Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
You are invited to submit to this Special Issue, entitled “Sensors and Sensing Technologies for Traffic, Driving and Transportation”, of Sensors.
The advancement of sensors and sensing technologies for traffic, driving, and transportation has transformed the landscape of intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) and intelligent vehicles. With rapid developments in sensor technologies such as LiDAR, radar, cameras, and V2X communication, modern vehicles and infrastructure are becoming increasingly connected and autonomous. These innovations have enabled safer, more efficient, and smarter transportation systems, where real-time traffic monitoring, autonomous driving, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADASs) are now integral components. As a result, sensors are playing a crucial role in enhancing road safety, reducing congestion, and improving the overall transportation experience.
This Special Issue aims to highlight innovative research on novel sensors, computer vision, artificial intelligence, sensor data processing, sensor data visualization, and the application of sensing technologies in intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) and intelligent vehicles (IVs). We welcome contributions from all fields related to sensors and sensing technologies applied in traffic, driving, and transportation, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Novel sensor modalities (LiDAR, radar, cameras, etc.);
- Data fusion for multiple sensors or multiple sensing modalities;
- Collaborative sensing and V2X communication;
- Sensing technologies for autonomous driving systems;
- Sensing technologies for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADASs);
- Environmental sensing for intelligent transportation;
- Smart infrastructure with sensing capabilities;
- Safety and security of sensing technologies;
- Artificial intelligence in sensing technologies;
- Datasets and data collection methods;
- Applications of sensing technologies in ITSs and IVs.

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.
