Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue investigates the complex interaction of symmetry and asymmetry in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs). It discusses the complex dynamics of ITSs, covering the comprehensive integration of traffic flow, dispatching, road conditions and vehicle–road interactions. We are committed to ensuring road safety and improving traffic management through careful understanding of the symmetry and asymmetry in these systems.
Our focus is on the key elements of ITSs: road detection, pavement performance prediction and maintenance, traffic flow analysis and traffic accident analysis. By analyzing the complex interaction between symmetric and asymmetric forces in intelligent transportation systems, we can formulate strategies to strengthen traffic management and safety. These strategies can also accurately predict pavement performance, optimize maintenance plans and help the industry adapt to the changing needs of traffic systems. We encourage the submission of in-depth research on these topics that provides opinions regarding their impact on the practical application of traffic engineering.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
