Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Sensors in Smart City Transportation and Logistics

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The emergence of ChatGPT-like products has sparked discussions on AI development and applications, including in intelligent transportation and logistics in urban areas. Examples include unmanned driving, contactless delivery, intelligent warehousing, and touchless passage. New sensors and their combinations play a significant role, and these developments have demonstrated powerful resolution during the COVID-19 pandemic and high potential in an aging society.

This Special Issue, therefore, aims to put together original research and review articles on recent advances, technologies, solutions, applications, and new challenges in the field of AI and sensors in smart city transportation and logistics.

Potential topics include but are not limited to:

  • AI and sensors for autonomous systems;
  • Sensor-based artificial intelligence in smart city transportation and logistics;
  • AI-based sensing in smart city transportation and logistics;
  • IoT in smart city transportation and logistics;
  • Eye tracking and neurophysiological technology;
  • Autonomous transport and logistic systems on airports;
  • V2X for smart transportation; 
  • Smart multimodal transportation;
  • Smart harbor;
  • Smart warehouse.
