Dear Colleagues,

Recent advances in information and communication technologies are facilitating substantial improvements in transportation, providing technologies and developments that ensure safer and more efficient mobility. Novel technologies such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, advanced automation, etc. are providing solutions which when applied to the transport industry are creating ground-breaking applications that are challenging the way transport is perceived in the society of 21st century.

Disciplines such as autonomous and connected vehicles, advanced driver assistance systems, computer vision and 3D detection, traffic control, and human factors in intelligent vehicles are examples of how intelligent transportation systems are fostering the development of novel solutions for the transport of the new connected and smart societies.

This Special Issue aims to provide advances on these topics, providing insight into the technologies that are transforming people’s lives. The topics covered include, but are not limited to:

• LiDAR and 3D sensors technologies;
• Navigation and localization;
• Trajectory planning and control;
• Air, road, rail, and waterway transportation networks and systems;
• Big Data and naturalistic datasets;
• Emergency management;
• Field trials, tests, and deployment;
• Fleet management;
• Human factors;
• Advanced driver assistance systems (ADASs);
• Autonomous and connected vehicles;
• Interconnected vehicles and transportation systems;
• Interoperable multi-modal transportation networks and systems;
• Logistics;
• Modelling, control, and simulation algorithms and techniques;
• Multimodal transportation networks and systems;
• Sensors, detectors, and actuators;
• Smart mobility;
• Traffic control and management;
• Data fusion;
• Environment perception;
• Computer vision.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
