Declaration of interest 利益申报

All authors must disclose any financial and personal relationships with other people or organizations that could inappropriately influence (bias) their work. Examples of potential competing interests include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other funding. Authors must disclose any interests in two places: 1. A summary declaration of interest statement in the title page file (if double anonymized) or the manuscript file (if single anonymized). If there are no interests to declare then please state this: ‘Declarations of interest: none’. 2. Detailed disclosures as part of a separate Declaration of Interest form, which forms part of the journal’s official records. It is important for potential interests to be declared in both places and that the information matches. More information.
所有作者必须披露与他人或组织的任何财务和个人关系，这些关系可能会不恰当地影响（偏见）他们的工作。潜在竞争利益的例子包括就业、咨询、股票所有权、酬金、有偿专家证词、专利申请/注册以及赠款或其他资金。作者必须在两个地方披露任何利益：1.扉页文件（如果双重匿名）或手稿文件（如果单匿名）中的利益声明摘要。如果没有要申报的利益，请说明：“利益申报：无”。2. 作为单独的利益申报表的一部分进行详细披露，该声明表构成期刊官方记录的一部分。重要的是在两个地方申报潜在利益，并且信息匹配。更多信息。
Declaration of generative AI in scientific writing
生成式人工智能在科学写作中的宣言

The below guidance only refers to the writing process, and not to the use of AI tools to analyse and draw insights from data as part of the research process.
以下指南仅涉及写作过程，而不是作为研究过程的一部分，使用人工智能工具从数据中分析和得出见解。
Where authors use generative artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process, authors should only use these technologies to improve readability and language. Applying the technology should be done with human oversight and control, and authors should carefully review and edit the result, as AI can generate authoritative-sounding output that can be incorrect, incomplete or biased. AI and AI-assisted technologies should not be listed as an author or co-author, or be cited as an author. Authorship implies responsibilities and tasks that can only be attributed to and performed by humans, as outlined in Elsevier’s AI policy for authors.
如果作者在写作过程中使用生成式人工智能 （AI） 和 AI 辅助技术，作者应仅使用这些技术来提高可读性和语言性。应用该技术应该在人类的监督和控制下完成，作者应该仔细审查和编辑结果，因为人工智能可以生成听起来权威的输出，这些输出可能是不正确的、不完整的或有偏见的。人工智能和人工智能辅助技术不应被列为作者或合著者，也不应被引用为作者。作者身份意味着只能归因于人类并由人类执行的责任和任务，如爱思唯尔的 AI 作者政策中所述。

Authors should disclose in their manuscript the use of AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process by following the instructions below. A statement will appear in the published work. Please note that authors are ultimately responsible and accountable for the contents of the work.
作者应按照以下说明在写作过程中披露人工智能和人工智能辅助技术的使用。声明将出现在已发表的作品中。请注意，作者对作品内容负有最终责任。

Disclosure instructions 披露说明
Authors must disclose the use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process by adding a statement at the end of their manuscript in the core manuscript file, before the References list. The statement should be placed in a new section entitled ‘Declaration of Generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process’.
作者必须在核心稿件文件的稿件末尾，在参考文献列表之前添加声明，披露在写作过程中使用生成式人工智能和人工智能辅助技术的情况。该声明应放在题为“写作过程中的生成式人工智能和人工智能辅助技术的声明”的新章节中。

Statement: During the preparation of this work the author(s) used [NAME TOOL / SERVICE] in order to [REASON]. After using this tool/service, the author(s) reviewed and edited the content as needed and take(s) full responsibility for the content of the publication.
声明：在准备本作品期间，作者使用[名称工具/服务]来[REASON]。使用此工具/服务后，作者根据需要审查和编辑内容，并对出版物的内容承担全部责任。

This declaration does not apply to the use of basic tools for checking grammar, spelling, references etc. If there is nothing to disclose, there is no need to add a statement.
本声明不适用于使用基本工具检查语法、拼写、参考文献等。如果没有什么要披露的，就没有必要添加声明。

