Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Connected automated vehicles (CAVs), as a product combining the automobile industry and emerging technologies, have developed rapidly worldwide in recent years. Compared with human-driven vehicles (HDVs), CAVs can perceive the environment more accurately and realize coordinated control. Therefore, the application of CAVs can significantly improve the efficiency of the transportation system. Before the middle of the 21st century, the number of CAVs will exceed 70% of global car ownership based on the latest research of the Institute of Electronics Engineers (IEEE). This means that there will be mixed driving on the road of HDVs and CAVs for a long time in the future. Compared with the original traffic flow, the mixed traffic flow can reduce the traffic safety risk, improve the road capacity, and improve the stability of the traffic flow when the proportion of CAVs reaches a certain range. Therefore, this Special Issue is devoted to studying the characteristics of new mixed traffic flow, and on this basis, the mixed traffic flow model and control optimization method are discussed. This Special Issue aims to bring together original research articles and review articles highlighting any aspect of the modeling and control of mixed traffic flow with connected automated vehicles (CAVs). Potential topics include but are not limited to the following: a review of mixed traffic flow models; the car following and lane changing model of CAVs; new theory and method of CAVs; traffic flow management, control, and optimization of CAV traffic flow; simulation method of CAV traffic flow; safety analysis of CAV traffic flow; fuel consumption and emission of CAV traffic flow.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
