Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
New communication technologies, such as 5G and 6G, promise high-bandwidth and real-time capabilities that enable many new use cases in urban environments, such as autonomous driving, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications, the Internet of Things (IoT), virtual and augmented reality, or multi-gigabit wireless mobile broadband and fixed broadband wireless access. Communication standards continue to evolve to reach lower latencies, faster data rates, improved coverage, and higher reliability, granting services to a growing number of connections.
The urban environment is a typical use case where heterogeneous devices, each capable of carrying out one or more functions, can cooperate or act individually to improve the way that citizens experience the urban environment or simplify management operations by competent authorities.
The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together innovative developments and applications for intelligent urban infrastructures. Papers addressing new insights in the development, application, and performance benefits of using sensors and other intelligent devices in smart urban environments, improving current methods and technologies, are welcome. Articles may include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- New development of 5G- and 6G-based intelligent urban infrastructures.
- Integration of sensors and IoT systems in smart urban environments.
- Emerging 5G and 6G standards for new sensor systems and applications.
- Cloud and distributed computing solutions for intelligent urban infrastructures.
- Use cases of 5G- and 6G-sensor-based smart urban solutions.
- Machine learning methods for sensor-based systems and applications in urban environments.
- Architecture proposals for sensor-based urban intelligent systems.
- Virtual and augmented reality use cases and solutions for future cities.
- Computer vision applications for urban sensor-based scenarios.
- Privacy issues and solutions in sensor-based systems and applications.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
