Wireless Communications in Intelligent Transportation Systems

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue of Sensors on the subject area of “Wireless Communications in Intelligent Transportation Systems”. In the next generation of transportation vehicles, we are experiencing a development of faster and more efficient public transportation vehicles. Vehicles such as magnetic levitation trains can reach speeds higher than 400 km/h, and there are plans to increase this speed up to 1000KM/h traveling inside vacuum tubes. Moreover, unmanned vehicles such as UAVs or remote sensing devices demand high-quality communications for control, monitoring, and pay load. In all these cases, a special development of communication systems using state-of-the-art communication technology such as 5G and 802.11xx is necessary, but always considering the operational requirements, propagation environment, and dynamics of the vehicle.

This Special Issue will deal with novel techniques, applications, and propagation models for high-speed/mobility vehicles. Topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to:

• Critical communications for transportation;
• High-speed trains/vehicle communications;
• Unmanned vehicles communications, UAVs, UGVs;
• Aerospace communications with launcher and satellites;
• Ultra-high-speed optimization;
• 5G communications with high dynamics vehicles;
• IEEE 802.11xx communications with high mobility vehicles;
• Remote sensing of vehicles;
• Propagation and channel modeling for communications with vehicles at speeds higher than 300 km/h;
• Communications on ultra-high speed, vacuum, and magnetic levitation trains;
• Remote sensing vehicles.

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.
