Novel Methods and Technologies for Intelligent Vehicles: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Intelligent vehicle (IV) is a comprehensive system that integrates functions such as environment perception, planning, and decision making, and multi-level assisted driving. It concentrates on the technologies of computer, modern sensing, information fusion, communication, artificial intelligence, and automatic control, etc.

The improvement of the intelligence level of IV can enhance traffic safety and efficiency effectively. In recent years, with the development of hardware and software, the technology of Intelligent Connected Vehicle (ICV) has achieved rapid progress. However, there are many critical and difficult issues that remain to be addressed.

This Special Issue is dedicated to papers focusing on novel methods and technologies for intelligent vehicles. Researchers from both academia and industry are welcomed to submit unpublished research work related to the perception, decision-making and control, and other key technologies of IV. This includes but is not limited to the following: Intelligent Connected Vehicles; Artificial Intelligence; Navigation and Localization; Environmental Perception; Cooperative Vehicle Infrastructure Systems; Data Fusion; Driver-autonomous Integration Cooperative Driving; Decision-making and Planning; Vehicle Dynamics Control.
