Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Urban planning and its relevant transportation deployment have a particularly profound influence on the sustainability and liveability of a city, and which will also be crucial to the quality of life of urban residents at the same time. It was also suggested that the conception of liveability should be extended to embrace the concerns associated with the sustainability. The connection between urban/regional traffic and urban behaviour has become one of the important focuses of urban research, and the traffic framework, linked to the rhythmic movement of urban entities, provides the key to restoring the organizational process and self-organization of urban complex systems. Often referred to as externalities, this connection determines the development, potential, constraints, and sustainability of urban entities—population, capital, behaviour, assets, scenarios, and even the sense of belonging and well-being of different social groups. Following the rising advancements in social communication and computer technologies in modern society, big data analysis technology, artificial intelligence technology, and virtual reality technology play an important role in urban planning for sustainable transportation. These methods include advanced decision-making policies for traffic control, autonomous vehicles approaches, and 3D urban reconstruction approaches for traffic planning.
This Special Issue will highlight new opportunities and challenges for sustainable transportation in urban planning, focusing on how to use big data analysis technology, autonomous vehicles technology and 3D reconstruction technology to improve and evaluate the transportation system in urban planning.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:
- Analysis of the link between urban/regional traffic and urban behaviour;
- Research on organizational processes and self-organized traffic frameworks and rhythmic movements of urban entities for the restoration of urban complex systems;
- Big data applications to sustainable transport and traffic control modelling;
- Data analysis on pedestrian flow and traffic flow, especially how to improve traffic flow capacity through big data processing technology;
- Decision-making system to assist traffic control network managers in planning, monitoring, and managing;
- Computer vision technology on scene recognition of road traffic;
- Vehicle perception technology on road traffic environment;
- Autonomous vehicles technology in transport safety and the driving behaviours;
- 3D object recognition in urban traffic;
- Optimizing the designs and operations of transportation facilities by 3D simulation. Evaluating the effectiveness of various measures on relieving traffic congestion, reducing traffic emission, and improving traffic sustainability.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. 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).