Use of inclusive language
使用包容性语言

Inclusive language acknowledges diversity, conveys respect to all people, is sensitive to differences, and promotes equal opportunities. Content should make no assumptions about the beliefs or commitments of any reader; contain nothing which might imply that one individual is superior to another on the grounds of age, gender, race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, disability or health condition; and use inclusive language throughout. Authors should ensure that writing is free from bias, stereotypes, slang, reference to dominant culture and/or cultural assumptions. We advise to seek gender neutrality by using plural nouns (“clinicians, patients/clients”) as default/wherever possible to avoid using “he, she,” or “he/she.” We recommend avoiding the use of descriptors that refer to personal attributes such as age, gender, race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, disability or health condition unless they are relevant and valid. When coding terminology is used, we recommend to avoid offensive or exclusionary terms such as “master”, “slave”, “blacklist” and “whitelist”. We suggest using alternatives that are more appropriate and (self-) explanatory such as “primary”, “secondary”, “blocklist” and “allowlist”. These guidelines are meant as a point of reference to help identify appropriate language but are by no means exhaustive or definitive.
包容性语言承认多样性，传达对所有人的尊重，对差异敏感，并促进机会均等。内容不应对任何读者的信念或承诺做出任何假设;不包含任何可能暗示一个人因年龄、性别、种族、民族、文化、性取向、残疾或健康状况而优于另一个人的内容;并自始至终使用包容性语言。作者应确保写作没有偏见、刻板印象、俚语、对主流文化和/或文化假设的引用。我们建议尽可能使用复数名词（“临床医生、患者/客户”）作为默认/避免使用“他、她”或“他/她”来寻求性别中立。我们建议避免使用涉及个人属性的描述符，例如年龄、性别、种族、民族、文化、性取向、残疾或健康状况，除非它们相关且有效。使用编码术语时，建议避免使用冒犯性或排他性术语，例如“主”、“从”、“黑名单”和“白名单”。我们建议使用更合适且（自我）解释的替代方案，例如“主要”、“次要”、“阻止列表”和“允许列表”。这些指南旨在作为参考点，以帮助识别适当的语言，但绝不是详尽或确定的。
Reporting sex- and gender-based analyses
报告基于性别和性别的分析

Reporting guidance 报告指南
For research involving or pertaining to humans, animals or eukaryotic cells, investigators should integrate sex and gender-based analyses (SGBA) into their research design according to funder/sponsor requirements and best practices within a field. Authors should address the sex and/or gender dimensions of their research in their article. In cases where they cannot, they should discuss this as a limitation to their research’s generalizability. Importantly, authors should explicitly state what definitions of sex and/or gender they are applying to enhance the precision, rigor and reproducibility of their research and to avoid ambiguity or conflation of terms and the constructs to which they refer (see Definitions section below). Authors can refer to the Sex and Gender Equity in Research (SAGER) guidelines and the SAGER guidelines checklist. These offer systematic approaches to the use and editorial review of sex and gender information in study design, data analysis, outcome reporting and research interpretation - however, please note there is no single, universally agreed-upon set of guidelines for defining sex and gender.
对于涉及或与人类、动物或真核细胞有关的研究，研究人员应根据资助者/申办者的要求和领域内的最佳实践，将性别和基于性别的分析 （SGBA） 整合到他们的研究设计中。作者应在文章中讨论其研究的性别和/或性别维度。在他们不能的情况下，他们应该讨论这作为他们研究的普遍性的限制。重要的是，作者应明确说明他们正在应用的性别和/或性别定义，以提高其研究的精确性、严谨性和可重复性，并避免术语及其所指结构的歧义或混淆（见下面的定义部分）。作者可以参考 and Gender Equity in Research （SAGER） 指南和 SAGER 指南清单。这些为在研究设计、数据分析、结果报告和研究解释中使用和编辑审查性别和性别信息提供了系统的方法——但是，请注意，没有一套单一的、普遍同意的指导方针来定义性别和性别。
Definitions 定义
Sex generally refers to a set of biological attributes that are associated with physical and physiological features (e.g., chromosomal genotype, hormonal levels, internal and external anatomy). A binary sex categorization (male/female) is usually designated at birth (““sex assigned at birth””), most often based solely on the visible external anatomy of a newborn. Gender generally refers to socially constructed roles, behaviors, and identities of women, men and gender-diverse people that occur in a historical and cultural context and may vary across societies and over time. Gender influences how people view themselves and each other, how they behave and interact and how power is distributed in society. Sex and gender are often incorrectly portrayed as binary (female/male or woman/man) and unchanging whereas these constructs actually exist along a spectrum and include additional sex categorizations and gender identities such as people who are intersex/have differences of sex development (DSD) or identify as non-binary. Moreover, the terms ““sex”” and ““gender”” can be ambiguous—thus it is important for authors to define the manner in which they are used. In addition to this definition guidance and the SAGER guidelines, the resources on this page offer further insight around sex and gender in research studies.
性别通常是指与身体和生理特征（例如染色体基因型、荷尔蒙水平、内部和外部解剖结构）相关的一组生物学属性。二元性别分类（男性/女性）通常在出生时指定（“出生时分配的性别”），通常仅基于新生儿的可见外部解剖结构。性别通常是指女性、男性和性别多样化人群的社会建构角色、行为和身份，这些角色、行为和身份发生在历史和文化背景下，可能因社会和时间而异。性别影响着人们如何看待自己和彼此，他们的行为和互动方式以及权力在社会中的分配方式。性别和性别经常被错误地描绘成二元（女性/男性或女性/男性）并且保持不变，而这些结构实际上存在于一个光谱中，包括额外的性别分类和性别认同，例如双性人/有性发育差异 （DSD） 或被认定为非二元的人。此外，术语“性别”和“性别”可能模棱两可，因此作者必须定义它们的使用方式。除了本定义指南和 SAGER 指南外，本页面上的资源还提供了有关研究中性别和性别的进一步见解。

