdisciplinary technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data analytics, digital twins, the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, and advanced materials in low-altitude transportation systems
