Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advancements in intelligent in-vehicle and roadside perception technologies have made it possible to acquire detailed perceptual information about target vehicles and surrounding environments. This information includes operational data, motion trajectories, and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) interaction data. Such insights can be leveraged to explore drivers' cognitive mechanisms, analyze factors influencing traffic conflict risks, and predict traffic flow dynamics, offering significant practical potential. However, several technical challenges still need to be addressed.
This Special Issue will focus on key theoretical and methodological breakthroughs, including trajectory extraction under occlusion conditions, high-quality perception through multi-sensor fusion, extracting accurate trajectories to identify critical traffic state variables, and predicting and evaluating traffic performance. These developments will provide essential guidance for advancing smart road infrastructure, proactive traffic management strategies, and policy formulation, ultimately contributing to safer, more efficient, and sustainable transportation systems.

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.