Author contributions 作者贡献

Note that not all roles may apply to every manuscript, and authors may have contributed through multiple roles. More details and an example.
为了透明起见，我们要求通讯作者使用相关的CRediT角色为稿件提供合著者的贡献。CRediT 分类法包括 14 个不同的角色，描述了每个贡献者对学术产出的具体贡献。角色是：概念化;数据管理;形式分析;资金获取;调查;方法论;项目管理;资源;软件;监督;验证;可视化;角色/写作 - 原稿;和写作 - 审查和编辑。请注意，并非所有角色都适用于每篇稿件，作者可能通过多个角色做出贡献。更多细节和示例。
Changes to authorship 对作者身份的更改

Authors are expected to consider carefully the list and order of authors before submitting their manuscript and provide the definitive list of authors at the time of the original submission. Any addition, deletion or rearrangement of author names in the authorship list should be made only before the manuscript has been accepted and only if approved by the journal Editor. To request such a change, the Editor must receive the following from the corresponding author: (a) the reason for the change in author list and (b) written confirmation (e-mail, letter) from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal or rearrangement. In the case of addition or removal of authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or removed.
作者在提交稿件之前应仔细考虑作者名单和顺序，并在原始提交时提供最终的作者名单。在作者名单中对作者姓名的任何添加、删除或重新排列都应仅在稿件被接受之前进行，并且只有在期刊编辑批准的情况下才能进行。要请求此类更改，编辑必须从通讯作者处收到以下信息：（a） 更改作者列表的原因和 （b） 所有作者的书面确认（电子邮件、信件）他们同意添加、删除或重新排列。在添加或删除作者的情况下，这包括添加或删除作者的确认。
Only in exceptional circumstances will the Editor consider the addition, deletion or rearrangement of authors after the manuscript has been accepted. While the Editor considers the request, publication of the manuscript will be suspended. If the manuscript has already been published in an online issue, any requests approved by the Editor will result in a corrigendum.
只有在特殊情况下，编辑才会考虑在稿件被接受后添加、删除或重新排列作者。在编辑考虑该请求期间，稿件的出版将被暂停。如果稿件已经在网上出版，编辑批准的任何请求都将导致更正。

Peer review 同行审查

This journal operates a single anonymized review process. All contributions will be initially assessed by the editor for suitability for the journal. Papers deemed suitable are then typically sent to a minimum of two independent expert reviewers to assess the scientific quality of the paper. The Editor is responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of articles. The Editor’s decision is final. Editors are not involved in decisions about papers which they have written themselves or have been written by family members or colleagues or which relate to products or services in which the editor has an interest. Any such submission is subject to all of the journal’s usual procedures, with peer review handled independently of the relevant editor and their research groups. More information on types of peer review.
该期刊采用单一的匿名审稿流程。所有投稿将由编辑初步评估是否适合该期刊。然后，被认为合适的论文通常会被发送给至少两名独立的专家评审员，以评估论文的科学质量。编辑对文章的接受或拒绝负责最终决定。编辑的决定是最终决定。编辑不参与他们自己撰写的或由家庭成员或同事撰写的论文或与编辑感兴趣的产品或服务有关的论文的决定。任何此类投稿均须遵守期刊的所有常规程序，同行评审独立于相关编辑及其研究小组进行。有关同行评议类型的更多信息。
REVISED SUBMISSIONS 经修订的意见书
Use of word processing software
使用文字处理软件
Regardless of the file format of the original submission, at revision you must provide us with an editable file of the entire article. Keep the layout of the text as simple as possible. Most formatting codes will be removed and replaced on processing the article. The electronic text should be prepared in a way very similar to that of conventional manuscripts (see also the Guide to Publishing with Elsevier). See also the section on Electronic artwork.
无论原始提交的文件格式如何，在修改时，您都必须向我们提供整篇文章的可编辑文件。使文本的布局尽可能简单。在处理文章时，大多数格式代码将被删除和替换。电子文本的准备方式应与传统稿件非常相似（另见《爱思唯尔出版指南》）。另请参阅“电子图稿”部分。
To avoid unnecessary errors you are strongly advised to use the ‘spell-check’ and ‘grammar-check’ functions of your word processor.
为避免不必要的错误，强烈建议您使用文字处理器的“拼写检查”和“语法检查”功能。
Article structure 文章结构
Subdivision - numbered sections
细分 - 编号部分
Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, …), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not included in section numbering). Use this numbering also for internal cross-referencing: do not just refer to ‘the text’. Any subsection may be given a brief heading. Each heading should appear on its own separate line.
将您的文章划分为明确定义和编号的部分。小节应编号为 1.1（然后是 1.1.1、1.1.2 等）、1.2 等（摘要不包括在节编号中）。此编号也用于内部交叉引用：不要仅引用“文本”。任何小节都可以给出一个简短的标题。每个标题都应出现在其单独的行上。
Statement of Contribution/Potential Impact
贡献声明/潜在影响

