Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is disrupting research nowadays, especially in future mobility and transportation issues. Numerous approaches have already been published in domains such as autonomous vehicles, smart transportation networks, intelligent traffic management systems, and advanced driver-assistance systems.

The development of AI-driven information and engineering systems for future mobility has the potential to revolutionize the way we move around in our daily lives. By leveraging the power of AI, these systems can improve safety, reduce congestion, enhance energy efficiency, and provide new levels of convenience and comfort for users.

Some of the key technologies and concepts that are relevant to this topic include machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, sensor fusion, intelligent transportation systems, human–machine interaction, and cloud computing. Additionally, there is a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration as well as a focus on specific mobility branches (e.g., UAV).

Overall, the development of AI-driven information and engineering systems for future mobility is a rapidly evolving field that has the potential to transform the way we move and interact with our environment. Some of the keywords that are relevant to this topic include AI, mobility, transportation, autonomous vehicles, machine learning, sensor fusion, smart cities, and human–machine interaction.

This Special Issue invites scientific contributions proposing new, innovative, and original approaches to AI-based solutions in the mobility sector. It aims to provide an opportunity for academics and practitioners to share their theoretical and practical knowledge and findings in the field, with the aim to move the state-of-the-art and the state-of-the-practice forward. This Special Issue includes articles on the following:

  • Decision making under uncertainty;
  • Energy-efficient mobility solutions;
  • Cybersecurity for connected vehicles;
  • Smart traffic management systems;
  • Sensor networks for transportation monitoring;
  • Multi-modal transportation systems;
  • Edge computing for intelligent transportation systems;
  • UAV-specific topic (automated flight, U-Spaces, …);
  • Computer vision-related topics (multi-object multi-sensor tracking, etc.).

The main task in visual object tracking is to track a moving object in an image sequence. In this process, the object’s trajectory and behavior can be described by calculating the object’s position, velocity, acceleration, and other parameters or by memorizing the position of the object in each frame of the corresponding video. Therefore, visual object tracking can complete many more advanced tasks, has great performance in relation to real scenes, and is widely used in automated driving, traffic monitoring, human–computer interaction, and so on. Siamese-network-based trackers have been receiving a great deal of attention from the tracking community, but they have many drawbacks. This paper analyzes the shortcomings of the Siamese network tracker in detail, uses the method of feature multi-scale fusion to improve the Siamese network tracker, and proposes a new target-tracking framework to address its shortcomings. In this paper, a feature map with low-resolution but strong semantic information and a feature map with high-resolution and rich spatial information are integrated to improve the model’s ability to depict an object, and the problem of scale change is solved by fusing features at different scales. Furthermore, we utilize the 3D Max Filtering module to suppress repeated predictions of features at different scales. Finally, our experiments conducted on the four tracking benchmarks OTB2015, VOT2016, VOT2018, and GOT10K show that the proposed algorithm effectively improves the tracking accuracy and robustness of the system.
