Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is reshaping the landscape of smart transportation by offering innovative solutions to optimize traffic flow, enhance safety, and improve infrastructure management. As transportation systems become increasingly complex, symmetry and asymmetry in data patterns, model architectures, and system behaviors are pivotal in achieving efficient and adaptive designs. This Special Issue explores the intersection of symmetry principles with GenAI to address key challenges in intelligent transportation systems (ITS), such as route optimization, anomaly detection, and predictive maintenance. We invite contributions that focus on the symmetric analysis of generative models, developing symmetric and asymmetric neural network architectures, and applying generative AI in ITS but are not limited to these areas. Submissions highlighting theoretical advancements, methodological details, and experimental results demonstrating reproducibility and practical applications are particularly encouraged. By leveraging the concepts of symmetry, we seek to advance the understanding and implementation of GenAI for smarter, safer, and more efficient transportation ecosystems.

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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
