Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in sensor technologies have made sensors smaller and more powerful, allowing them to be integrated into a wide variety of systems to provide highly accurate data. The availability of accurate data is essential for the development of artificial intelligence (AI), especially with the progress in this field, where models have become very effective at extracting meaningful information and patterns from sensor data. Indeed, AI is very important because it transforms simple measurements into valuable information for intelligent decision-making. Transportation is one of the sectors that can benefit most from the integration of AI and sensor technology. By enabling real-time monitoring and rapid data interpretation, these systems transform the vast information gathered from vehicles and infrastructure into intelligent mobility solutions. Ultimately, this approach allows us to more effectively address modern challenges such as traffic congestion, public safety, and environmental sustainability.
This Special Issue therefore welcomes the submission of original research articles and review papers on AI-based sensor applications in intelligent transportation systems, with a focus on methods, technologies, and real-world applications that support the development of more efficient transportation systems.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- AI-based traffic monitoring and prediction.
- Real-time traffic management.
- Congestion detection and mitigation.
- Adaptive traffic signal control.
- Smart intersections and smart crossings.
- Near-miss detection and road safety applications.
- Autonomous and connected vehicle systems.
- Demand-responsive transport.
- Smart parking systems.
- Digital twins for mobility.
- Electric vehicle management.
- Predictive maintenance of transport infrastructure.
- Infrastructure monitoring using smart sensors.
- Sensor fusion in intelligent transportation systems.
- Decision support systems for transport planning and operations.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Sensors 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.
