Collection 

Autonomous driving and traffic systems

Submission status
Open
Submission deadline

As autonomous vehicles redefine transportation, addressing challenges from refining sensor technologies to societal implications becomes imperative. This Collection provides a platform to delve into the multiple facets of autonomous driving and traffic systems, fostering a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities that lie down the road. Beyond technical developments in perception, sensing and detection systems, navigation algorithms, and control mechanisms, we also welcome submissions focusing on the integration of autonomous vehicles into existing traffic systems, the dynamics of human-machine interaction, and the socio-economic impacts during the coexistence of human and autonomous drivers.

To submit, see the participating journals
Autonomous car sensor system concept for safety of driverless mode car control. Future adaptive cruise control sensing nearby vehicle and pedestrian. Smart transportation technology.

This Collection is open for submissions from all authors – and not by invitation only – on the condition that the manuscripts fall within the scope of the Collection and of Nature CommunicationsCommunications Engineering, and Scientific Reports more generally.

All manuscripts will be considered for publication according to the editorial policies of the specific journal which they are submitted through Nature CommunicationsCommunications Engineering, and Scientific Reports. Visit Nature Portfolio’s Collections guidelines for more details.

When submitting your manuscript to Nature CommunicationsCommunications Engineering, or Scientific Reports via our online submission system, please choose the appropriate Collection title from the drop-down menu on the submission form. Please be sure to express your interest in the Collection in your cover letter. Please only submit to one journal, but note authors have the option to transfer to another participating journal following the editors’ recommendation.
