Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid evolution of transportation technologies and the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are reshaping the future of road safety and smart mobility. As the complexity of traffic systems increases, understanding driver behaviour, enhancing vehicle safety, and implementing intelligent transportation solutions have become critical for reducing road crashes and improving overall mobility. Emerging innovations, including AI-driven decision-making, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, and smart infrastructure, are paving the way for safer and more efficient transportation networks.
This Special Issue, “Emerging Solutions and Technologies for Smart Mobility and Vehicle Safety in Transportation”, aims to present cutting-edge research on novel solutions and technological advancements in smart mobility, transportation safety, and intelligent vehicle systems. We welcome contributions that explore data-driven approaches to traffic management, machine learning applications for driver behaviour analysis, crash prediction and prevention strategies, automation in transportation systems, and the role of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) in improving road safety.
We invite original contributions covering, but not limited to, the following topics:
- AI-driven innovations in road safety and driver behaviour analysis.
- Advanced vehicle safety systems and state-of-the-art monitoring technologies.
- Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and adaptive traffic management.
- Human factors and decision-making in automated driving.
- Emerging vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) safety applications.
- Smart mobility solutions and their impact on urban and highway safety.
- The role of AI, big data, and predictive analytics in crash prevention.
- Future mobility trends and advanced digital tools.

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. Vehicles is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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.
