Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled “Recent Advances in New Technologies for Intelligent Transportation Systems”, aims to gather high-quality research contributions that highlight the latest technological innovations and their applications in modern transportation systems. The rapid development of artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), 5G communications, and big data analytics has significantly transformed ITSs, enabling smarter, safer, and more efficient mobility solutions.
(1) Focus, Scope, and Purpose:
- Focus: This collection will focus on emerging technologies such as autonomous driving, V2X communication, edge computing, digital twins, and AI-driven traffic management.
- Scope: We welcome contributions on theoretical advancements, system design, real-world implementations, case studies, and performance evaluations related to ITSs.
- Purpose: The issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art technologies and foster interdisciplinary dialogue among researchers, engineers, and policymakers.
(2) Relation to Existing Literature:
This Special Issue will complement the existing literature by emphasizing recent and practical technological deployments, bridging the gap between academic research and industrial application. It will also address emerging challenges such as cybersecurity, data privacy, and system interoperability, which are crucial for the next generation of ITSs.
