Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Intelligent transportation systems encompass a wide range of technologies aimed at improving the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of transportation. In particular, with the evolution of communication technology and innovative improvements in computation power, the data that can be collected and transmitted from ITSs are being subdivided into individual vehicle units, and as a result, it is possible to present alternatives to contemporary transportation problems that could not be solved with conventional ITSs. Therefore, the objective of this Special Issue is to discuss novel ITS alternatives to solve problems occurring in various transportation fields and new applications using big data collected from various ITS sensors. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Cooperative intelligence transportation systems;
  • Vehicle sensor data-based analysis;
  • ITS applications of emerging technologies in traffic operation, road maintenance, road safety, and environment;
  • Automated highway systems;
  • Application of AI and machine learning for ITS;
  • Real-time applications of ITS.

A connected vehicle (CV) enables vehicles to communicate not only with other vehicles but also the road infrastructure based on wireless communication technologies. A road system with CVs, which is often referred to as a cooperative intelligent transportation system (C-ITS), provides drivers with road and traffic condition information using an in-vehicle warning system. Road environments with CVs induce drivers to reduce their speed while increasing the spacing or changing lanes to avoid potential risks downstream. Such avoidance maneuvers can be considered to improve driving behavior from a traffic safety point of view. This study seeks to quantitatively evaluate the effect of in-vehicle warning information using per-vehicle data (PVD) collected from freeway C-ITSs. The PVD are reproduced to extract the speed–spacing relationship and are evaluated to determine whether the warning information induces drivers to drive in a conservative way. This study reveals that the in-vehicle warning prompts drivers to increase the spacing while decreasing their speed in the majority of samples. The rate of conservative driving behavior tends to increase during the initial operation period, but no significant changes were observed after this period; that is, the reliability of in-vehicle warning information is not constant in the CV environment.

Predicting metro traffic flow is crucial for efficient urban planning and transit management. It enables cities to optimize resource allocation, reduce congestion, and enhance the overall commuter experience in rapidly urbanizing environments. Nevertheless, metro flow prediction is challenging due to the intricate spatial–temporal relationships inherent in the data and the varying influence of external factors. To model spatial–temporal correlations considering external factors, a novel spatial–temporal deep learning framework is proposed in this study. Firstly, mutual information is utilized to select the highly corrected stations of the examined station. Compared with the traditional correlation calculation methods, mutual information is particularly advantageous for analyzing nonlinear metro flow data. Secondly, metro flow data reflecting the historical trends from different time granularities are incorporated. Additionally, the external factor data that influence the metro flow are also considered. Finally, these multiple sources and dimensions of data are combined and fed into the deep neural network to capture the complex correlations of multi-dimensional data. Sufficient experiments are designed and conducted on the real dataset collected from Xi’an subway to verify the effectiveness of the proposed model. Experimental results are comprehensively analyzed according to the POI information around the subway station. Full article

The advent of autonomous vehicles (AVs) in the traffic stream is expected to innovatively prevent crashes resulting from human errors in manually driven vehicles (MVs). However, substantial safety benefits due to AVs are not achievable quickly because the mixed-traffic conditions in which AVs and MVs coexist in the current road infrastructure will continue for a considerably long period of time. The purpose of this study is to develop a methodology to evaluate the driving safety of mixed car-following situations between AVs and MVs on freeways based on a multi-agent driving-simulation (MADS) technique. Evaluation results were used to answer the question ‘What road condition would make the mixed car-following situations hazardous?’ Three safety indicators, including the acceleration noise, the standard deviation of the lane position, and the headway, were used to characterize the maneuvering behavior of the mixed car-following pairs in terms of driving safety. It was found that the inter-vehicle safety of mixed pairs was poor when they drove on a road section with a horizontal curve length of 1000 m and downhill slope of 1% or 3%. A set of road sections were identified, using the proposed evaluation method, as hazardous conditions for mixed car-following pairs consisting of AVs and MVs. The outcome of this study will be useful for supporting the establishment of safer road environments and developing novel V2X-based trafficsafetyinformation content that enables the enhancement of mixed-traffic safety.
