Guest Editorial Introduction to the Special Issue on Internet of Things in Intelligent Transportation Infrastructure

The Internet of Things (IoT), as an important part of the new generation of information technology, connects any object to the Internet according to the agreed protocol through radio frequency identification, global positioning system, and other information sensing equipment for information exchange and communication. With the continuous development of the IoT technology, it has injected new power into its further development and improvement. The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is the development focus of the IoT, and the improvement of its connection capability enables the application of IoV to be upgraded from vehicle entertainment to unmanned driving, fleet arrangement and management, and traffic intelligent service. With the release of the market potential of IoV, the transportation cost will also drop significantly, and more transformation opportunities will emerge in the traditional intelligent transportation industry. As an important part of intelligent transportation, intelligent city, intelligent village, and intelligent park, the IoT intelligent infrastructure plays an important role in providing high-quality public services, reducing costs, and achieving sustainable development. At present, the IoT intelligent infrastructure has a wide range of demand around the world, and has become an important innovation and industrial development force in this field.
