Focus issue on safety, reliability, and trustworthiness
of intelligent transport systems.
Currently, the annual increase in population,
urbanization, industrialization,
and the necessity of smart
infrastructures for smart cities
pose a strong need for
intelligent transport systems
(ITS). The integration of ITS
serves as a key solution to the
main challenges faced in our
day-to-day life, reducing
stress while traveling by
improving the operation of transport systems.
Advanced techniques and technologies are gaining
increasing attention in the development and
deployment of intelligent transportation across the
universe.

A mix of ITS and regular transportation systems
(RTS) in future traffic networks challenges the safety,
reliability, and trustworthiness of ITS, as well as the
holistic safety of traffic networks. Hence, it is crucial to
UPDATE
understand the risks of such
mixed traffic networks where ITS
and RTS are both involved, with
mutual interactions. The risks can
be caused by the following
aspects: the complexity of
operational tasks that ITS has to
deal with has been grossly
underestimated, the reliability of
artificial intelligence (AI)
technology-based decision
making is not sufficient, and ITS
lack a thorough and correct
understanding of human driver
behaviors and intentions in
mixed scenarios. With this in
mind, there are many important
issues that need to be
investigated to facilitate ITS in
performing tasks safely and
properly, and to assure the safety
of traffic networks. This focus
issue welcomes high-quality
research and review papers
relevant to ITS safety, reliability,
and trustworthiness.
The deadline to submit
manuscripts for this special focus
issue is July 31, 2024. For more
information, please contact the
focus issue's editors: Dr. Ci Liang
of Harbin Institute of Technology,
China, or Dr. Martin Törngren of
KTH Royal Institute of
Technology, Sweden. n
