Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last decades, due to the development of global positioning and inertial units (GNSS/IMU), there emerges many technologies to acquire remote sensing data. Airborne LiDAR has been prevalent in 1970’s and 1980’s, besides, other alternative or complementary technologies has been also present at different scales, including airborne/shuttle/satellite radar, terrain laser scanning or photogrammetry from either photogrammetric or consumer grade cameras later. These remote sensing data acquired by different sensors and platforms exist in many forms, such as 3D point clouds and images, and they contain rich information about certain geographic locations, climate and environment. Particularly, with the use of these multi-sourced data, a lot of research and development could take place to improve the standard of the operation, like traffic planning, environment impact assessment, hazard and disaster response, infrastructure management, traffic assessment, and homeland security planning.
Remote sensing is an innovative science and technology that is aiding in numerous modes of transportation. Almost every aspect of transportation can benefit from utilizing imagery and data. Remote sensing provides unique ability to detect changes in our transportation system on a real-time bias. Integrate these multi-sourced and heterogeneous remote sensing data and extract useful information from them for specific tasks, such as transportation asset management and traffic flow prediction will make the lives of people much easier and convenient.
This Special Issue aims at studies covering the use of remote sensing data for transportation asset management. Topics may cover anything from the aspect of spatial temporal mining, remote sensing data integration and transportation asset planning and management. Hence, multi-sourced data integration (e.g. multispectral, hyper spectral, and thermal) and heterogeneous data integration (e.g. images and 3D point clouds) approaches or studies focus on transportation planning, congestion relief, asset management, among other issues, are welcome.
Articles may address, but are not limited, to the following topics:
- Terrain analysis
- Traffic flow estimation and prediction
- Traffic data integration
- Transportation anomaly detection
- Trafficability analysis
- Transportation asset planning and management
- Traffic accident detection
- Traffic congestion relief
- Transportation infrastructure
- Rural road discovery and management
- Availability of parking lots estimation
- Transportation network update
- Travel time estimation
