African Transport Studies

African Transport Research (AFTRAN) is a refereed international journal. It is the official journal of the Society for African Transport Research. AFTRAN aims at providing useful insights into solving Africa-specific transport-related issues from both theoretical and practical perspectives. It covers all transport modes and all issues in the transport sector. While papers dealing with Africa-specific issues are especially welcome, more general transportation papers by African authors are also within the scope of this journal.

The Society for African Transport Research is an international cooperative society of researchers and practitioners who are either based in Africa or focus their research there. Its primary objectives are to foster and support excellence in transportation research and practice and to stimulate professional interchanges in all aspects and modes of transportation. It organizes an international conference on transportation research every two years.
