Abstract: This chapter synthesises pivotal themes and research imperatives essential for the future of transport in Asia. Key areas of focus include low-carbon transport, the impact of emerging technologies in smart cities, and sustainability aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals. We examine the challenges posed by rapid urbanisation and economic development, particularly in relation to transport equity and accessibility. Additionally, we highlight the significance of big data and innovative data sources in shaping transport strategies, alongside the effects of disruptive events. The collection of works in this handbook presents a contemporary overview of transport research in Asia, offering diverse case studies that provide valuable policy insights and a forward-looking perspective on sustainable transport systems tailored to the region's unique challenges and opportunities.
