Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce a Special Issue on "Information Management and Vehicle Scheduling for Intelligent Transportation Systems", which aims to explore cutting-edge advancements in intelligent transportation systems (ITSs).
The ever-developing information management technology in vehicular networks, including V2X communication, edge computing, and cloud cache, has great potential to enhance road safety, traffic efficiency, energy savings, and the driving experience of intelligent transportation systems. On the other hand, vehicle scheduling serves as another physical way to optimize road efficiency, which inevitably rearranges the information regarding traffic distribution. Therefore, ITSs can benefit from the optimization of information management and vehicle scheduling; more gain can be expected if the two aspects are considered jointly.
To this end, this Special Issue is dedicated to showcasing innovative research that addresses the challenges and opportunities of ITSs, particularly through the optimization of information management and vehicle scheduling. The particular topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Service offloading methods in transportation.
- Differentiated service scheduling in transportation.
- Cooperative communication among vehicles.
- Resource allocation and scheduling in UAV-assisted V2X networks.
- Distribution analysis of computing and communication resources in the Internet of Vehicles.
- Data-driven vehicle scheduling approaches.
- Vehicle route planning and scheduling in autonomous transportation systems.
- Advanced analytics and predictive modeling for vehicle scheduling.
- Dynamic vehicle scheduling algorithms.
- Green/sustainable transportation network optimization.
- Collaborative perception techniques assisted by V2X.
- High-accuracy PNT for autonomous driving.
- Low-earth-orbit satellite-assisted ITSs.
- Joint wireless resource allocation and vehicle scheduling.
- Joint optimization of V2X and vehicle control.

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).
