The emergence of Intelligent Connected Vehicles (ICVs) is expected to drastically change various fields in the transportation system-especially traffic safety of road users. Therefore, this special issue aims to facilitate a forum for transportation researchers fostering an exchange of research ideas and experience in traffic safety with a specific focus on operations, planning and management of ICVs. The issue contains thirty-six papers from seven different countries. Topics are classified into seven categories: (1) Driving behavior in the ICV environment; (2) Safety evaluation of ICVs; (3) ICV driving/management strategies; (4) New framework for ICV safety analysis; (5) ICV safety for vulnerable road users; (6) Perception towards ICVs; and (7) Security issues relating to ICVs. The papers are concisely introduced in this editorial. All the papers were invited to present at the International Symposium on Accident Analysis & Prevention in 2021 (ISAAP 2021) and the symposium was successfully held. The research conducted in these articles reveal challenges and future directions in the area of ICVs that include further developing novel methodologies and algorithms for collision-free trajectories of ICVs, testing diverse scenarios in complex environments with mixed traffic, and addressing inherent safety risks of specific vulnerable road users (e.g., older road users, bicyclists, riders of micro-mobility vehicles).
智能网联汽车（ICV）的出现有望彻底改变交通系统中的各个领域——尤其是道路使用者的交通安全。因此，本期特刊旨在为交通研究人员提供一个论坛，促进他们在交通安全方面交流研究思路和经验，重点关注 ICV 的运营、规划和管理。本特刊共收录了来自七个国家的三十六篇论文。这些论文的主题被分为七个类别：（1）ICV 环境下的驾驶行为；（2）ICV 的安全评估；（3）ICV 驾驶/管理策略；（4）ICV 安全分析新框架；（5）ICV 对弱势道路使用者的安全；（6）对 ICV 的认知；以及（7）与 ICV 相关的安全问题。本期特刊对所有论文进行了简要介绍。所有论文均受邀在 2021 年事故分析与预防国际研讨会上（ISAAP 2021）发表，该研讨会成功举办。这些文章中的研究揭示了 ICV 领域的挑战和未来发展方向，包括进一步开发用于 ICV 无碰撞轨迹的新方法和算法，在混合交通的复杂环境中测试各种场景，以及解决特定弱势道路使用者（如老年人、自行车骑手、微移动车辆骑手）的固有安全风险。
