Selected Papers from the 7th International Conference on Road and Rail Infrastructure CETRA 2022

Dear Colleagues,

Nowadays, due to the increasing demands imposed on the transport sector, vehicles and transport infrastructures worldwide have been going through a comprehensive restructuring process. The current habits of users and operators are changing dramatically, requiring the use of new technologies that will be reflected in new, more modern road and rail vehicles. The development and modernization of vehicles must inevitably be accompanied by the modernization of transport infrastructure, which, due to the use of new and modern technologies, increasingly requires interdisciplinary cooperation, in which a highly significant role is assumed by electrical engineering.

The cooperation of experts and scientists from the fields of civil engineering and electrical engineering is becoming increasingly necessary, and the future of this collaboration is certain to yield many new technologies and solutions that will find applications in transport infrastructures around the world. To encourage this collaboration, this Special Issue welcomes papers presented at the 7th International Conference on Road and Rail Infrastructure, CETRA 2022, which focus on the field of electrical engineering and are essential for the development of vehicle and transport infrastructures. The published papers shall be related to hybrid and autonomous vehicles, rail infrastructure monitoring, sustainable mobility, remote sensors, rail diagnostics, and power supply of transport systems and traction vehicles.
