Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rapid urbanization, the proliferation of heterogeneous data sources, and advances in computational intelligence have opened new opportunities for understanding and optimizing urban mobility systems at scale. This Special Issue addresses the emerging challenges and opportunities in the design, management, and operation of next-generation urban mobility.
The collection showcases cutting-edge research on modeling human and vehicular mobility, leveraging urban computing techniques for data-driven decision-making, and developing intelligent transportation systems that enhance efficiency, resilience, and sustainability. Contributions cover a broad spectrum of topics, including data collecting and analysis, travel demand and land use models, social impact and accessibility of urban transport, machine learning and artificial intelligence for traffic prediction, transport models and digital twins, large-scale mobility simulations, IoT-enabled sensing and control, multimodal transport integration, environmental impact of traffic, and policy-driven approaches for sustainable, user-centric mobility.
By bridging disciplines such as computer science, transportation engineering, urban studies, and environmental engineering, this Special Issue highlights how intelligent, data-informed solutions can drive the transformation of urban mobility toward safer, more adaptive, and environmentally sustainable systems.
We look forward to your valuable contributions.

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. Urban Science 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 1600 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.
