Intelligent Transportation System in Smart City

Dear Colleagues,

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) play a crucial role in the development of smart cities. These systems provide significant improvements in transportation efficiency, safety, and sustainability in contrast to traditional transportation systems. By integrating advanced technologies, such as complex network theories, neural network algorithms, and combinatorial optimization models, ITS offers transformative approaches for understanding and managing urban traffic. In the future, the development of ITS will become increasingly rapid, and the construction of smart cities will also continue to expand and improve with the support of ITS, creating a safer, more convenient, and higher-quality urban life for people. We are interested in articles that explore the potential and practical applications of ITS in smart cities. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Integration of AI and IoT in ITS for traffic prediction and management;
• Truck platooning routing and logistics transportation optimization;
• Driverless technology and reservation travel strategy in smart cities.

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.
