Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is devoted to all possible applications of the GPS-GNSS system, which is an important element of the global information infrastructure. Free and reliable access to the GPS-GNSS system has led to the development of hundreds of applications that affect every aspect of modern life.
GPS technology is currently used in everything from cell phones and precision watches to bulldozers, marine vessels, and even ATM machines. GPS improves productivity in various sectors of the economy, including agriculture, construction, mining, surveying, and postal services. Major network communications, banking systems, and electrical grids rely heavily on GPS for accurate time synchronization. GPS saves lives by preventing traffic accidents, facilitating search and rescue operations, and speeding up the delivery of emergency services and disaster relief. The solution to many pressing urban problems (for example, full automation of urban transport) is impossible without the widespread introduction of new GPS systems. It is vital for the next generation of the air transport system, which should contribute to improving flight safety while increasing airspace capacity, and is also necessary for solving scientific and practical problems, such as weather forecasting, earthquake monitoring, solving a number of tectono-geodynamic problems, and environmental protection.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
