Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

The rapid development of machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, and advanced sensor technologies has led to significant advancements in intelligent transportation systems (ITSs). These innovations have transformed traffic management and object detection, contributing to safer and more efficient transportation networks. The application of AI-driven techniques, including machine learning and deep learning, is at the forefront of this transformation, leading to substantial improvements in areas such as smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and traffic monitoring systems. This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest advancements and innovative solutions that address urban mobility and traffic safety challenges by integrating these cutting-edge technologies.

Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to, the following, aimed at enhancing intelligent transportation systems:·       

  • Advanced driver assistance systems (ADASs), including automony modes such as collision avoidance, adaptive cruise control, lateral control, lane following, intersection navigation, auto parking, etc.;·        
  • Deep learning applications in ITSs;·        
  • Machine learning for traffic prediction and management;·        
  • Efficient object detection models;·        
  • Robust object and obstacle detection;·        
  • Explaninable AI in automy applications;·        
  • Sensor technologies and processing for ITSs;·        
  • Digital signal processing in transportation systems;·        
  • Digital image processing for traffic monitoring;·        
  • Real-time traffic management solutions;·        
  • Autonomous vehicle technologies;·        
  • Traffic safety and security techniques;·        
  • Computationally efficient algorithms for ITSs;·        
  • Computer vision.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Electronics 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.
