Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In order to place autonomous cars slowly into our everyday lives from the world of science fiction, there was a need for new, or rather more accurate sensors and also a major development of artificial intelligence. This Special Issue of Sensors seeks the submission of review and original research articles related to sensors and sensor fusion in autonomous vehicles. Papers can focus on safety mistakes, security aggression, and achievable countermoves for self-driving vehicles, as well as Blockchain-based security attacks, flexible patterns for self-driving cars, and the STPA method and six-step model to integrate autonomous vehicle safety and security. Other research can give an overview of autonomous vehicle safety or study the cybersecurity of self-driving and remotely controlled transportation. The Special Issue is open to contributions dealing with many aspects of autonomous vehicle sensors and their fusion, such as multisensor fusion, big data processing for autonomous vehicles, sensor-related research, algorithms/technical development, and artificial intelligence methods for autonomous vehicle navigation.

Public transportation is a crucial component of urban transportation systems, and improving passenger sharing rates can help alleviate traffic congestion. To enhance the punctuality and supply–demand balance of dedicated buses, we propose a hierarchical multi-objective optimization model to optimize bus guidance speeds and bus operation schedules. Firstly, we present an intelligent decision-making method for bus driving speed based on the mathematical description of bus operation states and the application of the Lagrange multiplier method, which improves the overall punctuality rate of the bus line. Secondly, we propose an optimization method for bus operation schedules that respond to passenger needs by optimizing departure time intervals and station schedules for supply–demand balance. The experiments were conducted in Future Science City, Beijing, China. The results show that the bus line’s punctuality rate has increased to 90.53%, while the retention rate for platform passengers and the intersection stop rate have decreased by 36.22% and 60.93%, respectively. These findings verify the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed hierarchical multi-objective optimization model. Full article

Information fusion in automated vehicle for various datatypes emanating from many resources is the foundation for making choices in intelligent transportation autonomous cars. To facilitate data sharing, a variety of communication methods have been integrated to build a diverse V2X infrastructure. However, information fusion security frameworks are currently intended for specific application instances, that are insufficient to fulfill the overall requirements of Mutual Intelligent Transportation Systems (MITS). In this work, a data fusion security infrastructure has been developed with varying degrees of trust. Furthermore, in the V2X heterogeneous networks, this paper offers an efficient and effective information fusion security mechanism for multiple sources and multiple type data sharing. An area-based PKI architecture with speed provided by a Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) is given in especially for artificial neural synchronization-based quick group key exchange. A parametric test is performed to ensure that the proposed data fusion trust solution meets the stringent delay requirements of V2X systems. The efficiency of the suggested method is tested, and the results show that it surpasses similar strategies already in use. Full article
