<p>Dear,</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.).</p>
<p>We invite original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and insightful case studies on urban traffic monitoring topics including, but not limited to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Innovative UAV-based traffic (safety) data acquisition and processing techniques</li>
<li>Real-time traffic monitoring and event detection using UAVs</li>
<li>Integration of UAV data with traffic management systems</li>
<li>AI and machine learning applications in UAV traffic analysis</li>
<li>Multi-UAV coordination for comprehensive urban traffic surveillance</li>
<li>Legal, ethical, policy and safety considerations in UAV deployment over urban areas</li>
<li>Case studies of UAV implementation in urban traffic scenarios such as monitoring, enforcement, analysis etc.</li>
<li>Environmental impacts of UAV-based traffic monitoring</li></ul>
<p>Types of articles encouraged include original research papers, review articles, and case studies.</p>
<p>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!</p>
