Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, the number of research activities related to the utilization of remote sensing technologies towards their implementation in transportation system has increased tremendously. Transportation systems have become a fundamental basis for the economic growth of all nations. Nevertheless, many cities around the world are facing an uncontrolled growth in traffic volume, causing serious problems, such as delays, traffic jams, higher fuel prices, increased CO2 emissions, accidents, emergencies, and the degradation of the quality of life in modern society. Advances in information and communication technologies (ICT) in areas such as hardware, software, and communications have created new opportunities for developing a sustainable, intelligent transportation system. The integration of ICT with the transportation infrastructure will enable a better, safer traveling experience and migration to intelligent transportation systems (ITS), which focus on four fundamental principles: sustainability, integration, safety, and responsiveness. The success of ITS largely depends on the platform used to access, collect, and process accurate data from the environment. Remote sensing (both terrestrial and satellite) has been revealed to be a suitable approach for effectively collecting data on a large scale, with an accuracy level that satisfies the ITS demand. Different advanced technologies have enabled automated modeling, and the interpretation of the data is an interesting topic of remote sensing-based ITS.

Anomaly detection in pedestrian walkways is a vital research area that uses remote sensing, which helps to optimize pedestrian traffic and enhance flow to improve pedestrian safety in intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Engineers and researchers can formulate more potential techniques and tools with the power of computer vision (CV) and machine learning (ML) for mitigating potential safety hazards and identifying anomalies (i.e., vehicles) in pedestrian walkways. The real-world challenges of scenes and dynamics of environmental complexity cannot be handled by the conventional offline learning-based vehicle detection method and shallow approach. With recent advances in deep learning (DL) and ML areas, authors have found that the image detection issue ought to be devised as a two-class classification problem. Therefore, this study presents an Anomaly Detection in Pedestrian Walkways for Intelligent Transportation Systems using Federated Learning and Harris Hawks Optimizer (ADPW-FLHHO) algorithm on remote sensing images. The presented ADPW-FLHHO technique focuses on the identification and classification of anomalies, i.e., vehicles in the pedestrian walkways. To accomplish this, the ADPW-FLHHO technique uses the HybridNet model for feature vector generation. In addition, the HHO approach is implemented for the optimal hyperparameter tuning process. For anomaly detection, the ADPW-FLHHO technique uses a multi deep belief network (MDBN) model. The experimental results illustrated the promising performance of the ADPW-FLHHO technique over existing models with a maximum AUC score of 99.36%, 99.19%, and 98.90% on the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Ped1, UCSD Ped2, and avenue datasets, respectively. Therefore, the proposed model can be employed for accurate and automated anomaly detection in the ITS environment. Full article

Remote sensing is a long-distance measuring technology that obtains data about a phenomenon or an object. Remote sensing technology plays a crucial role in several domains, such as weather forecasts, resource surveys, disaster evaluation and environment protection. The application of remote-sensing images (RSIs) is extensive in some specific domains, such as national security and business secrets. Simple multimedia distribution techniques and the development of the Internet make the content security of RSIs a significant problem for both engineers and scientists. In this background, RSI classification using deep learning (DL) models becomes essential. Therefore, the current research article develops a block-scrambling-based encryption with privacy preserving optimal deep-learning-driven classification (BSBE-PPODLC) technique for the classification of RSIs. The presented BSBE-PPODLC technique follows a two-stage process, i.e., image encryption and classification. Initially, the RSI encryption process takes place based on a BSBE approach. In the second stage, the image classification process is performed, and it encompasses multiple phases, such as densely connected network (DenseNet) feature extraction, extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) classifier and artificial gorilla troops optimizer (AGTO)-based hyperparameter tuning. The proposed BSBE-PPODLC technique was simulated using the RSI dataset, and the outcomes were assessed under different aspects. The outcomes confirmed that the presented BSBE-PPODLC approach accomplished improved performance compared to the existing models. Full article

Roads can be significant traffic lifelines that can be damaged by collapsed tree branches, landslide rubble, and buildings debris. Thus, road damage detection and evaluation by utilizing High-Resolution Remote Sensing Images (RSI) are highly important to maintain routes in optimal conditions and execute rescue operations. Detecting damaged road areas through high-resolution aerial images could promote faster and effectual disaster management and decision making. Several techniques for the prediction and detection of road damage caused by earthquakes are available. Recently, computer vision (CV) techniques have appeared as an optimal solution for road damage automated inspection. This article presents a new Road Damage Detection modality using the Hunger Games Search with Elman Neural Network (RDD–HGSENN) on High-Resolution RSIs. The presented RDD–HGSENN technique mainly aims to determine road damages using RSIs. In the presented RDD–HGSENN technique, the RetinaNet model was applied for damage detection on a road. In addition, the RDD–HGSENN technique can perform road damage classification using the ENN model. To tune the ENN parameters automatically, the HGS algorithm was exploited in this work. To examine the enhanced outcomes of the presented RDD–HGSENN technique, a comprehensive set of simulations were conducted. The experimental outcomes demonstrated the improved performance of the RDD–HGSENN technique with respect to recent approaches in relation to several measures. Full article
