Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to this Special Issue on Future Road and Geometric Design.
Emerging advanced driver assistance, automated driving, and vehicle–infrastructure cooperation in automated driving technologies are increasingly being deployed around the world, and it is a matter of time before the transportation landscape changes dramatically. Predicting the brand-new requirements of these technologies for roadway infrastructures has become one of the critical tasks in boosting their implementations. As a feasible form of Future Road, digital roadway infrastructures (DRI) are receiving exponentially increasing attention from both academia and industry. Through digital devices or sensors integrated with advanced information and communication technology, DRI can exchange sensing data with automated vehicles and facilitate vehicles to realize collaborative perception, decision-making, and kinematic control. For meeting the circumstances of mixed automation technologies and human-machine interaction technology, it is important to explore whether the geometric design controls for DRI are more or less rigorous than the existing human specifications.
In this Special Issue, we invite submissions exploring cutting-edge research and recent advances in the fields of Future Road and Geometric Design. Both theoretical and experimental studies are welcome, as well as comprehensive review and survey papers.

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.
