Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past decade, sensor-based localization and tracking have experienced rapid development. Significant advances in sensing technologies, measurement techniques and algorithms have enabled increasingly sophisticated positioning solutions. In particular, hybrid positioning approaches have emerged as a powerful strategy to overcome limitations of individual systems to enable accurate and robust positioning in varying environments and scenarios.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate recent advances in hybrid positioning and tracking. We welcome contributions addressing developments in algorithms, systems and applications, in which several sensing technologies are combined to enable high accuracy and robust solutions. We do not restrict the scope to specific environments or technologies.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Design and evaluation of hybrid positioning and tracking systems combining multiple sensing technologies
- Sensor fusion techniques for improved accuracy and robustness
- Machine-learning approaches applied to hybrid positioning and tracking
- Experimental validation and benchmarking of real-world hybrid positioning and tracking deployments

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-anonymized 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.
