Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) stands as a comprehensive and expansive transportation and management system, encompassing a multitude of domains. Its central focus lies in the intricate interplay between people, vehicles, and road infrastructure, harnessing the capabilities of information technology to elevate traffic efficiency and safety. As artificial intelligence (AI) technology continues to advance, the manifold applications of AI have made significant strides in enhancing the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of transportation networks within the ITS paradigm. AI has emerged as a pivotal force in addressing the intricate challenges posed by the future of urban transportation.

Amidst the myriad constituents of ITS, the ongoing trend towards the smartification of transportation infrastructure (including roads, bridges, tunnels, and more) and the relentless pursuit of autonomous driving technology in vehicles stand out as current focal points in ITS research. This Special Issue endeavors to compile the latest applications of artificial intelligence technology in both intelligent transportation infrastructure and autonomous driving. The topics covered include, but are not limited to:

(1) AI-based traffic infrastructure damage detection.

(2) AI-based traffic infrastructure structural health monitoring.

(3) AI-based traffic infrastructure digital twin and maintenance management.

(4) AI-based traffic infrastructure design and construction.

(5) AI-based autonomous driving perception and sensor fusion.

(6) AI-based autonomous driving path planning and decision making.

(7) AI-based autonomous driving vehicle control and optimization.

(8) AI-based intelligent transportation system environmental friendliness.

Complex road environments threaten the safe operation of automated vehicles. Among these, adverse weather conditions and road geometries have particularly significant impacts. This study investigates LiDAR-based automated vehicles (LAVs) driving safety on vertical curved roads in adverse weather. A key methodology involves constructing a failure function that incorporates both the available sight distance (ASD) and the required stopping sight distance (RSD). This function is analyzed using a combined approach of neural networks and Monte Carlo simulations to quantitatively evaluate and generalize the reliability of LAVs under various conditions. The results reveal that variations in weather conditions and vertical curve radii significantly impact the ASD of LAVs, while the influence of speed is relatively minor. Notably, dense fog and rainfall can substantially reduce LAVs’ ASD on vertical curves. Furthermore, the vehicle automation level and speed have a significant impact on driving safety, emphasizing the need for road and operational domain design tailored to LAVs under adverse weather conditions and vertical curve radii.
