Overview

Transportation represents one seventh of the world's economy. There are many system and software technologies and hybrid intelligence being used to make transportation more clean, efficient, connected and safe. The next generation of connected vehicles is an emerging field, which crosses multiple disciplines including automotive, intelligent transportation, information technology, communications, energy, etc.

This special issue aims to foster the dissemination of high quality research in computational thinking, modern computational methods, modeling and simulation for enabling Intelligent Mobility. Original research articles are solicited in all aspects, including vehicle behavior modeling, environmental awareness, autonomous vehicles and systems, telematics, swarm intelligence, social economics, and experimental prototypes or tools realizing intelligent mobility. The papers will be peer reviewed and selected on the basis of both their quality and their relevance to the theme of this special issue.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Computational modeling and methodologies for Intelligent Mobility:

Issues related to modeling and algorithms that enable the integration of computational intelligence into future mobility. Examples include the artificial neural network, agent-based modeling, fuzzy algorithms, evolutionary algorithms, machine learning, awareness, statistical techniques, cognitive models, etc. to prompt the growth of the intelligent mobility.

Theory, enabling technologies and tools for Intelligent Mobility:

Techniques and methods relating to the implementation of intelligent mobility concepts, including autonomous vehicles and human-like systems. Examples include data mining, information processing, recommendation systems, personalization and adaptation, services and system optimization for intelligent mobility.

Cases/Studies of Intelligent Mobility:

Practical and real-world experience that demonstrate the value of incorporating computational intelligence in transportation and mobility.
