Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid growth of smart cities is transforming transportation through advanced technologies. This Special Issue highlights the latest innovations and challenges in ITS. A key focus is Intelligent Infrastructure-Assisted ITS, which integrates vehicle–road–cloud information systems to enhance transportation management. By enabling real-time communication, data processing, and predictive analytics, this infrastructure improves traffic management, navigation, and safety while reducing accidents. With edge computing and distributed architectures, it ensures low-latency, cross-modal storage that is crucial for efficient ITS operations. This Special Issue also addresses challenges like energy management, security, and scalable global deployment, inviting high-quality manuscripts on these topics.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of how such infrastructures are being developed, tested, and applied in urban environments while addressing future research directions and challenges. We encourage the submission of high-quality manuscripts that explore the following topics:
- Novel architectures and frameworks for intelligent infrastructure in ITS.
- Edge computing in real-time traffic management and control systems.
- Low-latency communication methods and efficient data storage for ITS applications.
- Cross-modal storage and collaborative computing for enhanced decision-making.
- Energy management, security, and scalability in intelligent transportation infrastructures.
- Multimodal spatiotemporal data integration in intelligent traffic monitoring and optimization.
- Cross-domain traffic entity perception and fusion technologies in intelligent transportation systems.
- Simulation and optimization of intelligent transportation systems based on digital twin technology.

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.
