The International Journal of Electrical Engineering in Transportation (IJEET) is published two times a year. It contains original papers and review articles that fit within the scope of the journal.

Submitting a manuscript
Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts written in correct English, complete in their descriptions and not currently under consideration by another journal. All submitted manuscripts will be peer-refereed, and may undergo modifications to attain the quality expected in an international scientific journal. Papers requiring major revision will be rejected.
Manuscripts should be submitted to the Editor only as electronic files (Word format - Arial police). They can be sent by email (to ijeet@utbm.fr) if their size is under 5Mo. Otherwise, a CDROM containing the manuscript and the figures must be mailed to the Editor.
When preparing the manuscript the following should be noted:
· Formatting commands such as centering, justifying, indenting etc. must not be used. Page design will be handled directly by the Publisher.
· The word processor's facilities must be used to indicate the text attributes: bold, italic, subscript, superscript, strikeout.
· The hyphenation facilities of the word processor must not be used.
· When preparing tables, tabs not spaces must be used to align columns.
· When using symbols to denote special characters, a list of all codes used must be supplied.
· An abstract of about 150 words must be included. The abstract should indicate the subject and scope of the paper and summarize the author's conclusions, so as to be a useful document in an information retrieval system.
· A short list of three to four keywords should be included.
