Emerging technologies toward a connected vehicle-infrastructure-pedestrian environment and big data have made it easier and cheaper to collect, store, analyze, use, and disseminate multi-source data. The connected environment also introduces new approaches to flexible control and management of transportation systems in real time to improve overall system performance. Given the benefits of a connected environment, it is crucial that we understand how the current intelligent transportation system could be adapted to the connected environment. •Advances in information technologies are leading to connected environments that must be addressed in the context of ITS.•Interactions between cyber, social, and physical spaces must be studied to better associate and fuse emerging multi-source data.•Research on microscopic and macroscopic flow models for mixed CAVs and RHVs is needed due to the different characteristics of automated vehicles.
