Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the latest advancements in intelligent transportation systems, highlighting transformative developments in connected automated vehicles, unmanned aerial systems, and integrated transportation networks. These innovations are reshaping the future of transportation, offering new opportunities and challenges for optimization and integration across multi-dimensional systems.
Numerical optimization has achieved significant progress in enhancing the efficiency, sustainability, and adaptability of transportation systems. By integrating advanced optimization techniques with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), real-time data can be effectively utilized to improve decision making, energy efficiency, emission reduction, and coordination between ground and air transportation. These advancements are driving the creation of smarter, more cohesive transportation ecosystems.
This Special Issue explores critical topics such as traffic flow modeling, energy and emission optimization, unmanned system coordination, and multi-modal transportation planning. It aims to showcase cutting-edge research and foster interdisciplinary collaboration to address the complexities of modern transportation systems.
We invite contributions that advance the theory, methodology, and applications of numerical optimization in this rapidly evolving field. Join us in exploring innovative solutions to shape the future of integrated multi-dimensional 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. Mathematics 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 2600 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.
