Abstract

This Editorial analyzes the manuscripts accepted, after a careful peer-reviewed process, for the special issue “IoT Sensing Systems for Traffic Monitoring and for Automated and Connected Vehicles” of the Sensors MDPI journal. The special issue has been co-organized by Professors Sergio Saponara and Stefano Giordano, both from the University of Pisa, Italy, and Riccardo Mariani, Vice President, Industry Safety at NVIDIA, USA.

As reported in Section 2 of this Editorial, the 11 selected papers give an overview of the trends in research and development activities about autonomous and connected vehicles and particularly the following: traffic density detection and prediction using closed circuit video systems and connected and autonomous probes as sensors, plus artificial intelligence (AI) techniques; advanced security schemes for over the air update of automotive software in the Internet-of-Vehicle (IoV) scenario; vehicle detection using satellite images; accurate vehicle positioning and quality of service of communication in IoV applications; Vehicle to Everything (V2X) beam alignment; multi-camera vehicle tracking using edge computing; and lightweight on-board solutions for real-time weather prediction to assist in optimal journey planning ...
