Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on innovations within smart mobility in urban and rural areas, with a specific focus on sustainable and digitalized infrastructures and vehicles. With recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), there is a critical need to integrate a variety of digital devices (e.g., intelligent sensors) into transportation infrastructure both in urban and rural contexts. This concept is receiving increasing attention in academic and technical environments as an ideal strategy for addressing problems in current transportation systems, such as congestion, traffic collisions, pollution, and sustainability. We invite researchers and practitioners to submit original research articles, reviews, and case studies related to integrating AI and the Internet of Things into various innovative domains of smart mobility and transport infrastructure. Submissions should address practical challenges, showcase innovative solutions, and provide insights into the benefits of smart mobility, the implementation of AI, and real-time big data analysis.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to:
- smart road design and construction;
- intelligent and cooperative traffic management systems;
- digital devices;
- intelligent transportation systems;
- railway and tramway infrastructures;
- smart energy-harvesting infrastructure;
- smart urban parking management systems;
- smart disaster prevention and response;
- infrastructure life-cycle sustainability assessment;
- green infrastructures;
- smart monitoring of road pavement.
