Advanced Technologies and Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable and Intelligent Transportation Systems: Second Edition

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is a continuation of a previous successful issue, “Advanced Technologies and Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable and Intelligent Transportation Systems”. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have become essential components of modern mobility infrastructure. Beyond the fundamental requirements of safety, affordability, and accessibility, there is increasing emphasis being placed on sustainability as a guiding mission.

Over the years, substantial progress has been made in research on and the development of ITS. However, with the growing complexity of transportation networks, there is a pressing need to enhance and upgrade existing systems using cutting-edge technologies and artificial intelligence (AI). This aligns with global goals outlined in initiatives such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the European Commission’s Mobility and Transport policies.

This Special Issue aims to showcase high-quality, original research on recent advances in AI and emerging technologies in the transportation domain. We particularly encourage contributions that highlight state-of-the-art theories, novel methodologies, and innovative systems for the design, development, deployment, and application of these technologies. Submissions that offer theoretical insights, technological innovations, and real-world or pilot case studies are equally welcome.

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

• Large-scale data collection, storage, and processing for ITS
• Deep learning applications in ITS
• Transfer learning for transportation systems
• Big data analytics and technologies for ITS
• Autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles
• Edge, fog, and cloud computing for transportation infrastructure
• Cybersecurity challenges and solutions in ITS
• Video, image, and signal processing techniques for transportation systems
• We look forward to your valuable contributions that will help shape the future of sustainable and intelligent transportation systems.
