Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mobile sensing technologies are revolutionizing how we understand and interact with urban environments. By leveraging the ubiquity of smartphones, wearables, and IoT devices, we can now capture real-time data on traffic patterns, air quality, human mobility, and social interactions. This wealth of data, combined with advances in machine learning and edge computing, opens new possibilities for optimizing city operations, improving sustainability, and enhancing citizen well-being.
At the heart of this convergence lies the transformation of cities into living laboratories, where every sensor-enabled device becomes a data source for understanding urban systems' complex dynamics. Mobile sensing enables crowdsourcing of environmental data, participatory monitoring of infrastructure, and real-time tracking of public services, empowering citizens to actively shape their urban environment. As we look to the future, integrating mobile sensing with emerging technologies like 5G, AI, and digital twins will further unlock smart cities' potential.
This Special Issue on "Mobile Sensing for Smart Cities" explores the latest advancements, applications, and challenges in mobile sensing for smart cities. We aim to foster interdisciplinary collaborations, drive innovative solutions, and contribute to the realization of sustainable, resilient, and citizen-centric urban environments. By bringing together diverse perspectives from multiple disciplines, including computer science, environmental science, urban planning, and public policy, this Special Issue aims to explore sensor fusion, energy-efficient sensing, privacy-preserving analytics, incentive mechanisms, and the integration of mobile sensing with emerging technologies.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
