Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The main objective of this Special Issue is to present contemporary R&D achievements in highway traffic management. The last decade has been marked by the development of new systems and traffic services for highway networks that significantly improve traffic efficiency and the sustainability of the entire system. This is marked by the transformation from a data-poor state to a very rich data system. As a consequence, ways of better using this potential are sought through the better integration of systems and associated services. In this sense, modern traffic management systems should enable the better use of existing road capacities without the constant need to build new road infrastructure. This is the fundamental vision of the intelligent transport systems concept. In addition, in the near future, great challenges are expected with regard to higher-quality traffic demand management solutions. For the purposes of the assessment of highway network performance, it is necessary to constantly improve the selection of appropriate key performance indicators (KPIs).
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
