Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The paradigm of vehicular communication and networking systems is gaining momentum on a global scale. Intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) are receiving increasing attention in both academia and industry as a result of the rising demands for improved urban mobility, operation efficiency, and traffic safety. Intelligent transportation systems use advanced information and communication technologies, sensors, and electronics, as well as big data and artificial intelligence, to solve problems such as traffic congestion, transportation efficiency, environmental factors, etc. However, several challenges in the field of intelligent transportation remain, particularly in relation to autonomous driving, energy efficiency, scene understanding, localization and mapping, navigation and path planning, etc.
This Special Issue aims to exhibit and discuss current challenges as well as state-of-the-art technological developments and future directions in the theory, analysis, simulation, design, and optimization of transportation systems. Both original research articles and comprehensive reviews are welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Regulation, standardization, and management in ITS;
- Advanced sensing and wireless technologies for ITS;
- Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications in ITS;
- Vehicle localization, object tracking, and navigation;
- Machine learning and artificial intelligence-based techniques for ITS;
- Green and sustainable solutions for ITS.

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. Electronics 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.
