Message from the Guest Editors
Dear Colleagues,
Due to a generalized doubling in road travels in each
country with an even greater increase in costs associated
to congestion and social costs of road accidents, an
essential and challenging task for transportation
researchers and planners is ensuring the safety of road
networks. To address this important objective, an
interdisciplinary approach is needed, especially
considering the recent rapid developments and
advancements in transportation technologies and smart
sensors. The motivation behind the Special Issue is to
provide concepts, approaches, techniques, and
deployment strategies on the improvement of road safety
through the employment of ITS technologies and Internet
of Things (IoT)-based solutions.
