Intelligent Transportation Systems Application in Smart Cities

Dear Colleagues,

We are calling for papers for a Special Issue of the journal Sustainability on research into the intelligent transportation system applications in smart cities. Recently, new technologies on transportation are developing rapidly, such as connected and automated vehicles, and shared mobility services. The rapid evolution of techniques brings great opportunities and challenges to refine the urban transport systems. Successful implementation of intelligent transportation applications depends on multiple factors, including technical, operational, and political aspects. Designing, testing, and implementation of effective intelligent transportation applications require multi-disciplinary and emerging techniques. Meanwhile, new sensing and data resources bring opportunities for data-driven applications to better reflect the features and dynamics of urban transportation systems. The increasingly available data and the complexity of mathematical models also bring the challenge of large-scale computation. Therefore, new algorithms and computation methods have become a significant area of research. The overall objective of this special issue is to collect innovative contributions to the application of advanced transport techniques in smart cities. Proposed papers for this special issue may cover a broad range of modelling, control, design, monitoring, management, and optimization of intelligent transportation system applications, as long as the focus on emerging techniques.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Sustainability 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.
