Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Extreme weather events (e.g., typhoons, tornadoes, downbursts, etc.) have become more commonplace around the world in recent years under global warming, creating significant problems for our metropolitan infrastructure and transportation systems. In order to reduce losses and offer pertinent disaster advice, this Special Issue focuses on emerging technology associated with early warning and monitoring systems under extreme weather conditions.
Original research articles and reviews are encouraged for this Special Issue. The following are examples of possible research topics; however, this is not an exhaustive list:
- Extreme weather-related disasters and losses in urban areas and risk, vulnerability, and impacts.
- Disaster dynamics, turbulence measuring, complex urban aerodynamics, modelling, and control.
- Monitoring and early warning systems for extreme weather and associated meteorological hazards.
- Urban transportation resilience and sustainability, infrastructure testing interventions, and physical infrastructure upgrades.
- Extreme weather and climate change impacts on railway infrastructure.
- Driving safety, train aerodynamics, train longitudinal dynamics, and high-speed trains under crosswinds.

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. Applied Sciences 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
