Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue calls for original research and review articles focusing on the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in addressing the challenges and complexities of modern traffic management systems. AI technologies are transforming how transportation networks operate, offering innovative solutions to enhance efficiency, safety, and sustainability. This Special Issue aims to explore (i) the development and application of advanced AI technology in optimizing and controlling road and waterway transportation, (ii) the integration of AI with intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) to improve decision making and real-time traffic operations, and (iii) AI’s potential in promoting sustainable, intelligent, and resilient urban transportation systems, as well as ocean-going transportation systems.
This Special Issue will complement the existing literature by providing a comprehensive, cross-sectoral perspective on AI applications in waterway and road traffic management. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- AI-driven traffic forecasting and congestion management;
- AI-based systems for sustainable transportation planning;
- AI in traffic safety analysis and accident prevention;
- AI in ocean-going vessels’ decision making;
- AI in maritime management;
- Big data analytics for shipping and traffic monitoring.