A critical element of the submission package is a brief statement (a paragraph or so) of the potential impact and the important contribution to the field that the author(s) feel the paper makes. Note that this differs from an abstract (which normally just describes what was done). The contribution/potential-impact statement needs to address why the research was undertaken (the motivation and who would be interested in the results), the impact the research will have on the transportation field, and why it is a significant advance over past work done in the topic area. In a sense, this is a combination of a traditional abstract and some of what might be expected to appear in the introduction. This statement is useful to both associate editors and referees in assessing the paper.
投稿材料的一个关键要素是简要说明作者认为论文的潜在影响和对该领域的重要贡献（一段左右）。请注意，这与摘要不同（摘要通常只描述所做的事情）。贡献/潜在影响声明需要说明进行研究的原因（动机和谁会对结果感兴趣），研究将对交通领域产生的影响，以及为什么它比过去在主题领域所做的工作有重大进步。从某种意义上说，这是传统摘要和引言中可能出现的一些内容的结合。该声明对副主编和审稿人评估论文都很有用。
Introduction 介绍
State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.
陈述工作目标并提供充分的背景，避免详细的文献调查或结果摘要。
Material and methods 材料与方法
Provide sufficient details to allow the work to be reproduced by an independent researcher. Methods that are already published should be summarized, and indicated by a reference. If quoting directly from a previously published method, use quotation marks and also cite the source. Any modifications to existing methods should also be described.
提供足够的细节，以便独立研究人员复制作品。应对已经发表的方法进行总结，并用参考文献指出。如果直接从以前发布的方法引用，请使用引号并引用来源。还应描述对现有方法的任何修改。
Theory/calculation 理论/计算
A Theory section should extend, not repeat, the background to the article already dealt with in the Introduction and lay the foundation for further work. In contrast, a Calculation section represents a practical development from a theoretical basis.
理论部分应该扩展而不是重复引言中已经处理过的文章的背景，并为进一步的工作奠定基础。相比之下，“计算”部分代表了理论基础的实际发展。
Results 结果
Results should be clear and concise.
结果应该清晰简洁。
Discussion 讨论
This should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.
这应该探索工作结果的意义，而不是重复它们。将结果和讨论组合起来通常是合适的。避免大量引用和讨论已发表的文献。
Conclusions 结论
The main conclusions of the study may be presented in a short Conclusions section, which may stand alone or form a subsection of a Discussion or Results and Discussion section.
研究的主要结论可以在一个简短的结论部分中提出，该部分可以单独存在，也可以构成讨论或结果和讨论部分的子部分。
Glossary 词汇表
Please supply, as a separate list, the definitions of field-specific terms used in your article.
请单独列出贵篇文章中使用的特定领域术语的定义。
Appendices 附录
If there is more than one appendix, they should be identified as A, B, etc. Formulae and equations in appendices should be given separate numbering: Eq. (A.1), Eq. (A.2), etc.; in a subsequent appendix, Eq. (B.1) and so on. Similarly for tables and figures: Table A.1; Fig. A.1, etc.
如果有多个附录，应将其标识为 A、B 等。附录中的公式和方程式应单独编号：方程（A.1）、方程（A.2）等;在随后的附录中，方程（B.1）等。表格和数字也是如此：表A.1;图 A.1 等
Essential title page information
基本扉页信息

