Vehicular Networking in Intelligent Transportation Systems
This special issue belongs to the section "Network Virtualization and Edge/Fog Computing".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Autonomous driving technology plays a central role in ITS technology to solve the problems of loss of human life, air pollution, energy consumption, and time loss in road traffic. However, standalone autonomous driving has the same limitations as human drivers because it replaces the driver's sensory organs, thinking ability, and operating ability with sensors, computers, and driving devices. To overcome these limitations, researchers and developers focus on connected cooperative automated mobility (CCAM), which combines technologies from the connected car, cooperative ITS, and automated driving fields, which have been studied and developed separately until now. CCAM aims to achieve a level of safety and efficiency impossible with human driving imitation. This Special Issue aims to report network technologies' contributions to supporting autonomous vehicles.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Future Internet is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
