Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Safety and security are significant enablers for self-driving vehicles and the future of transportation. Any security issues in these complex machines can lead to a safety-critical event, such as a life-threatening accident. As a result, there is an urgent need to develop algorithms and tools that can evaluate their system and security. Developing a safe and secure self-driving car requires extensive knowledge in a variety of aspects, including, but not limited to, safety, security, perception, localization, control, path planning, prediction, sensing, etc. Furthermore, the recent increase in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in self-driving technologies opens up a broad field of research with tremendous progress in addressing the fundamental challenges of ensuring their safety and security.

This Special Issue of Machines focuses on the most recent scientific and technical research in both academic and industrial sectors. For autonomous driving technologies, these topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Safety and security analysis of self-driving cars;
  • Safe and secure path prediction and planning;
  • Safe and secure localization;
  • Safe and secure object detection and classification;
  • Sensor spoofing detection and mitigations;
  • Safe and secure machine learning.

We look forward to receiving your submissions.

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. Machines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Road safety through point-to-point interaction autonomous vehicles (AVs) assimilate different communication technologies for reliable and persistent information sharing. Vehicle interaction resilience and consistency require novel sharing knowledge for retaining driving and pedestrian safety. This article proposes a control optimiser interaction framework (COIF) for organising information transmission between the AV and interacting “Thing”. The framework relies on the neuro-batch learning algorithm to improve the consistency measure’s adaptability with the interacting “Things”. In the information-sharing process, the maximum extraction and utilisation are computed to track the AV with precise environmental knowledge. The interactions are batched with the type of traffic information obtained, such as population, accidents, objects, hindrances, etc. Throughout travel, the vehicle’s learning rate and the surrounding environment’s familiarity with it are classified. The learning neurons are connected to the information actuated and sensed by the AV to identify any unsafe vehicle activity in unknown or unidentified scenarios. Based on the risk and driving parameters, the safe and unsafe activity of the vehicles is categorised with a precise learning rate. Therefore, minor changes in vehicular decisions are monitored, and driving control is optimised accordingly to retain 7.93% of navigation assistance through a 9.76% high learning rate for different intervals.
