Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the ongoing evolution of transportation systems toward greater intelligence and autonomy, autonomous transportation systems characterized by the deep integration of various transportation elements represent a significant milestone in the development of intelligent transportation. The advancement of autonomous transportation will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of mobility, where diverse transportation agents will collaborate through cutting-edge sensing and interoperability technologies to enhance both efficiency and safety. This Special Issue seeks to gather a series of pioneering research efforts focused on the application of interoperability technologies in autonomous transportation systems, supported by advanced sensor capabilities. We invite original contributions that have neither been previously published nor are under consideration elsewhere. Submissions are welcome in the form of both theoretical studies and cutting-edge practical applications. All submitted papers will undergo peer review and be selected based on their scientific merit, quality, and relevance to the theme of this Special Issue.
The topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Autonomous transportation systems
- Interoperability technologies
- Consistent interaction semantics
- Integration of sensor, communication, and computing resources
- Interoperability requirements and mechanisms
- Crowd intelligence and decision control
- Multi-agent cooperative control
- Crowd sensing
- Simulation and testing of interoperability technologies
- Collaborative perception technologies

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.
