Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Navigation and location services are basic needs of human social life. They play a basic supporting role in various military and civilian fields and are widely used in emergency rescue, public safety, mass travel, Internet of Things, smart cities, and other fields. To provide seamless and high-precision indoor and outdoor location-based services, researchers have paid increasing attention to indoor positioning. Various indoor positioning and tracking technologies have been applied in academia as well as in industry, ranging from RFID, Zigbee, UWB, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, visible light, IMU, to magnetic field. However, currently, a general technique widely used, like GNSS, is absent. Each method has its inherent strengths and weaknesses. No single technology dominates the others in terms of accuracy, power consumption, and portability in all practical scenarios.
The aim of the present Special Issue is to foster advances in user activity and location awareness for a wide range of practical applications and research studies. We encourage the submission of both theoretical and applied research results focused on various aspects, including but not limited to, the following:
- Human activity recognition;
- Floor recognition;
- Indoor/outdoor recognition;
- Autonomous positioning and navigation;
- Pedestrian positioning;
- Robot navigation;
- Magnetic positioning;
- Radio frequency positioning;
- Multi-source positioning;
- Digital twin;
- Intelligent vehicle;
- GNSS and applications;
- Location privacy-preserving.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
