Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, there has been growing interest in intelligent transportation systems aimed at improving the safety and efficiency of transportation networks. Research efforts have been directed towards various areas such as the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), security and privacy concerns within vehicular networks, as well as advancements in vehicular edge and fog computing. These developments have paved the way for the deployment of smart vehicular systems, ranging from vehicle-to-everything communication (V2X) capabilities to the emergence of autonomous vehicles.
This Special Issue aims to delve into the multifaceted challenges and burgeoning opportunities within the IoV. We invite high-quality technical papers that focus on innovative and emerging technologies and services in the IoV, from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Submissions of original research work on all topics related to the IoV are welcome. Furthermore, we welcome survey papers that shed light on emerging trends and new research frontiers.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:
- Security and privacy in the IoV
- AI- and machine learning-enabled techniques for the IoV
- Vehicular cloud and edge computing
- Federated learning and distributed AI in vehicular networks
- Resource allocations in vehicular networks
- Simulations and modeling for the IoV
- Connected autonomous vehicles
- IoV infrastructure and hardware systems
- Datasets, benchmarks, and open-source tools
- Trustworthy AI systems
- Distributed computing in the IoV
- Digital Twin in the IoV
- Privacy and security in vehicular networks
- Misbehavior and intrusion detection in the IoV
- Smart transportation
- Explainable AI for vehicular communication networks
- 5G- and 6G-based vehicular communication networks
- Challenges, solutions, and opportunities in the IoV
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
