Intelligent Transportation Systems for Sustainable Mobility

Dear Colleagues,

Sustainable mobility requires safe, equitable, and adaptable multi-modal transportation systems. Automated vehicle technology, smart infrastructure, and connected systems impact these systems in both their design and operations in sometimes new and unexpected manners. Often lost in the discussion of vehicle automation and smart infrastructure is the human element—as ultimately new transportation technology will interact with humans. Facing the next generation of transportation engineers, researchers, and scientists is the challenge of designing and operating sustainable mobility systems that are safe, effective, and equitable.

This Special Issue seeks papers focusing on research investigating the safety impacts of new automated vehicle technology on all modes of travel, the equitable design and operation of multi-modal systems in the context of smart infrastructure and human impacts, and interactions with the next generation of sustainable mobility infrastructure.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
