Dear Colleagues,

Transport is an integral part of the industrial and social infrastructure, and its sustainability and effective functioning is a prerequisite for economic development, ensuring national security, and improving the population living standards. In recent years, there has been a tendency towards an increase in the motorization level; however, an increase in the provision degree of urban residents with transport services, at the same time, should keep the habitat environmentally clean and sustainable over time. In this regard, the intelligent transport system is one of the most important components of smart cities. It optimizes traffic by displaying the traffic situation on street information panels and users' smartphones, prompts them the best route, and carries many other useful functions. Smart mobility ensures reliable functioning of industrial and other urban subsystems. Therefore, the development of innovations in transport is one of the priority tasks at the present time.

In this Special Issue, we are open to articles exploring the development and promotion of sustainability in urban transport systems. This includes the use of smart city tools in the context of outstripping vehicle fleet growth (traffic detectors, adaptive (smart) traffic lights, automatic traffic violations, electronic means of non-stop fare payment, parking meters, connected information boards, and automated lighting control). Materials describing the rational functioning of the city's transport system based on the development and implementation of an intelligent road infrastructure management system are welcome.
