[agents] [Drones] (IF: 4.4) Invitation to contribute to Special Issue "Urban Traffic Monitoring and Analysis Using UAVs"

[Wim Ectors]

Dear,

Urban traffic management has become increasingly complex due to the rapid
growth of urban populations and the corresponding rise in vehicular
traffic. Traditional methods of traffic monitoring often fall short in
providing real-time data and insights necessary for effective
decision-making or law enforcement. The integration of Unmanned Aerial
Vehicles (UAVs) into traffic monitoring systems offers innovative solutions
to these challenges. UAVs can cover large areas quickly, provide
high-resolution imagery, and utilize advanced data analytics to enhance
traffic management and enforcement strategies.

This special issue aims to compile cutting-edge research on the application
of UAVs in urban traffic monitoring and analysis. It seeks to explore
innovative methodologies, applications, and technologies that leverage UAV
capabilities to address urban traffic challenges (traffic flow, enhance
safety, smarter urban planning and enforcement initiatives etc.).

We invite original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and insightful
case studies on urban traffic monitoring topics including, but not limited
to:

   - Innovative UAV-based traffic (safety) data acquisition and processing
   techniques
   - Real-time traffic monitoring and event detection using UAVs
   - Integration of UAV data with traffic management systems
   - AI and machine learning applications in UAV traffic analysis
   - Multi-UAV coordination for comprehensive urban traffic surveillance
   - Legal, ethical, policy and safety considerations in UAV deployment
   over urban areas
   - Case studies of UAV implementation in urban traffic scenarios such as
   monitoring, enforcement, analysis etc.
   - Environmental impacts of UAV-based traffic monitoring

Types of articles encouraged include original research papers, review
articles, and case studies.

If this aligns with your work or interests, I encourage you to consider
submitting. Feel free to share this with others who might be interested!
