Abstract
This editorial introduces the special issue entitled “Applications of Internet of Things”, of ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information. Topics covered in this issue include three main parts: (I) intelligent transportation systems (ITS), (II) location-based services (LBS), and (III) sensing techniques and applications. Three papers on ITS are as follows: (1) “Vehicle positioning and speed estimation based on cellular network signals for urban roads,” by Lai and Kuo; (2) “A method for traffic congestion clustering judgment based on grey relational analysis,” by Zhang et al.; and (3) “Smartphone-based pedestrian’s avoidance behavior recognition towards opportunistic road anomaly detection,” by Ishikawa and Fujinami. Three papers on LBS are as follows: (1) “A high-efficiency method of mobile positioning based on commercial vehicle operation data,” by Chen et al.; (2) “Efficient location privacy-preserving k-anonymity method based on the credible chain,” by Wang et al.; and (3) “Proximity-based asynchronous messaging platform for location-based Internet of things service,” by gon Jo et al. Two papers on sensing techniques and applications are as follows: (1) “Detection of electronic anklet wearers’ groupings throughout telematics monitoring,” by Machado et al.; and (2) “Camera coverage estimation based on multistage grid subdivision,” by Wang et al.

Summary
The techniques of Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile communication have been developed to detect human and environment information (e.g., geo-information [1,2], weather information [3,4], bio-information [5,6], human behaviors [7,8], etc.) for a variety of intelligent services and applications. Several IoT applications, which include energy [21,22], enterprise [23,24], healthcare [25,26], public services [27,28], residency [29,30], retail [31,32], and transportation [33,34], have been designed and implemented to detect environmental changes and send instant updates to a cloud computing server farm via mobile communications and middleware for big geo-data analyzes [35,36]. The aim of this special issue is to introduce the readers a number of papers on various aspects of IoT applications. The distribution of authors’ country is showed as follows: Topics covered in this issue include three main parts: (1) intelligent transportation systems (ITS), (2) location-based services (LBS), and (3) sensing techniques and applications. The three topics and accepted papers are briefly described below
