Introduction (Editorial)

Abstract

The international journal of Computer‐Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering is a rigorously peer‐reviewed research journal, published 12 times per year and devoted to the publication of original research articles describing novel computational algorithms and innovative applications of computers in civil and infrastructure engineering. This special issue is focused on the opportunities and challenges in the rapidly growing area of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs)—exploring research issues in the planning, design, operation, and management of transportation systems. New traffic flow models, data analysis, computational frameworks, and network control approaches are needed to obtain insight into CAVs and understand their impacts.
