Advances in Intelligent Connected Vehicles and Intelligent Transportation Systems

Dear Colleagues,

The technologies of Intelligent Connected Vehicles and Intelligent Transportation Systems, including the Internet of Vehicles and the Cooperative Vehicle Infrastructure System, have promoted the deep integration of smart cars, intelligent transportation, and mobile technology, which will have a profound impact on travel and driving patterns and provide potential economic and social benefits. The recent progress of Intelligent and Connected Transportation Systems benefits from advanced communication protocols, artificial intelligence (AI), and big data. However, there are still several open challenges in the domain of control, management, and analysis for the Intelligent and Connected Transportation Systems.

This Special Issue seeks contributions that present innovative control and analysis methods based on the new-generation intelligent transportation system, as well as contributions focusing on recent advances in urban traffic planning, data mining, and vehicle engineering that solve the most relevant challenges faced by current and future intelligent transportation systems.
