Submission before March 1, 2025

Urbanization has modernized life but has also caused problems such as traffic congestion, energy consumption, and pollution. Urban computing aims to solve these problems using data generated by the city or opportunistic data obtained through crowdsourcing (e.g., traffic flow, human mobility, geospatial data). It integrates urban sensing, data management, analysis and service provision to continuously improve urban life, urban operations and the environment. Urban computing is interdisciplinary, merging computer science with fields such as civil engineering (e.g., transportation engineering), and sociology.

Smart environments are expanding from artefacts to smart cities, encompassing various urban activities. To understand and optimize urban mobility and human behaviour, machine learning models have been proposed. Smart mobility, or smart transport, is a vital component of smart cities, which use information and communications technologies (ICT) to reduce road accidents, energy consumption, CO2 emissions, noise and congestion. It represents a revolution in intelligent transport systems (ITS), intending to reduce traffic-related greenhouse gas emissions and economic losses due to congestion. Urban Computing covers a wide range of topics, including smart city applications, urban sensing, and spatial analytics. This thematic issue invites contributions focused on innovative methodologies for analyzing and predicting mobility patterns using diverse data sources like GPS traces, mobile phone data, transit logs, and social media feeds.
