Emerging Technologies for Sustainable Intelligent Cooperative Vehicle-Infrastructure Transportation Systems

Dear Colleagues,

We are calling for papers for a Special Issue of the journal Sustainability on research into sustainable, intelligent, cooperative vehicle-infrastructure transportation applications, intelligent vehicle designs, and traffic analysis assisted by emerging technologies. The revolutionary development of sustainable transportation and vehicles brings great opportunities and challenges to improve the safety, throughput, and energy efficiency of transport systems. Effective design and analysis of smart vehicles and transportation systems depend on various technical, operational, and political factors, and require multi-disciplinary and novel techniques. Intelligent vehicles and transportation systems are mutually dependent. The expected dramatic change in intelligent vehicles and sustainable transportation systems is envisioned to happen in the near future. Therefore, new algorithms, sustainable system designs, and analysis tools have become a significant area of research, with emerging techniques. The overall objective of this Special Issue is to collect innovative contributions to the application of advanced techniques in sustainable, intelligent, cooperative vehicle-infrastructure transportation systems. Proposed papers for this Special Issue may cover a broad range of vehicle control, vehicle energy management, intelligent system design, modeling and analysis, connected and automated vehicle, transportation system proactive control, and artificial intelligence applications, as long as the focus is on emerging techniques for 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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
