Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recent advancements in computational engineering and artificial intelligence have greatly enhanced object detection models, particularly for transportation systems. Accurate object detection is crucial in improving traffic safety, optimizing transportation networks, and enabling autonomous vehicle technologies. This Special Issue aims to bring together innovative research that applies computational methods and modeling for detecting and analyzing objects in various transportation contexts. We encourage contributions that explore novel algorithms, data-driven models, and practical applications in transportation systems, as well as comparative studies on the effectiveness of existing approaches.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Object detection models for urban and rural transportation systems;
  • AI and machine learning techniques in transportation object detection;
  • Real-time image and video analysis for traffic monitoring;
  • Computational modeling for autonomous vehicle systems;
  • Case studies on transportation safety improvements using object detection models.

We look forward to your valuable contributions and hope that this Special Issue will foster meaningful advancements in computational methods for transportation systems.

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. Computation is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
