Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid advancements in autonomous and electric vehicle technologies, the transportation landscape in urban areas is witnessing a significant transformations. As vehicle technologies continue to evolve, they offer promising solutions for sustainable urban transportation. Smart cities, with their integrated infrastructure and data-driven capabilities, present an ideal environment to address the challenges of managing urban mobility efficiently and opportunities for dynamic traffic management. Real-time data from various sources can be utilized to optimize traffic flow, manage signals, and improve overall transportation efficiency. Leveraging smart city infrastructures can alleviate congestion, enhance mobility, and reduce pollution.
Effective traffic management policies are essential for the successful integration of autonomous and non-connected vehicles. Indeed, while autonomous vehicles hold promise for the future, there will be a transitional period with both connected and non-connected vehicles on the roads. Ensuring safe interactions between these vehicle types is vital. These policies can address safety concerns, optimize traffic patterns, and enhance the livability of urban spaces. Balancing the coexistence of autonomous and traditional vehicles requires innovative approaches and seamless coordination to ensure safety and efficiency on the roads.
This Special Issue seeks to explore the potential of coordinating autonomous and electric vehicles within the context of smart cities. We invite researchers to submit original research, theoretical and experimental results, case studies, and review articles related to the coordination of vehicles in smart cities. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Traffic management strategies in smart cities;
- Integration of autonomous and electric vehicles into urban transportation systems;
- Data-driven and AI approaches for traffic optimization;
- Policy frameworks for managing autonomous and non-connected vehicles;
- Impact of coordinated vehicle systems on urban sustainability;
- Case studies and real-world implementations in smart cities.
