Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rapid advances in technology have allowed us to witness the dawn of a new, transformative era in the road transport sector. The increasingly large circulation of connected and automated vehicles is becoming an increasingly certain and realizable fact, and furthermore a context in which technological developments and especially the foundations of machine learning and artificial intelligence are of great importance. Defining the road mobility landscape relies heavily on sensors and sensor fusion to perceive the environment, process data in real-time, and make safe and efficient decisions. Several emerging technologies allow vehicles to be sensitive to their surroundings, allowing for the collection of valuable information, but at the same time bringing with them challenges in how to use the information collected to improve the road landscape. In this Special Issue, we aim to reveal the transformative potential of sensory technology-driven systems, with a specific focus on improving mobility, increasing safety, reducing environmental impact and offering unprecedented levels of comfort to passengers and vulnerable road users. In short, our aim is to address the wider impact on traffic operations, urban infrastructures, environmental sustainability and social dynamics with the advancement of technology, while also focusing on aspects of scalability, as well as the cost–benefit ratio. We welcome and look forward to your contributions.

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. 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.