• Title. Concise and informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.
•标题。简明扼要，内容丰富。标题通常用于信息检索系统。尽可能避免使用缩写和公式。
• Author names and affiliations. Please clearly indicate the given name(s) and family name(s) of each author and check that all names are accurately spelled. You can add your name between parentheses in your own script behind the English transliteration. Present the authors’ affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author’s name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name and, if available, the e-mail address of each author.
• 作者姓名和单位。请清楚地指出每位作者的姓名和姓氏，并检查所有姓名的拼写是否准确。您可以在自己的脚本中将您的名字添加到英文音译后面的括号之间。在姓名下方显示作者的单位地址（实际工作完成的地方）。在作者姓名之后和相应地址前面用小写上标字母表示所有隶属关系。提供每个隶属机构的完整邮政地址，包括国家名称和每个作者的电子邮件地址（如果有）。
• Corresponding author. Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. This responsibility includes answering any future queries about Methodology and Materials. Ensure that the e-mail address is given and that contact details are kept up to date by the corresponding author.
• 通讯作者。明确指出谁将在审稿和出版的所有阶段（包括出版后）处理通信。该职责包括回答未来有关方法和材料的任何疑问。确保提供电子邮件地址，并由通讯作者及时更新联系方式。
• Present/permanent address. If an author has moved since the work described in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a ‘Present address’ (or ‘Permanent address’) may be indicated as a footnote to that author’s name. The address at which the author actually did the work must be retained as the main, affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.
• 现在/永久地址。如果作者在文章中描述的工作完成后已经搬家，或者当时正在访问，则可以将“现在的地址”（或“永久地址”）作为该作者姓名的脚注。必须保留作者实际完成作品的地址作为主要隶属关系地址。此类脚注使用上标阿拉伯数字。
Highlights 突出

Highlights are mandatory for this journal as they help increase the discoverability of your article via search engines. They consist of a short collection of bullet points that capture the novel results of your research as well as new methods that were used during the study (if any). Please have a look at the example Highlights.
该期刊的亮点是强制性的，因为它们有助于提高文章在搜索引擎中的可发现性。它们由一小撮要点组成，这些要点捕捉了您的研究的新结果以及研究期间使用的新方法（如果有的话）。请看一下示例亮点。
Highlights should be submitted in a separate editable file in the online submission system. Please use ‘Highlights’ in the file name and include 3 to 5 bullet points (maximum 85 characters, including spaces, per bullet point).
亮点应在在线提交系统中以单独的可编辑文件形式提交。请在文件名中使用“亮点”，并包含 3 到 5 个项目符号（每个项目符号最多 85 个字符，包括空格）。

Abstract 抽象

A concise and factual abstract is required. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, References should be avoided, but if essential, then cite the author(s) and year(s). Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.
需要简明扼要的摘要。摘要应简要说明研究目的、主要结果和主要结论。摘要通常与文章分开呈现，因此它必须能够独立存在。因此，应避免参考文献，但如果有必要，请引用作者和年份。此外，应避免使用非标准或不常见的缩写，但如果有必要，则必须在摘要中首次提及时定义它们。
Graphical abstract 图形摘要
Although a graphical abstract is optional, its use is encouraged as it draws more attention to the online article. The graphical abstract should summarize the contents of the article in a concise, pictorial form designed to capture the attention of a wide readership. Graphical abstracts should be submitted as a separate file in the online submission system. Image size: Please provide an image with a minimum of 531 × 1328 pixels (h × w) or proportionally more. The image should be readable at a size of 5 × 13 cm using a regular screen resolution of 96 dpi. Preferred file types: TIFF, EPS, PDF or MS Office files. You can view Example Graphical Abstracts on our information site.
虽然图形摘要是可选的，但鼓励使用它，因为它会引起人们对在线文章的更多关注。图形摘要应以简洁的图形形式总结文章的内容，旨在吸引广大读者的注意力。图形摘要应作为单独文件提交在线提交系统。图片尺寸：请提供至少 531 × 1328 像素（高×宽）或更大的图片。使用 5 dpi 的常规屏幕分辨率，图像应以 5 × 13 厘米的尺寸可读。首选文件类型：TIFF、EPS、PDF 或 MS Office 文件。您可以在我们的信息网站上查看示例图形摘要。
Keywords 关键字

Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords, using American spelling and avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, ‘and’, ‘of’). Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes.
在摘要之后，立即提供最多 6 个关键字，使用美式拼写，避免使用一般和复数术语以及多个概念（避免，例如，“and”、“of”）。避免使用缩写：只有在该领域牢固确立的缩写才有资格。这些关键字将用于索引目的。
Acknowledgements 确认
Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article before the references and do not, therefore, include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. List here those individuals who provided help during the research (e.g., providing language help, writing assistance or proof reading the article, etc.).
在文章末尾的参考文献之前的单独部分中整理致谢，因此，不要将它们包含在标题页上，作为标题的脚注或其他方式。在这里列出那些在研究期间提供帮助的人（例如，提供语言帮助、写作帮助或校对文章等）。
Formatting of funding sources
资金来源的格式
List funding sources in this standard way to facilitate compliance to funder’s requirements:
以以下标准方式列出资金来源，以促进符合资助者的要求：
Funding: This work was supported by the National Institutes of Health [grant numbers xxxx, yyyy]; the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Seattle, WA [grant number zzzz]; and the United States Institutes of Peace [grant number aaaa].
资金：这项工作得到了美国国立卫生研究院的支持 [资助号 xxxx， yyyy];比尔和梅琳达·盖茨基金会，华盛顿州西雅图[授权号zzzz];以及美国和平研究所（United States Institutes of Peace）[授权号AAAA]。

It is not necessary to include detailed descriptions on the program or type of grants and awards. When funding is from a block grant or other resources available to a university, college, or other research institution, submit the name of the institute or organization that provided the funding.
没有必要包括对计划或赠款和奖励类型的详细说明。当资金来自大学、学院或其他研究机构可用的整笔赠款或其他资源时，请提交提供资金的研究所或组织的名称。

If no funding has been provided for the research, it is recommended to include the following sentence:
如果没有为研究提供资金，建议包括以下句子：

This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.
这项研究没有从公共、商业或非营利部门的资助机构获得任何具体的资助。

Math formulae 数学公式
Please submit math equations as editable text and not as images. Present simple formulae in line with normal text where possible and use the solidus (/) instead of a horizontal line for small fractional terms, e.g., X/Y. In principle, variables are to be presented in italics. Powers of e are often more conveniently denoted by exp. Number consecutively any equations that have to be displayed separately from the text (if referred to explicitly in the text).
请以可编辑文本的形式提交数学方程式，而不是以图像形式提交。在可能的情况下，根据普通文本呈现简单的公式，并使用实线 （/） 代替水平线表示小分数项，例如 X/Y。原则上，变量应以斜体表示。e 的幂通常更方便地用 exp 表示。连续编号必须与文本分开显示的任何方程式（如果在文本中明确提及）。
Footnotes 脚注
Footnotes should be used sparingly. Number them consecutively throughout the article. Many word processors build footnotes into the text, and this feature may be used. Should this not be the case, indicate the position of footnotes in the text and present the footnotes themselves separately at the end of the article.
脚注应谨慎使用。在整篇文章中连续编号。许多文字处理器在文本中内置脚注，可以使用此功能。如果不是这种情况，请指出脚注在正文中的位置，并在文章末尾单独列出脚注本身。

确保每个插图都有标题。标题应包括简短的标题（而不是插图本身）和插图说明。将插图本身中的文字保持在最低限度，但解释所有使用的符号和缩写。
Tables 表

Please submit tables as editable text and not as images. Tables can be placed either next to the relevant text in the article, or on separate page(s) at the end. Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text and place any table notes below the table body. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in them do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article. Please avoid using vertical rules and shading in table cells.
请以可编辑文本的形式提交表格，而不是以图像形式提交表格。表格可以放在文章中的相关文本旁边，也可以放在末尾的单独页面上。根据表格在文本中的外观连续编号表格，并将所有表格注释放在表格正文下方。在使用表格时要谨慎，并确保表格中提供的数据不会与本文其他地方描述的结果重复。请避免在表格单元格中使用竖排规则和底纹。
References 引用
Citation in text 文本中的引用
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal communications are not recommended in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. If these references are included in the reference list they should follow the standard reference style of the journal and should include a substitution of the publication date with either ‘Unpublished results’ or ‘Personal communication’. Citation of a reference as ‘in press’ implies that the item has been accepted for publication.
请确保文中引用的每个参考文献也出现在参考文献列表中（反之亦然）。摘要中引用的任何参考文献必须完整给出。未发表的结果和个人通信不建议在参考文献列表中，但可能会在正文中提及。如果这些参考文献包含在参考文献列表中，它们应遵循期刊的标准参考文献格式，并应包括用“未发表的结果”或“个人通信”代替出版日期。引用参考文献为“出版中”意味着该项目已被接受出版。
Reference links 参考链接
Increased discoverability of research and high quality peer review are ensured by online links to the sources cited. In order to allow us to create links to abstracting and indexing services, such as Scopus, Crossref and PubMed, please ensure that data provided in the references are correct. Please note that incorrect surnames, journal/book titles, publication year and pagination may prevent link creation. When copying references, please be careful as they may already contain errors. Use of the DOI is highly encouraged.

