Sensing Advancement and Health Monitoring of Transport Structures

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art applications, numerical and theoretical developments of sensing techniques within the context of assessment, and health monitoring of transport infrastructures and construction materials. Sensing systems of interest are related to active and passive sensors, analogue and digital sensors, and ground-based, embedded, and remote sensing systems. Sensors based on acoustic, electrical, electromagnetic, chemical, optical, and radioactive principles are considered, amongst others, in both stand-alone and integrated multi-source operating modes. Hence, papers with a focus on areas including, but not limited to, highways, railways, and airfields, as well as construction materials, are encouraged. Review papers in the above outlined research areas will also be considered.

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.
