Special issue on internet of things and artificial intelligence in smart vehicle revolution

The internet of things (IoT) has become the leading infrastructure for our modern and smart transport. Connected sensing devices provide crucial infor-mation for further analytics via artificial intelligence (AI) which aims at optimizing the performance of transportation systems and applications. One of the best examples is the autonomous vehicle which is supported by numerous sensors like GPS, sonar, radar, camera, inertial and odometry modules. There are many use cases of IoT applications in intelligent transportation system (ITS), namely geo-fencing, asset utilization, inventory man-agement, public transport management, traffic monitoring, situational awareness, urban planning, fleet management, predictive maintenance and traffic safety enhancement. However, similar to other applications, the adoption of IoT in transportation also experiences technical challenges, for instance, security, privacy, standards, regulations, connectivity, network infrastructure and investment cost. This special issue is intended to report high-quality research on recent advances towards IoT and AI in the transportation revolution, more specifically on the state-of-the-art theories, methodologies and systems for the design, development, deployment and innovative use of those convergence technologies, in order to provide insights into the theoretical and technological revolution in transportation science and engineering. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