Reference formatting 引用格式
There are no strict requirements on reference formatting at submission. References can be in any style or format as long as the style is consistent. Where applicable, author(s) name(s), journal title/book title, chapter title/article title, year of publication, volume number/book chapter and the article number or pagination must be present. Use of DOI is highly encouraged. The reference style used by the journal will be applied to the accepted article by Elsevier at the proof stage. Note that missing data will be highlighted at proof stage for the author to correct. If you do wish to format the references yourself they should be arranged according to the following examples:
提交时对参考文献格式没有严格要求。引用可以采用任何样式或格式，只要样式一致即可。在适用的情况下，必须提供作者姓名、期刊名称/书名、章节标题/文章标题、出版年份、卷号/书籍章节以及文章编号或分页。强烈建议使用 DOI。期刊使用的参考文献格式将在校样阶段应用于爱思唯尔接受的文章。请注意，缺失的数据将在校对阶段突出显示，以便作者更正。如果您确实希望自己设置引用的格式，则应根据以下示例进行排列：

All citations in the text should refer to: 1. Single author: the author’s name (without initials, unless there is ambiguity) and the year of publication; 2. Two authors: both authors’ names and the year of publication; 3. Three or more authors: first author’s name followed by ‘et al.’ and the year of publication. Citations may be made directly (or parenthetically). Groups of references should be listed first alphabetically, then chronologically. Examples: ‘‘as demonstrated (Allan, 1996a, 1996b, 1999; Allan and Jones, 1995). Kramer et al. (2000) have recently shown’’. References should be arranged first alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters ‘‘a’’, ‘‘b’’, ‘‘c’’, etc., placed after the year of publication.
文中所有引用均应提及：1.单一作者：作者姓名（无首字母缩写，除非有歧义）和出版年份;2、作者二人：作者姓名和出版年份;3. 三位或三位以上作者：第一作者姓名，后跟“et al.”和出版年份。可以直接（或括号）引用。参考文献组应首先按字母顺序列出，然后按时间顺序列出。例如：‘‘如上所述（Allan， 1996a， 1996b， 1999;Allan和Jones，1995）。Kramer等人（2000）最近表明’’。参考文献应首先按字母顺序排列，然后在必要时按时间顺序进一步排序。同一年份来自同一作者的多篇参考文献必须用字母“a”、“b”、“c”等标识，这些字母位于出版年份之后。
The Harvard system of references is used. References should conform to the following style.
使用哈佛参考系统。引用应符合以下样式。

Mannering, F., Hamed, M., 1990. Occurrence, frequency and duration of commuters’ work-to-home departure delay. Transportation Research Part B 24(2), 99-109.
Mannering， F.， Hamed， M.， 1990.通勤者上班到家出发延迟的发生、频率和持续时间。交通研究B部分24（2），99-109。

Video 视频

Elsevier accepts video material and animation sequences to support and enhance your scientific research. Authors who have video or animation files that they wish to submit with their article are strongly encouraged to include links to these within the body of the article. This can be done in the same way as a figure or table by referring to the video or animation content and noting in the body text where it should be placed. All submitted files should be properly labeled so that they directly relate to the video file’s content. In order to ensure that your video or animation material is directly usable, please provide the file in one of our recommended file formats with a preferred maximum size of 150 MB per file, 1 GB in total. Video and animation files supplied will be published online in the electronic version of your article in Elsevier Web products, including ScienceDirect. Please supply ‘stills’ with your files: you can choose any frame from the video or animation or make a separate image. These will be used instead of standard icons and will personalize the link to your video data. For more detailed instructions please visit our video instruction pages. Note: since video and animation cannot be embedded in the print version of the journal, please provide text for both the electronic and the print version for the portions of the article that refer to this content.
爱思唯尔接受视频资料和动画序列来支持和加强您的科学研究。强烈建议有视频或动画文件的作者在文章正文中包含指向这些文件的链接。这可以通过与图形或表格相同的方式完成，方法是参考视频或动画内容并在正文中注明应放置的位置。所有提交的文件都应正确标记，以便它们与视频文件的内容直接相关。为了确保您的视频或动画材料可直接使用，请以我们推荐的文件格式之一提供文件，每个文件的首选最大大小为 150 MB，总共 1 GB。所提供的视频和动画文件将以电子版的形式在爱思唯尔网络产品（包括ScienceDirect）中在线发布。请在您的文件中提供“静止图像”：您可以从视频或动画中选择任何一帧，也可以制作单独的图像。这些将代替标准图标，并将个性化指向您的视频数据的链接。有关更详细的说明，请访问我们的视频说明页面。注意：由于视频和动画不能嵌入到期刊的印刷版中，请为文章中引用此内容的部分提供电子版和印刷版的文本。
Data visualization 数据可视化

Include interactive data visualizations in your publication and let your readers interact and engage more closely with your research. Follow the instructions here to find out about available data visualization options and how to include them with your article.

