Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
The preservation of our infrastructure is an imperative necessity within a society facing emerging and increasingly pressing needs. The aging of infrastructure assets within our transportation networks, coupled with increasing extreme weather events and the greater operational loads supported by our infrastructure, demands particular attention for the conservation of these assets.
As a result, infrastructure managers are directing their focus towards the field of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and the development of methodologies that contribute to the preservation of these assets. With the progress in information and communication technologies, there has been a significant proliferation of new monitoring systems, sensors, and wireless systems. This, combined with the current exponential growth in artificial intelligence, has enabled and expedited the development of data monitoring, analysis systems, and novel methodologies that contribute to a more effective and efficient management of structural assets.
This Special Issue aims to serve as a platform for showcasing the latest endeavors undertaken by researchers across various fields in the development of components, techniques, and methodologies that contribute to the preservation of assets within the transportation network. Consequently, this Special Issue will compile articles encompassing, but not limited to, the following expertise areas:
- Development of new sensors, embedded or wireless systems or methodologies for structural health monitoring;
- Case studies or practical implementation of SHM systems and analysis of structural response to environmental, operational or pathological conditions;
- Development of systems for the prediction, localization or quantification of damage and implementation of early warning systems;
- Creation of methodologies and implementation of digital twin case studies that contribute to the preservation and maintenance of structures;
- Design of maintenance strategies and decision-making tools to improve the efficiency and capabilities of current maintenance systems for transportation network assets;
- State-of-the-art reviews that compile the advances made in any of aforementioned fields.

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. Remote Sensing 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 2700 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.