Supplementary material 补充材料

Supplementary material such as applications, images and sound clips, can be published with your article to enhance it. Submitted supplementary items are published exactly as they are received (Excel or PowerPoint files will appear as such online). Please submit your material together with the article and supply a concise, descriptive caption for each supplementary file. If you wish to make changes to supplementary material during any stage of the process, please make sure to provide an updated file. Do not annotate any corrections on a previous version. Please switch off the ‘Track Changes’ option in Microsoft Office files as these will appear in the published version.
补充材料，如应用程序、图像和声音剪辑，可以与您的文章一起发布，以增强它。提交的补充项目将与收到的完全相同（Excel 或 PowerPoint 文件将在线显示）。请将您的材料与文章一起提交，并为每个补充文件提供简明扼要的描述性标题。如果您希望在流程的任何阶段对补充材料进行更改，请务必提供更新的文件。不要对以前版本的任何更正进行批注。请关闭 Microsoft Office 文件中的“跟踪更改”选项，因为这些选项将显示在已发布的版本中。

Online proof correction 在线校样校对

To ensure a fast publication process of the article, we kindly ask authors to provide us with their proof corrections within two days. Corresponding authors will receive an e-mail with a link to our online proofing system, allowing annotation and correction of proofs online. The environment is similar to MS Word: in addition to editing text, you can also comment on figures/tables and answer questions from the Copy Editor. Web-based proofing provides a faster and less error-prone process by allowing you to directly type your corrections, eliminating the potential introduction of errors.
为确保文章的快速发表过程，我们恳请作者在两天内向我们提供校对更正。通讯作者将收到一封电子邮件，其中包含指向我们在线校对系统的链接，允许在线注释和更正校样。环境类似于 MS Word：除了编辑文本外，您还可以在文案编辑器中对图形/表格进行评论并回答问题。基于 Web 的校对允许您直接输入更正，从而消除了潜在的错误引入，从而提供了更快、更不容易出错的过程。
If preferred, you can still choose to annotate and upload your edits on the PDF version. All instructions for proofing will be given in the e-mail we send to authors, including alternative methods to the online version and PDF.
如果愿意，您仍然可以选择在 PDF 版本上注释和上传您的编辑内容。所有校对说明都将在我们发送给作者的电子邮件中提供，包括在线版本和 PDF 的替代方法。
We will do everything possible to get your article published quickly and accurately. Please use this proof only for checking the typesetting, editing, completeness and correctness of the text, tables and figures. Significant changes to the article as accepted for publication will only be considered at this stage with permission from the Editor. It is important to ensure that all corrections are sent back to us in one communication. Please check carefully before replying, as inclusion of any subsequent corrections cannot be guaranteed. Proofreading is solely your responsibility.
我们将尽一切可能使您的文章快速准确地发表。请仅用于检查正文、表格和图表的排版、编辑、完整性和正确性。对接受发表的文章进行重大更改，只有在获得编辑许可的情况下才会在此阶段进行考虑。重要的是要确保在一次通信中将所有更正发回给我们。请在回复前仔细检查，因为无法保证包含任何后续更正。校对完全由您负责。

AUTHOR INQUIRIES 作者咨询
While TR-Part B appreciates the need to provide authors with timely reviews, and strives to provide reviews within a few weeks of submission, it does sometimes take time to get good and thorough reviews from well-qualified referees. But if an author has not heard a result within 12 weeks of submission, please do immediately notify the editor-in-chief, who will respond promptly and move things along. Of course, the intent is to provide reviews way sooner. As always, thanks for your patience and understanding as we continue to work hard to provide timely reviews. Visit the Elsevier Support Center to find the answers you need. Here you will find everything from Frequently Asked Questions to ways to get in touch.
虽然TR-Part B理解为作者提供及时审稿的必要性，并努力在投稿后的几周内提供审稿，但有时确实需要时间才能从合格的审稿人那里获得良好而彻底的审稿。但是，如果作者在投稿后 12 周内没有听到结果，请立即通知主编，主编将及时回复并推进工作。当然，目的是更快地提供评论。一如既往，感谢您的耐心和理解，我们将继续努力提供及时的评论。请访问爱思唯尔支持中心，找到您需要的答案。在这里，您将找到从常见问题到联系方式的所有内容。
You can also check the status of your submitted article or find out when your accepted article will be published.
